After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 - Gaming with Eyefinity
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is a huge game for the PC market, making a nice spot among gaming clans everywhere. It has a good singleplayer storyline about a superweapon in South America. BFBC2 is built on the Frostbite game engine which is fully DirectX 11 compliant. It has a fully destructible environment which makes it a stunningly visual game which pushes the limits of any video card.
Settings used in testing are as followed.
Level of Detail: High
Texture Quality: High
Shadow Quality: High
Effects Quality: High
Anti Aliasing: 8x
Anisotropic Filter: 16x
Vsync: Off

The sapphire Radeon HD 6870 Flex does an excellent job at making BFBC2 a great gaming experience. The numbers are lower than the others in the review on a single display setup, but the gap closes quickly in Eyefinity mode.
If you want to fully immerse yourself while playing BFBC2 a three monitor setup using the Radeon HD 6870 is a great choice.
