C&C Generals: Zero Hour Performance no AA/AF
The 5700 Ultra shows a bit of a performance edge over the other two NVIDIA cards we tested here, but still falls short of anything ATI. Oddly though, it looks to me like there is an issue with the different ways these cards are handling timing the frames. The ATI cards all have instantaneous maximum frame rates into the hundreds, while the 5700 Ultra only reaches 76. The 5600 and 4200 don't even make it over 60.
All of the cards have the same minimum frame rate at 15 frames per second.
C&C Generals: Zero Hour Performance 4xAA/8xAF
We see a similar trend with ATI cards coming out ahead of the NVIDIA solutions, but the 5700 Ultra does a good job of approaching the 9600 Pro in this benchmark. With the exception of the 4200 card, the min frame rates were again at 15.

Anand reviews are complete BS. Hardocp and even Tomshardware show the exact opposite of everything this review says. And as for the IQ comparison, complete and utter bullshit. Hardocp found visual differences in just about EVERY game out there, and actually gave FULLSCREEN UNCOMPRESSED screenshots, unlike Anand's tiny jpg's that didnt even include any information about filtering quality, none of them included the ground! GJ Anand, next time when you tell me there is no image quality differences, show me fullscreen shots of EVERY gameAnonymous User - Thursday, October 23, 2003 - link
Nvidia still cheating via lowering image quality/effects - why are you selling out and not at least letting your readers know about it now? Check out some of the image quality cheats in hardocp's review - very lame nvidia.wingless - Tuesday, August 25, 2015 - link

The missing benchmarks are a real shame.
