6870 performance lesser known games

[biggles]

Cryostasis
Red Faction Guerilla
Need for Speed Shift

None of the review sites will bench these games but I am curious how they perform on a 6870. Cryostasis demo runs like crap on my 4890, probably badly coded, but sometimes games like that do fine with extra horsepower.

Red Faction supposedly lagged when buildings were coming down, again criticized for subpar optimization.

Need for Speed Shift demo dropped below 30 fps at times on my 4890. I know it is an older title but it would be worth playing it if could maintain 60 fps in cockpit view.

If nobody has these, I will do some benchmarking after my 6870 arrives this week, in case anybody else is interested.

NFS:Shift needs patch 1.2 on ATi's hardware to perform correctly due "lazy dev" syndrome, with patch 1.2 it runs perfectly.

Haven't looked into the others but really, shift with 1.2 is even playable on my living room pc with the 5670HD.


Edit to add:
Everywhere you look on the web they say that Cryostasis is badly coded and runs like crap on both sides of the fence.

RFG needs a performance update:
