1920x1200, same settings as everyone else (4xAA, 16xAF, etc.)
5850 @ stock (725/1000): 53.41
5850 @ XXX speed (755/1125): 56.02 (4.9% faster than stock)
5850 @ 5870 speed (850/1200): 61.58 (15.3% faster than stock)
And while I don't game at 1920x1080, I benched it to make a direct comparison to Apocalypse's 5870:
5850 @ 5870 speed (850/1200): 64.02 (5.4% slower than Apocalypse's 5870)
This confirms my observations in several other games I've benchmarked: 5850 at 5870 speed is 15% faster than stock 5850, 5% slower than stock 5870, so you get a 5% bonus for the 160 extra shaders of the 5870. And overclocking the 5850 makes a great card even better...
By the way, I also played the demo (it gives you 30 minutes of playtime), and while it was amusing, it didn't convince me to buy it. The grappling hook has been done better in Batman, and the third-person gunplay has been done better in many other games (particularly Uncharted 2 on the PS3). Just Cause presents an interesting combo of the two, but it's not a must-have.
Here are my Asus 5850 scores at stock and OC:
5850@stock (725/1000):56.95
5850@oc(1000/1175):72.15
