What benchmarks shall I do re: new 6850?

[MSIC]

I yesterday bought an Asus HD 6850 OC from Scan, and hope to have it delivered tomorrow.

I intend to run a few benchmarks before and after the upgrade (from my Radeon 3870), and wondered if there was anything in particular that anyone wanted to see?

I dont intend to pay for any benchmarking tools, but I have the following games installed that may be of interest:
Batman Arkham Asylum
Civ IV
Civ V
Crysis
Battlefield 2
Battlefield Bad Company 2
Aliens Vs Predator.

I cant remember though of those games which have built-in benchmarking tools, but could post my subjective experiences if needed.
I'm also happy to run any free benchmarking tools.

I think you are going to see just a tremendous jump in performance, that any benchmarking tool (even the synthetic ones) will be enough to put a big cheesy grin on your face! Which will then be wiped clean when you crank up the eye candy and are back to square one

I replaced my sons 4850 with the Asus 6850, and the performance improvement was tangible.

For me personally I'm happy not to run any benchmarks, as I'm confident my gaming experience will improve, however i'm just wondering if anyone else who might be contemplating a similar scenario wanted to benefit from this opportunity.

I would be interested as I have an HD3870 and HD4830. However,I have a 1680X1050 monitor though.

Just your general experiences would be of interest to me as I am contemplating a move from a 4850 to 6850 or 5850. I am most interested in noise and performance around the same resolution CAT mentioned.

Metro2033 is another good game for testing from what I have read,although Crysis 2 under DX11 at higher settings will probably push many graphics cards too IMHO.

But if you don't have a benchmark tool for a game it's a far harder thing to do.

There is a benchmark tool for Metro2033:

But I don't own metro2033, and if I read the link correctly, it's a benchmark tool within the game (tell me if im wrong!).
I will consider a couple of the free-to-download benchmarking game/demos, but equally (since I'm expecting the new card to be delivered to me at work today) don't want to spend the whole evening downloading 5 GB demos!

3Dmark11 And then you can feel insignificant like me compared to people with top end cards! The fee demo has the performance test. Few hundred megs iirc.
