Crysis Warhead Hardware Performance Review | ||
| by FiXT | October 10, 2008 | ||
| Setup and Quality Comparison Setup Our test made use of hardware from across the map. For the most part we were able to stick with current products rather than testing older antiquated relics. The specific hardware used during testing will be listed on the individual benchmarks, however below you will find a complete list of the hardware used. The benchmarks themselves took us through 4 separate levels ranging from tropical paradise to harsh blizzards and even through a few intense battles. The average framerates of each of the individual tests were compiled into the end numbers reflected in the graphs. 30FPS is considered a passing grade for smooth and seamless playback. We also took the time to play through the game to ensure that the reported frames and differences would be exactly what a gamer would experience.

Crytek changed from the original naming scheme and instead developed their own descriptions to depict quality settings. A unique feature, but potentially confusing to unknowing gamers. None of our benchmarks included any post processing effects. Only adjustments to the resolution and graphical settings were done using their preset levels.              | ||
