Crysis Warhead Hardware Performance Review

Video Card (GPU) Comparison


The video card benchmarking is where the real showdown exists. Crysis relies very heavily on 3D processing, leaving the responsibility to the graphics card to make it or break it.


Both nVidia and ATi have strong showings, matching up evenly. The GTX260 and HD4870 battle it out for third place, ATi narrowing the gap at the higher settings. One of the parties came under scrutiny some time ago for allegedly creating optimized drivers that gave it an unfair advantage, but that does not appear to be the case - the cards fall into nearly the same positions shown by most other benchmarking tools.
