Crysis: Warhead DX10 GPU Performance


1680 X 1050





2560 X 1600




Unfortunately for the ATI cards, their success in the DX9 version of Warhead couldn’t be repeated in DX10 and Nvidia cards take the lead. Their only saving grace is the performance of the HD 4870 1GB in the final test and the overall ass-kickery displayed by the HD 4870 X2.

Nvidia cards don’t perform too well here either since they all struggle to attain playable framerates but they do stay ahead of their ATI competition. It would be nice to finally play Crysis at higher resolutions and detail settings but unfortunately, that just isn’t going to happen quite yet…
