NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 Video Card Preview

Crysis: Warhead DX9

To benchmark Warhead, we recorded a 5 minute timedemo on the Ice level which included ranged and hand to hand combat.

These are some interesting results since as you can see; the GTX 295 is able to hold a considerable lead over the HD 4870 X2 in the first test. However, that lead shrinks as resolution and IQ settings increase until the two cards are running neck and neck. What disappointed us somewhat is the fact that the minimum framerates don't see that much of an improvement with the GTX 295.

It seems like there are also some underlying issues with either the driver or the game since there is an actual increase in minimum FPS when applying AA at lower resolutions.
