Crysis: Warhead (DX10)



To benchmark Warhead, we recorded a 5 minute timedemo on the Ice level which included ranged and hand to hand combat. The sequence was then played back using the Crysis Benchmarking Tool from HOC

1680 x 1050





1920 x 1200





2560 x 1600





The HD 4870X2 has never been a strong performer in Crysis Warhead DX10 and the HD 5870 is able to really flex its muscles. Where it really shines is in the minimum framerate department where it tears the two dual GPU cards to pieces.
