EVGA GeForce GTX 280 1GB Superclocked Review
by Michael "SKYMTL" Hoenig     |     June 16, 2008

Crysis

Crysis is one of those games that comes along every now and then and totally humbles every graphics card on the market. While some people have pointed towards shoddy programming, it is undeniable that this game looks ridiculously good when played at higher settings.

For this test we recorded a custom timedemo on the Sphere level equaling about 15 minutes of game time. All results were recorded with FRAPS over the course of the timedemo. All settings were set at High and DX9 mode was used.


1280 X 1024





1600 X 1200





1920 X 1080





At every resolution in Crysis the EVGA Superclocked card is well ahead of the GX2 but shows that it can really pull ahead when AA is turned on. What impressed us the most was the performance this card displayed at 1920 x 1080 resolution with AA enabled since it was the first time we have experienced consistently playable frame rates in this test. If there is one thing that should stand out it is the minimum reported frames per second which were very, very good.
