Crysis DX10



1280 X 1024





1600 X 1200





1920 X 1080




Here we have some very interesting results. The HD4850 seems to struggle a fair bit when AA is turned off since on some occasions it is even passed by the 880GTS 512MB. But then when AA is turned on, it really gets the chance to show how little impact higher IQ settings make upon it since performance stays nearly the same as in the 0XAA tests. In our opinion, it would be a shame if you ignored turning on the eye candy when using this card. There are also the telltale indications of some driver issues when you look at the minimum frame ratees which should be ALOT better than what we see here.
