BFG GTX 280 OCX 1GB Video Card Review

by Michael "SKYMTL" Hoenig     |     August 17, 2008

Crysis DX9


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 Harbor level equaling about 20 minutes of game time through jungle, over water and in vehicles. All results were recorded with FRAPS over the course of the timedemo.

1280 X 1024





1600 X 1200





1920 X 1080




The BFG card shows some very impressive performance in Crysis by hanging tough against the ATI cards but still can eke out a win at higher resolutions. However, its performance against two HD4850 cards in Crossfire is very, very good and the only ATI solutions which pass it are quite a bit more expensive.
