Win XP Results - Unreal Tournament 3 & Crysis

All the GeForce GTX 260 cards performed similarly in Unreal Tournament 3, with the higher clock speeds for the XFX and Zotac making any kind of impact only at the resolution of 1920 x 1440. The good news for NVIDIA is that in this game, the single cards could actually challenge the dual 4850 cards, at least at certain settings and resolutions.

In Crysis, the overclocked 260 pair again showed only a slight edge over the default version and all of them were in fact put under some pressure by the Radeon HD 4850 in CrossFire. The Radeon HD 4870 was also competing rather well here. Things changed when anti-aliasing was enabled, with the NVIDIA cards generally doing better than the ATI ones.
