Crysis Warhead & Far Cry 2 Results

The GeForce GTX 480 began to flex its muscles on Crysis Warhead, outperforming the Radeon HD 5870 by an average of around 10%. It also gets the distinction of being the only single GPU card capable of breaching the magical 30fps mark on the most intense setting of 1920 x 1200 with 4x anti-aliasing enabled. Although the Radeon HD 5870 is just slightly behind, it's still quite an achievement, nonetheless. Again, the Radeon HD 5970 is the one to beat, and we also noted that the performance of the GeForce GTX 480 is comparable to that of the GeForce GTX 295.

 

On Far Cry 2, the Radeon HD 5870 was absolutely massacred by the GeForce GTX 480, as it was an astonishing 40 - 50% quicker. In fact, with anti-aliasing enabled, it was able to outperform even the Radeon HD 5970, which up till now, had been the quickest card. It was also markedly faster than the older GeForce GTX 295 and nearly twice as quick as the GeForce GTX 285.
