By Kenny Yeo - 10 Apr 2010

Crysis Warhead & Far Cry 2 Results

Crysis Warhead Results

Although the GeForce GTX470 started brightly on Crysis Warhead, we noticed that performance dips considerably once we increased the resolution. At 1280 x 800, it was about 10% quicker than the Radeon HD 5850, but that margin diminishes as we increased the resolution. At 1680 x 1050 and 1920 x 1200, its performance was nearly identical with that of the Radeon HD 5850. Also, it was around 20% slower than a GeForce GTX 480.

 

Far Cry 2 Results

In our review of the GeForce GTX 480, we found that the new Fermi card was able to blitz the opposition on Far Cry 2 and the GeForce GTX 470 is no different. It comfortable beat both the Radeon HD 5870 and HD 5850 and by some margin too. Overall, it was around 20% quicker than Radeon HD 5870 and over 30% quicker than the Radeon HD 5850.
