Windows Vista Results - Crysis Warhead & Far Cry 2

Coming to real world benchmarking with Crysis Warhead, the Zotac GeForce GTX 285 AMP! Edition certainly didn't disappoint, recording frame-rates that were comfortably above the playable 30fps threshold up until anti-alising was activated. The regular GeForce GTX 285 didn't do too bad either, delivering on NVIDIA's promise of 10% performance increases over the older GTX 280.

On Far Cry 2, the Zotac GeForce GTX 285 AMP! Edition and regular GTX 285 both managed to put up very playable frame-rates even on our highest settings. The same, however, cannot be said of the Radeon HD 4870 which began to stutter badly when we turned the quality of anti-aliasing up to 8x. Clearly, 512MB is not enough if you wish to play games at the highest settings.
