Crysis Warhead & Far Cry 2 Results

Moving on to real world gaming applications, on Crysis Warhead we noticed that the GeForce GTX 570 was very closely matched by the GeForce GTX 480. This also meant that the GeForce GTX 570 was some way off compared to the GTX 580, by around 15% overall. The GeForce GTX 570 was also at least 10% quicker than the Radeon HD 5870.

The Palit GeForce GTX 570 Sonic Platinum, however, performed admirably as it was markedly faster than the reference GeForce GTX 570 and wasn’t that much slower than a GTX 580. 

 

On Far Cry 2, the GeForce GTX 570 was about as quick as the GeForce GTX 480, but some way off the more powerful GeForce GTX 580. It was also comfortably faster than both the Radeon HD 5870 and HD 6870, the current flagship single GPU cards from ATI/AMD, and was only a fraction slower than the dual-GPU Radeon HD 5970.

The Palit card showed its potential by outpacing the reference GeForce GTX 570 by around 6% overall. It also came very close to matching the GeForce GTX 580, which is certainly impressive.
