Windows Vista Results - Crysis Warhead & Far Cry 2

The Palit GeForce GTX 260+ Sonic continued its good showing in Crysis Warhead where it outperformed its ATI rivals again. However, its lead was apparent only on the lower settings. At the higher resolutions with anti-aliasing turned on, it was barely a single frame faster than the Sapphire and HIS duo of factory-overclocked Radeon HD 4870 cards.

In Far Cry 2, the Palit GeForce GTX 260+ Sonic really shone when the going got rough. With 8x anti-aliasing turned on, it was about 18% faster than the quickest Radeon HD 4870 card - the Sapphire HD 4870 Toxic Edition. And even on the most demanding setting (1920 x 1440, 8x AA), it still managed playable frame rates of 32.28fps. On the other hand, its competitors could only do 27+ fps at best - below the 30fps threshold.
