Crysis Warhead and Far Cry 2 Results

The Sapphire HD 5870 Vapor-X was marginally quicker than a stock Radeon HD 5870 on Crysis Warhead thanks to its slightly higher clock speeds. Despite that, it could not surpass the twin-GPU power of NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 295.

 

Once again, the Sapphire HD 5870 Vapor-X was slightly quicker than a stock Radeon HD 5870, but the difference is nearly negligible since both cards are running well above the 30fps playable threshold. Interestingly, the Sapphire HD 5870 Vapor-X was as quick as the GeForce GTX 295 or a little faster at times when 4x anti-aliasing setting was used. But when we upped the intensity by enabling 8x anti-aliasing, the GeForce GTX 295 stormed ahead, partly thanks to its larger 1792MB frame buffer.
