Benchmarks: Very High Operation

The very high quality settings are much kinder on graphics cards. Please note nosotros have dropped the multi-GPU Radeon Hard disk 6990 and GeForce GTX 590 for these lower quality tests.

Nosotros were surprised to run into the GeForce GTX 480 performing better than the GTX 580 with these settings. The cards were using different driver sets but by all accounts, the GTX 580 was using the newer, better optimized driver. This is certainly an interesting and unexpected effect. The GeForce GTX 570 was faster than the GTX 470, though just by 2fps.

The Radeon based graphics cards again suffer, delivering considerably less functioning than its GeForce counterparts. With an average of 75fps at 1680x1050, the Radeon HD 6970 delivered playable performance. In fact, every bill of fare that we tested here provided acceptable performance, as even the dated Radeon Hd 4890 averaged 49fps.

Some of the cards start to sweat when running Crysis two at 1920x1200, namely budget products like the Radeon Hard disk drive 4890 and Radeon HD 5830. The Radeon Hd 6850 averaged 44fps and the GeForce GTX 460 managed 45fps and at this resolution information technology seems gamers using an AMD graphics card would desire at least an Hard disk drive 5850 or preferably the newer HD 6870.

While the GeForce GTX 460 struggled with 45fps, the older GeForce GTX 285 sailed along with an average of 53fps. The onetime GeForce was but 5fps lower than the Radeon HD 5970.

At 2560x1600 the GeForce GTX 580 matches the performance of the older GTX 480 with an boilerplate of 54fps. The GeForce GTX 470 averaged 42fps while the Radeon Hard disk drive 6950 dropped to 39fps. Beyond this, the performance started to become noticeably choppy.
