Benchmark Results: Crysis

by

Same story, different game. Crysis slants toward Nvidia’s GeForce GTS 250. But at what price? If you cherry-pick the lowest-price card on Newegg, you’re looking at $120. Prices around $129 and $139 are more common, though.

Once again, the Radeon HD 4770 comes close to ATI’s Radeon HD 4850, sliding past the Radeon HD 4830. With that said, Crysis is still pretty ridiculous, even with AA and AF disabled. Really, 1280x1024 is the only fairly-smooth resolution with High detail settings.

At 1280x1024, the scores with 4xAA are fairly close. Turning up the resolution, however, shows the 1 GB GTS 250 a tad quicker. The Radeon HD 4770 actually slows down to the level of a Radeon HD 4830 as it’s taxed more intensively.

What a shame they could not shave few watts off power consumtion to use it without PCIe power connector. Or at least made the card to work without it and PCIe power connection as optional when You overclock. Hopefully some of the board partners will do that.

Question on Test Setup: what are the GPU/GDDR clocks? Reference?

This just goes to show that AMD is more than CPU's. Looks like you get a lot of card for your money here, and it's not a hand-me-down technology, either; it's cutting-edge.

Here is a rivetuner edit that works. Just change RV770 = 9440h-9443h,944Ch into RV770 = 9440h-9443h,944Ch,94B3h in Rivatuner.cfg

I got mine to 888/1000
