Nvidia GTX 480 Review

Testing:

Crysis Warhead is a standalone expansion pack situated in time with the story line of the original Crysis. As Sergeant "Psycho" Sykes, you have a secret mission to accomplish on the far side of the island. Along the way there are EMP blasts and aliens to contend with, as you hunt down the KPA chief. This game uses an enhanced version of the CryEngine 2.

The only cards to deliver equal or higher performance in this test than the GTX 480 are the Dual GPU cards. When compared to the HD 5870 at 1920x1200 and 2560x1600 the performance is within 1 FPS. Overclocking brings an additional 3 FPS at 2560x1600 with a larger margin as the resolution decreases.
