Sapphire Radeon HD 5970 OC 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 HD 5970 OC compares favorably with the HD 5870 Crossfire setup and really beats the combo in three out of four resolutions even though it is clocked lower. The lead over the GTX 295 is a stunning 8 FPS at 2560x1600. The 5970 just crushes the competition.
