Crysis Warhead Benchmarks

[Wreckage]

http://www.hardocp.com/news.ht...xoZW50aHVzaWFzdCwsLDE=

Those gamers with a more modest video card budget are certainly not out in the cold for Warhead. The GeForce GTX 260 outperformed the Radeon HD 4870 in almost every test we ran, and it can be had right now for just under $200 USD. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 is simply a phenomenal video card for Crysis: Warhead, and virtually any other game as well.

With a lot of companies licensing this game engine, this is a good review of how certain video cards will perform in many upcoming games.

Like who? Can you list three upcoming non-Crytek games that use it?

Currently led by members of the Gears of War 2 development team, Spawnpoint is looking for additional staff to assist with a ?new project? that will make use of ?latest generation technologies such as the Unreal Engine of CryEngine.?

That's with only 2 minutes on google. Not listing the Crytek games coming out as well and more games I'm sure will be announced.

You just got sacked, son!

# Vigilance (Military Training Game) - The Harrington Group, Inc. (Not for public release).[7]

this looks the most worthwhile
- nfpr


in HardOCP's first testing round they actually found the Radeon faster than the 260GTX. in the second, it *choked* on one of their famous "real world" benchmarks


so the OP is pointing to a "win" for the radeon and a loss by default
- good one

here is what they said about highest playable:

At 2560x1600, there is little to no difference between the performance on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280 and the ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2. In addition, there is also very little difference between the GeForce GTX 260 and the Radeon HD 4870. The Radeon HD 4870 may at first appear to be slightly faster, but the game's settings could not be increased without losing playability

but then they seem to mess up the settings at 19x12 - where the speculate the Radeon's 512MB of VRAM might be holding it back - even though it was faster than the 260 at 25x16.

and clearly when a GPU drops to 10 fps after a decent average and high frame rate, there are driver issues .. and there are many places in Warhead that slows as badly as Crysis
- if i wanted to, i bet i could make a 280 choke on a certain section, if i went looking for it

i want to see repeatable benchmarks .. not their nonsense testing

Looks like bunch of no hit game developers. Glad someone is using this engine besides Crytek.

Crysis is a extremely flexible engine and without a doubt Hardocp, could of done better with the settings. Also where's the 4870 1GB?

Well I including some screenshots from my config on my 4870. and you'll see it's more than playable besides looking awesome.

If futures crytek games are as flexible as crysis, then I'll be more than happy.

Looks great. I'll skip this game though after seeing the aliens are back.. :disgust:

Yeah......I'm with IcePickFreak here. Far Cry was ruined for me as soon as the monster mutants started appearing. The aliens thing is the main reason I still haven't gotten around to playing Crysis yet. Hopefully Far Cry 2 won't have any of that nonsense.

Okay, you have more than three titles, which is fine. The problem is you only have seven but one doesn't count because it isn't available to the public, so that makes six. Is six your definition of "a lot of companies"?

In reality the number of games using CryEngine 2 is a drop in the bucket compared to say the Unreal 3 engine. I count 78 titles.

78 titles is what I?d classify as ?a lot?; giving that classification to six is laughable.

Hey, and I've actually heard of some of those titles and developers .

Sorry, but as soon as people start throwing around laundry lists of no-name games and no-name developers to support the idea that some technology or other (PhysX, DX10.1, etc) is about to become mainstream and we should really care, I start to space out.

 

[BenSkywalker]

Uhm, Far Cry 2?

Kind of confused why that one wasn't listed(it is not a Crytek game). Also, that list of 78 games has 3 Epic titles in it BFG, and Tiberium is on there which was cancelled(unfortunately, that one was looking good for a while). Anyway, Cryengine2 being used in 10 confirmed games at this point isn't too shabby IMO. It looks like it is quickly gaining on the Unreal engine in the PC space(obviously UE3 has a huge lead on the console side).

 

[AmberClad]

Far Cry 2 won't be using CryENGINE 2. If I recall, it'll be using a modified CryENGINE 1.

What about it?

It wasn't listed because it uses a custom in-house engine called Dunia, an engine built from scratch by Ubisoft.

If six is laughable, why then did you ask for three? Why did you not ask for 78 if that is all that would have satisfied you? He gave you more than you asked for, yet still not enough.
I for one really like the CryEngine and glad that it will be used in more games.
I'm sure that at one time, the Unreal 3 engine had only six companies using it.
Six games based on the CryEngine would probably be more than the normal dude/dudette would own. Let alone 78.

No kidding, heh, never even bothered to look, couldn't imagine why they wouldn't use CryEngine.

 

[AmberClad]

Sorry, BFG's right -- it reuses a tiny amount of old CryENGINE 1 code, but it's mostly new code. As for the why -- Dunia is apparently designed to have less stringent hardware requirements than CryENGINE 2.

I hope is still looks and plays just as well as if they had used CE2.

 

[nerp]

Am I the only one that thinks the Crytex engine is horribly inefficient?

To be perfectly honest I didn't even expect there would be three, much less six. So yes, my expectations were exceeded but that's not saying much given they were so low to begin with.

My point still stands: six is not ?a lot?, especially since none of the non-Crytek titles are even out yet. Six upcoming titles is ?a beginning?.

Heh, I didn't expect him to come out with more than 3 either to be honest. Beginning, yes. 6 companies is rather respectable for a beginning. Unreal 3 Engine is not at it's beginning, so it just doesn't seem right to compare it to CE2. I think six titles is a lot, for a beginning. Hey, it's better than 3.
