does 1 error in OCCT really mean much?

Are the graphics better than in crysis/warhead, or is it just slower b/c it's a console conversion?

Honestly it looks better than Battlefield 3 to me. Heavy tessellation usage, deferred rendering, very crisp textures now with the high resolution pack.

Consoles got the old version of crysis 2 dumbed down to run well. The DX 11 pack is PC exclusive.

Your "thinking" is wrong. Both AMD and Nvidia throttle all of their cards in furmark.

Both of them cheating doesn't make cheating right.

OCCT and Kombustor do the same thing to the cards that furmark does

True

and it is entirely possible to fry a card using those programs according to both camps.

Then both AMD and nVidia are full of it...
Any card that can be fried using a benchmark suite can be fried using a game. Not EVERY game, but there are games out there that actually manage to stress a GPU more then those benchmarks

Intel/AMD don't throttle their cpus in linx/ibt/etc etc or even tell you not to use them, because they use programs like that themselves in testing. GPU's are NOT cpu's, so don't come back here complaining/whining when you kill your gtx 460.

Actually, its because a GPU is purchased primarily by gamers while CPUs are purchased primarily by corporations. And the latter will not put up with a a POS that catches on fire when you try to use it.

What game stresses a GPU more than OCCT or furmark? I've played a lot of different games and nothing I have tried will do it.

I have Crysis and I will say Crysis 2 will stress the card more maxed out. Crysis gets 40fps for me now, Crysis 2 is about 28fps lol.

Weird, I get 60fps no matter what in Crysis 2 and all my games, drops to 50's and comes back up @ 1080p 8xAA 16xAF high detail , Crysis 2 in game set to ultra detail. Not using the texture patch. tb on, vsync on, Im capped at 60fps its soo smooth, Crysis 2 or BF3 ,, or MW3. thx gl

You using the DX11 patch with tessellation and everything? Not using high resolution textures either? You also said High detail one time and then ultra on the next line so which is it?

Have you actually benchmarked or just walked around on some map inside? Honestly if you run a benchmark off of http://benchzone.adrenaline.com.br/tecnologia/downloads/229/adrenaline-crysis-2-benchmark-tool.html it would clear up a lot of stuff.

he certainly is not using DX11 and staying at 60fps. he always says that he get 60fps in every game with 8x AA which is nonsense. sometimes he will admit he drops in the 50s and in another thread he even said he dropped in the 40s at times.

yes. Also he always gets way way way WAY higher FPS then what anandtech, hardocp, xbitlabs, and any other benchmark site gets for his GPU.

well...judging from this http://www.guru3d.com/article/crysis-2-dx11-vga-and-cpu-performance-benchmarks/9

A GTX 580 gets 50fps with an i7 @ 3.7Ghz and 6GB of memory.

I manage to squeeze out 38 average sometimes @ 1920x1200. Inside a building is mid 40s. That's when I max everything. Object detail to high instead of ultra and it's about 10fps difference in some outdoor areas.
