[QUOTE="i_max2k2, post: 531174, member: 6136"] I have no idea where you got to know that crysis is horribly coded, its not have you played crysis?? , no game come's close to it in terms of graphics people at crytek have always said that the game is ahead of its times and that the game would take time to get maxxed out and that increases the longevity of the game! Anandtech does not overclock their system's processor and 2 cards together are cpu bottlenecked, if you have to look for performance look at the single card results, btw looking for CF/SLI results on a review site to judge single card performance isn't a great idea dude lol. :rofl: Also 9800gx2 is clocked at 600mhz/2000mhz way lower than the 2 9800GTX[B]+[/B] @ 738mhz/2200mhz, they are not vanilla 9800gtx's either btw, Also 2 cards in sli perform better than 2 cards sandwiched together with lower clocks! Now for crysis performance look here [IMG]http://www.hardocp.com/images/articles/1214363351CrDBh6XGXC_4_2_l.gif[/IMG] from here [url=http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTUyNCw0LCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==][H] Enthusiast - AMD Radeon HD 4800 Series[/url] Hardocp overclocks their processor to 3.66ghz for their benchmarks. Also check out guru3d results [url=http://www.guru3d.com/article/radeon-hd-4870-review--asus/10]Radeon HD 4870 review - ASUS[/url] look at the last graph and you will notice that the 260 catches up with the 4870 at 25x16, what does it tell you? the 260 was bottlenecked at lower resolution and in pure power its as fast as the 4870 if not faster! Also always notice the minimum fps all 200 series card results usually have higher minimum fps then 4000 series making the gameplay much more smoother and playable. You will never notice difference in game play with higher maximum fps i.e. between 60 and 80 fps but between higher minimum - 11 and 18fps! How I judge performance of a card is looking at the highest resolutions ideally 25x16 with aa/af, cause I know that at lower resolutions cards will be bottlenecked and I will always overclock my system substantially, so the numbers at lower resolutions for me will be pretty high from the reviews.
