Sapphire HD4890 1GB Atomic PCI-e
Video Card
Crysis: Warhead:
By now, everybody who is anybody knows about Crysis, and its sequel, Crysis:
Warhead. It's a brutal test, and it's also my favorite.
This test, being especially brutal, required the
Toxic's overclock to be reduced to 1020MHz on the core and 1050MHz on the
memory. Likewise, the Atomic required its overclock to be
reduced to 1035MHz on the core and 1065 on the memory. Let's
see how the reduced clocks affected the overall scores:

I know this is probably more data than most people
like to wade through. However, in my opinion, in order to get
the complete picture, all the data must be gathered. So what
does this data tell us exactly? At stock settings, the Atomic
generally beats out the Toxic by an average of 4%. At the
maximum overclock settings, the Atomic beats out the Toxic by an
average of 1.5-2%.
