Testing Continued...

Crysis

Ever since Crysis came out, it has been bringing the best computers to their knees.  Let's see how the 4870's handle one of the roughest bench marking games on the planet.  The HardwareOC Crysis benchmark program was used and the settings were on high and FSAA was at 2x.

Ouch.  Crysis is still laying the smack down on video cards it seems.

High Quality Testing

I haven't forgotten about all of you that want to see these tests completed at their highest settings.  This section will satisfy your craving for quality.  I have gone back through and ran each game benchmark with everything set to max.  Everything was tested with at least 8x AA, with the exception of Call of Juarez.  Its highest setting was 4x MSAA.  Alright, let's see how a pair of HD4870's handle super high quality.

The HD4870 performs exceptionally well at high quality.  It actually seems to have gotten better with the harder benchmarks.  There are a couple benchmarks that the HD4870 performed better at with the high settings.
