The AMD Radeon R9 295X2 Review

Crysis: Warhead

Up next is our legacy title for 2013/2014, Crysis: Warhead. The stand-alone expansion to 2007’s Crysis, at over 5 years old Crysis: Warhead can still beat most systems down. Crysis was intended to be future-looking as far as performance and visual quality goes, and it has clearly achieved that. We’ve only finally reached the point where single-GPU cards have come out that can hit 60fps at 1920 with 4xAA, never mind 2560 and beyond.

At 1440p AMD and NVIDIA are within 10% of each other. However if we crank up the resolution to 2160p, the GTX 780 Ti SLI starts falling well behind the 295X2. Though this performance advantage doesn't translate to improved minimums; even at 2160p NVIDIA and AMD are close together on minimum framerates.
