The Radeon R9 280X Review: Feat. Asus & XFX - Meet The Radeon 200 Series

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.
As a fairly old single player game we don’t put too much stock into Crysis’ performance, but we do like to track it for historical purposes and to see how well newer cards handle a somewhat older game. To that end it’s always interesting to note just how well AMD’s cards do here; Crysis loves memory bandwidth and 280X has plenty to spare.
