The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Review

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.
Whereas Battlefield 3 is a game that traditionally favors NVIDIA, Crysis: Warhead has generally favored AMD in this generation, leading to an uphill battle for NVIDIA. 290X was able to beat GTX Titan here at 2560, but with the additional performance offered by the GTX 780 Ti NVIDIA is once again at the top, though only by a margin of under 2fps (or 2%). Otherwise compared to NVIDIA’s other cards, Crysis: Warhead is another consistent game for GTX 780 Ti, with NVIDIA’s latest card beating GTX Titan and GTX 780 by 9% and 18% respectively.
Moving on, even when we double up on cards the GTX 780 Ti and 290X remain close. At 2560 it’s a virtual tie at 87fps apiece, while at 4K the GTX 780 Ti SLI takes a slight lead.
As for our minimum framerates under Crysis: Warhead, NVIDIA does end up breaking the deadlock here with a slight performance advantage for the GTX 780 Ti, beating the 290X by several percent, pushing its minimum framerate above 40fps.

Can someone explain to me the logic of setting the game at 4x antialiasing while playing at 2560x1440?Because I can't find any.

Looks like Anand is more Fan of a AMD rather than Nvidia i can understand that, but check the game bench markings on 780Ti after market cards it kills AMD 290x, i dont understand one thing if game bench marking is all about then i have GTX550ti 1 GB DDR5 runs ultra settings for Sniper Elite 3, Far Cry 3, AC3, AC4 , Sky Rim, the reason is simple and obvious that Nividia has & AMD dosent -- PhysX Software with the Chip on the card it self, i know many of you might be thinking hey even AMD cards utlize PhyX but remember not with right hardware. AMD is Good a CPUs not GPUs. one more interesting point in every 6 out of 10 games splash screen as "Nvidia the way it meant to be played" i have hardly seen any game that says AMD Radeon the way its meant to be played lol. Something to think about, in conclusion Nvidia is for a premium segment the pricing speaks, why else would you pay more price, because Nvidia is confident on their quality, on the other hand competitors go for desperate selling, which puts doubts in you brain.
