Testing (continued):
Crysis (DirectX 10):
A third party DirectX 10 benchmark built around the 3D game Crysis was executed with a resolution of 1680x1050, 8x Anti-Aliasing, in 64-Bit mode, and with settings on high. Results are provided in terms of a minimum, maximum, and average frame rate value, and higher is better for all three. In this test it takes the CrossFire pair of HD5750s to just squeak by the HD4890, but only in two of the three values. A single HD5850 performs a bit better than the CorssFire pair of HD5750 cards, but when the HD5850 cards are placed in CrossFire the difference is much greater.
World in Conflict (DirectX 10):
A DirectX 10 benchmark included with World in Conflict was executed with a resolution of 1680x1050, and with settings on high. The benchmark provides results in terms of a minimum, maximum, and average frame rate value, and higher is better for all three. Putting a pair of HD5850s to work together really creates quite a performance surge in this game!
