Crysis Warhead Performance Analysis

Wed 2008-10-01 - Posted by Patrick "MACMAC" MacMillan

A little late with this one, but TechSpot have posted a very interesting Crysis Warhead performance analysis. If you are considering buying the game, but aren’t sure how it will work with your hardware then this article is worth a look.

Let’s see what they had to say:

“Based on our findings the only graphics cards that are going to be able to utilize the impressive “enthusiast” quality settings include the GeForce GTX 280/260 and Radeon HD 4870/4870 X2. The “gamer” quality settings also worked well with the Radeon HD 4850, GeForce 9800 GTX/GTX+, and GeForce 8800 GTS.

Everyone has their own idea of what kind of frame rates provide perfectly playable performance, and I know that my standards are quite high. The developers at Crytek say that gamers need only 30 - 35 fps on average, and for the most part this is fine for single player gaming.”

While Crysis Warhead does generally run better on mainstream hardware than the original did, it is still an extremely demanding game. Feel free to join our on-going discussion about the game.
