BENCHMARKING
FAR CRY BENCHMARK (8X AA / 16X AF)
Although Far Cry is an older game, its graphical quality still lands it in the realm of one of the most popular games played even today.
With Far Cry 2 released, those days will be numbered. but still, it still provides good relative benchmarking numbers for comparison. The HD4850 in its overclocked form performed very well and was neck in neck with its Sapphire rival.
CALL OF DUTY 2 TECHPOWERUP BENCHMARK (MAXIMUM GRPAHIC QUALITY SETTINGS)
Even though this game was released back in 2005, it still is a very popular game that is played by millions around the world years later.
With a very demanding graphics engine, this game still challenges videocards that are three to four generations past the card series it was initially intended for.
CRYSIS HOC CRYTEK BENCHMARK (8X AA / 16X AF)
Crysis and its full use of almost every DX9c quality setting available is the pivotal game to benchmark any recent hardware against. this game even with moderate resolutions can render a fast card unplayable if you increase the only to a medium level.
Even with moderate resolution settings, Crysis pounded this card and makes the gamer definite turn off or detune the settings in order to get a playable framerate.
CRYSIS WARHEAD HOC CARGO BENCHMARK (8X AA / 16X AF)
With Crysis being hard on any videocard, the Warhead version shows that it is even more graphically intensive. Even with a QX9770 quad core at the helm, this game just pounds even a decent card into something unplayable. Setting will definitely have to be de-tuned in order to even get a decent 60fps framerate.
