Performance in First-Person 3D Shooters

Call of Duty: World at War

The GeForce GTX 285 is not impressive at first, being inferior to the Radeon HD 4850 X2. The per-overclocked can only provide a small increase in bottom speed. But starting from the resolution of 1920x1200 the EVGA GeForce GTX 285 SSC overtakes the dual-chip card from ATI and leaves it behind at 2560x1600, delivering a playable frame rate. Thus, top-end single-chip solutions seem to have high potential yet. Let’s see if this trend continues in the other tests.

Crysis Warhead

Well, the new single-chip card from Nvidia easily outperforms its dual-chip ATI opponent while EVGA’s factory overclocking ensures it a nice performance boost. The game even seems to be playable at 1280x1024 with the highest graphics quality settings.
