Crysis: Warhead:
By now, everybody who is anybody knows about
Crysis, and its sequel, Crysis: Warhead. So why don't we skip
the pleasantries and get right to the torture.
Both GPUs ran through
the same sequence, with each run consisting of multiple
resolutions and AA settings, so that we could get a good feel as to
how well the cards scaled. All other settings were maxed out.

Unfortunately, the high clocks on the 4890 XXX
weren't able to hold up to the brutality that a several hour Crysis
run requires, so we had to scale it down to a mere 1000MHz on the
core and 1200MHz on the memory. Not that it hurt anything, the
4890 still walloped the 4870 by 21%-29% in most tests.
