Crysis 3 Tested, Benchmarked

[EXCellR8]

Definitely disappointed with this "should-have-been-crysis-2-dlc" sequel, but it did keep me entertained for a little while and looked terrific of course.

Single non-OC 7970 ran it alright in Eyefinity using med-high settings, but there were definitely some performance hits... notably while driving the buggy in the mud/water while there was a lot of crossfire and enemy activity. Dynamic lighting and effects seem to bog it down a little too but it was plenty playable.

Why on earth are they using catalyst 12.2 beta 6 ?!?!?! catalyst 13.1 is out! if you are going to use the current nvidia video drivers, why on earth are you using 1 year old amd drivers? so nvidia biased....

Let me help you with this

 

[EXCellR8]

Apparently someone doesn't understand what beta drivers are for... it happens.

it seems like every other official release I have issues with. last graphics driver fixed a problem I was experiencing, and the latest one broke it again!

I tried 13.2, but muh gaems kept crashing.

13.1 is nice and stable.

Keep an eye out for our article Monday we have done a fair bit more testing with a lot more GPUs and GPUs.

I ran the test on techspot very high setting methodology on 1080p and got an avg of 43.767 fps
my rig follows
i7 2600k stock
asus dcii top gtx 560(non ti) 2 way sli enabled
8 gb ddr3 ram
benched for 90s on post human as techspot described, triple checked my gfx setting before commencing the bench

Are you running the latest driver? They optimized the drivers by now.

That's very good performance since a single GTX 560 Ti version got 19fps at the 1200p res. Obviously the new driver performance improvements are working.

He has 2 560 non ti in SLI

He has 2 560 non ti in SLI

Yep that's how I understood it.

Oh sorry, when I saw single 560Ti I got confused .

Oh sorry, when I saw single 560Ti I got confused .

That's why I said "Ti version", we only tested the 560 Ti in that review so its all I could refer to. The single 560 Ti got 19fps and he said his 560 SLI cards got 43fps. Given that the non-Ti is much slower than the Ti that is some pretty impressive performance. Obviously single card performance has been improved and SLI is scaling very well.
