GeForce GTX 560 Ti review - DX10: Crysis Warhead

DX10: Crysis Warhead

Dense jungle environments, barren ice fields, Korean soldiers and plenty of flying aliens. There's no denying that this is more of the same, except that here it's a more tightly woven experience with a little less freedom to explore.

With a top-end PC (although Warhead has supposedly benefited from an improved game engine, you'll still need a fairly beefy system) rest assured, developer Crytek has enhanced more than just the graphics engine.

Vehicles are more fun to drive, firefights are more intense and focused, and aliens do more than just float around you. More emphasis on the open-ended environments would have been welcome, but a more exciting (though shorter) campaign, a new multiplayer mode, and a whole bunch of new maps make Crysis Warhead an excellent expansion to one of last year's best shooters.

Crysis Warhead has good looks. As mentioned before, the game looks better than Crysis, and it runs better too. Our test machine, which struggled a bit to run the original at high settings, ran Warhead smoothly with the same settings. Yet as much as you may have heard about Crysis' technical prowess, you'll still be impressed when you feast your eyes on the swaying vegetation, surging water, and expressive animations. Outstanding graphics. Couldn't say more here.

Crysis Warhead then: we up the ante a little more by enabling DX10.

  • Codepath DX10
  • Anti-Aliasing 2x MSAA
  • In game quality mode Gamer

And in the comparative performance chart, we can start to evaluate again. We are seeing very similar performance and numbers, across the board.

Above, based on popular request the results when we switch to Enthusiast mode settings, so here you go. Above 2xAA - DX10 Enthusiast quality setting enabled.

And one more performance chart, we are slowly gathering results for Enthusiast mode, it is the absolute best image quality settings that can be enabled in Crysis, originally designed for future hardware and to date, spanking even the graphics cards released this year. Mind you that in the above chart AIB cards have been thrown into the results, these can have a factory overclock by default.
