Are the performance charts enough for you, or shall we continue with the commendations? First of all, the performance is simply phenomenal, but this card packs even more heat. This was the first time we could play Crysis as its authors meant it to be played (pun intended!) ever since it first appeared.
1600x1200 with details set to high, and everything was smooth as it could be. There was a stuttering issue here and there, but this is related to Crysis itself, not the card.
What also came as a pleasant surprise is that the card was not very noisy even after hours of gameplay. It has its peaks, but these are far and few. As for the overclocking, we neither had time nor wanted to torture the card with that as well. Why would we?
You will certainly not remain uninformed, though – as soon as we receive more samples and a few driver revisions, we will cover that topic as well. For now, this is the best graphics card in the entire market and the most complete choice one can get for his/her money. As the author of these lines would gladly carry this baby home, the award we will give this card is fully deserved.
