Crysis 3

Homepage: Crysis.com/us/crysis-3 | Publisher: Electronic Arts | Developer: Crytek

Crysis 3 is a beautiful-looking game that continues to tax high-end systems. We've FRAPS'd a 30-second section near the start of the game, with lashing rain, numerous reflections and full DX11 pomp on show.

Radeon R9 290X and GeForce GTX Titan/GTX 780 produce near-identical scores in the demanding Crysis 3, too. Let's zoom into the per-second figures for more clarity.

The Titan is a touch faster, though playing through Crysis 3 on the two GPUs reinforces the notion that both mete out equivalent gameplay.
