Crysis 3

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.

AMD and Nvidia's price-comparable mainstream cards generally cancel each other out in Crysis 3. A wider memory bus and greater core-count really matter here - the R7 265 is 45 per cent faster than the R7 260X: the gain helps smooth out performance at 1080p.
