Crysis Warhead bashes on these high-end GPUs when run via the game's Enthusiast setting. The average frame-rate belies the fact that it feels quite playable at 1,680x1,050 on all three GPUs. We've not run it at 2,560x1,600 because the results are too inconsistent to post a meaningful benchmark score.

The newest game in the suite runs smoothly with the ultra preset and 4x antialiasing used. Only the Radeon cards can run the DX11 path. Performance takes a nose-dive for a very minimal increase in image quality. We compared the side-by-side screengrabs from the DX9 and DX11 benchmarks and found it difficult to spot a difference in the static shots, so don't expect to be wowed by DX11 on this particular title, especially when concentrating on overtaking an opponent.
