Crysis 2 may not have lived up to the expectations set by its predecessor, but with the DX11 patch and high-res textures, it's a gorgeous-looking game.

PowerColor's PCS+ is comfortably quicker than a reference 7950, but if you're all about frames per second, you get what you pay for. Spend an extra £10 on the Sapphire card and performance nudges up another fraction, and putting down another £10 to bag the XFX card will give similar results.
