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.
| GTX 680 is |
1,920x1,080 | 2,560x1,600 | 5,760x1,080 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 23.6% | 16.7% | 30% |
Hmm, one would expect the GTX 680 to lose more ground at 5,760x1,080. Perhaps the Radeon card's limitations are more shader-based in this test, with the surfeit memory bandwidth not helping matters.
It's all over the shop, guvnor. The Crysis 2 benchmark also runs through a set sequence at whatever speed the graphics card can muster. Just like Batman: Arkham City, the test finishes first on the GTX 680... by some time.
Again, too, there are no obvious performance drop-offs from the GTX 680's 2GB buffer. In terms of playable settings we'd knock it back to 2,560x1,600 or drop some of the hard-to-see eye candy at the three-screen setting.
