Crysis

Crysis (DirectX 10)

Without a doubt the most breath taking game I have seen yet, Crysis is from the developers of Far Cry, yet another title that was ahead of its time.  This game will bring any system to its knees, but look good doing it.

At the bottom resolution in testing the HD 4870 X2 and the GTX 280 are about on par.  Moving past though we quickly see that the AMD card is outclassing the GeForce card.  Again at 1920×1200 the GTX 280 is about 35% slower than the single Radeon HD 4870 X2.  Also again, the price-competitive GTX 260 SLI configuration is competitive.
