Sapphire Radeon R7 260X 2GB OC 2x DVI Video Card Review
By
Crysis 3
Like the others, it is a first-person shooter developed by Crytek, using their CryEngine 3. Released in February 2013, it is well known to make even powerful system choke. It has probably the highest graphics requirements of any game available today. Unfortunately, Crytek didnt include a standardized benchmark with Crysis 3. While the enemies will move about on their own, we will attempt to keep the same testing process for each test.
Crysis 3 has a reputation for being highly resource intensive. Most graphics cards will have problems running Crysis 3 at maximum settings. We have lowered the graphics quality to Medium in order for Crysis 3 to be playable on all three cards.
Benchmark Results: The R7 260X performed better than the older 560Ti, however not as well as the other two cards. Taking into account the price difference between the various cards the R7 260X performed rather well compared to the 560Ti and HD7870.
