XFX R7950 Double Dissipation 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: Even on Medium settings, the HD7870 and GTX 560Ti had problems handling Crysis 3. The R7950 shows it’s stuff and would allow the game to be run at the next graphic settings, if desired. On medium, the R7950 performed 35% better than the HD7870.
