Crysis 3 Benchmark - GTX 670 560Ti 465 GTS 450

[DryCreamer]

I did a benchmark of Crysis 3, a 45 second FRAPS run in the 2nd stage, Welcome to the Jungle, at the very beginning right when you setup out of the building into the Dome for the first time. I ran to the end of the grassy area and back, 3 difference runs for each setting High Med Low.

i3 3220/ i7 3770K
4GB DDR3
Intel ITX H67
Corsair CX750M PSU

Settings:
1080P unless noted
16 AF, Lens Flare on, Motion blur off
Textures set to Very High
FXAA on, turning it off only netted 1 FPS for each card


Avg Min Avg Min Avg Min

GTX 560Ti GTX 465 GTS 450 GTX 670
High 34 22 26 19 18 12 38 24
Med 39 28 34 24 23 17 49 36
Low 53 38 39 28 29 25

GTS 450
Low 1080p 29 25
Low 900p 38 32
Low 720p 41 33

GTX 670
Very High 34 22
High 38 24
Med 51 37
Low 49 36

I'm REALLY running into a CPU bottle neck with the GTX 670 and the i3, on the High runs, the GPU was only like 50-60% load, when I cranked MSAA up to x4, the load was 100%, but the Avg FPS was 23... the i3 just can't keep up, it was about 80-90% for all setups...

EDIT:

I bought an i7 (I sold one of my Mustangs and it DEFINITELY improved FPS on all levels, here is my update and a link to my video review:

Avg FPS / Min FPS

GTX 670
__i3 3220____i7 3770K
VH 34 22 ____ 45 39
Hi 38 24 ____ 59 50
Me 51 37 ____ 70 48
Lo 49 36 ____ 78 52


GTX 560 Ti
__i3 3220____i7 3770K
Hi 34 22 ____ 36 28
Me 39 28 ____ 52 43
Lo 53 38 ____ 62 27*

*All the cards with only 1GB of VRAM were VERY sensitive to the Texture quality
Since I ran all my benchmarks with Very High textures, I went back through and
ran them again on some other settings

The 560 Ti was VERY IMPACTED by lowering the texture settings (these are with the i7):

Avg / Min FPS

HIGH/ VH Textures___36 28
HIGH/LOW Textures___38 34 - I ran this 4 times, same result EVERY time
LOW/ VH Textures___62 27***
LOW/MED Textures___65 57 - massive bump in the minimum


*** this was my standard benchmark for low, and it kept chugging, so I ran it a few more times and noticed the chugging was VERY consistent, so since I was planning on testing textures anyway, I turned it down to Medium and LOOK at the result!

Get a single GPU? Less micro stutter and better support in games?

I am not seeing any micro stutter, and a single GPU would actually be a side-move performance-wise.

If i spend money, I want to see a noticeable improvement.

On paper, a single card would net me ~5 FPS and two 660's would get me between 15 and 20 FPS. for the same or less money.

I know that no micro stutter now doesn't mean I won't gt micro stutter with another pair of cards, but I'm willing to risk it.

If I wait for the next-gen GPU's there will probably be a single card that will give me a noticeable boost over my two 560's, but then my 560's will net me less money when I sell them.
