[citation][nom]dragonsqrrl[/nom]Which drivers, running which version of Crysis? At least in Crysis Warhead, I can't recall the HD5870 outperforming the GTX480 since the initial release drivers. At gamer quality, enthusiast shaders, and 4x AA, the GTX480 consistently outperforms the HD5870 at all tested resolutions, and in terms of minimum frame rates (extremely important in any fps) the gap widens significantly.http://www.anandtech.com/show/4008 [...] -gtx-580/6...so I'm not sure what performance figures you're referring to. It's probably a good idea to cite a source, or at least double check the benchmarks, before making a claim about supposed performance.[/citation]
It's the original Crysis where 5870 outperforms the 480.
