The ATI Radeon 5XXX Thread

[astrallite]

You could simply start a new game with Crysis. The 3rd cutscene is the C-130 descent scene, which is actually one of the most punishing scenes in game.

At 1920x1080 Very High DX10 (no AA/AF ), with a GTX 285 SSC and 4ghz i7 I was averaging probably 18fps in that scene. A 2nd 285 SSC brought that up to about 27fps.

If the AMD performance slides are correct the HD5870 should average around ~22fps on the C-130 descent. If it gets that high I'd be VERY impressed, considering a GTX295 probably gets no more than 23-24fps.

If you only have Crysis Warhead, I'd be interested on the lowest framerate you get on the intro scene as well as the smoke effects are pretty demanding on the system.
