what's up guys so as the title of this video suggests today I'm gonna be showing you some gaming benchmarks of Crysis 3 it's currently in open beta at least during the time to filming this video it's multiplayer and I've been playing it a lot lately because I've been benchmarking but I've actually been liking it a lot as well it looks amazing and it's actually really fun I found myself playing it more than actually benchmarking I kind of got carried away but today I'm gonna be showing you eight different video cards and how they perform with this game so I've got four Nvidia and four AMD cards and and I'm gonna pit them against each other to see which one performs the best but first let's take a look at the hardware that I was using so I'm using a core i7 2640 400 megahertz and keep in mind guys that Crysis 3 does utilize a lot of your CPUs processing power which is why I was actually seeing temps in the high 80s at times I'm also running on the z68 chipset with an Asus board I've got 16 gigs of Vengeance Ram clocked at 1600 mega transfers per second you can take a look at the other specs right there and I did want to point out that I am on Windows 7 64 bit and I am using the latest AMD and NVIDIA drivers and lastly all of these tests were run at 1920 by 1080 on a 27-inch Asus vg2 seven eight alright so starting off with the big dawgs we've got EVGA GTX 680 up against H is 79 70 X this is the gigahertz Edition so it comes to factory overclock out of the box and I was able to get max settings on both of these cards as you can see the framerate is marginal I mean just by 2 frames the 680 beat out in the 7970 just barely as far as the temps go obviously it's gonna vary a lot from manufacturer to manufacturer so we did see a better cooler more efficient cooler on HIAS card but yeah as you can see they're very high settings completely maxed out as you can see I'm using SM AAA it's a bit more it's actually much more efficient method of rendering than MSAA this was actually able to achieve higher framerate with that setting on moving on we've got the GTX 670 this is my personal card as most of you know by asus up against another H is card the 7950 and here we saw we're able to achieve maximum settings on both cards once again and as you can see the frame rates are just basically exactly the same so there was very little difference other than the aftermarket cooler of course but you can see there it's it's pretty much negligible at this point that brings us to PNY gtx 660ti that was up against the Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 and here we can see that we actually had to change some of the settings we are no longer operating at maximum settings with a 7870 I had to turn down the SMA a to 2x while the gtx 660ti was actually able to achieve cold Mac settings while still getting average FPS of 35 and last but not least actually last and least was an MSI GTX 650 Ti versus the H is 7850 and here we can see we definitely bump down the settings the 650 TI didn't perform all that great I thought it was actually going to outdo the 7850 for whatever reason but I actually had to turn down all the video settings to high including the texture resolution and also the SMA and anisotropy was bumped down to 2x as far as the 7850 goes as you can see there I was still operating at very high so almost Mac settings but I definitely had turned on the SMA a2 2x as well and that wraps it up for this video hopefully next time somebody asks you can my video card run Crysis you can tell them yes it can or no it cannot you need a better video card because you suck that's gonna do it for now guys thank you all for watching and I'll see you in the next video
