For this article, a total of five GeForce GTX 275 graphics cards will be put to the test. At the time of writing this article it's two weeks after the launch and the first retail products are now hitting the stores in reasonable volume.Īs such we figured to cease the moment and show you a couple of retail boards. And though features and performance wise the product is not exactly the reinvention of the wheel, it definitely is a massive load of performance at a very fair price. The GTX 275 is a card that is being introduced at a 239~249 USD price level. Fitted on a new PCB and armed with a dandy cooler NVIDIA did another thing, they lowered prices significantly. The GeForce GTX 275 has the very same graphics processor as that GTX 285, yet the memory configuration of the GTX 260 (896 MB). Now I know that some of you guys might frown a little about this GTX 275 release, but trust me when I say, this is a really interesting move. NVIDIA launched the GeForce GTX 275 in an allergic reaction to team red's product to show and flex their rendering muscle. The card is positioned directly against the new ATI Radeon HD 4890, yet is slightly cheaper. The GeForce GTX 275 is a bit of a hybrid card in-between the GeForce GTX 260 and GeForce GTX 285. Only at the high resolutions does the slightly fatter memory interface of the GTX 285 give it a bit more of an edge over the GTX 275, but even then it's only by a couple more fps at most.A week or two ago NVIDIA announced it's latest graphics card positioned in the high-end region, called the GeForce GTX 275. That's £80 extra for around 1fps extra of performance? You'd be a fool to spend more than £200 unless you are running a really high resolution monitor. In fact, the GTX 275 is so good in Crysis, that it rivals the performance of the £300 or so GeForce GTX 285. Meanwhile, the HD 4890 is struggling to play the game smoothly at all, with a stuttery minimum of 21fps and a mediocre average of 35.6fps. Take 1,680 x 1,050 with no AA for example, the GTX 275 sails through the game with a minimum of 27fps and an average of 44.3fps. In the mid-range resolution and detail settings, the domination of the GTX 275 over the HD 4890 is clear. The Radeon HD 4890 is consistently a few fps slower than the Nvidia card, which is a shame for ATI considering that its card costs the same, but is louder and produces considerably more heat. While fortune favours the brave, Crysis favours the GeForce GTX 275. By extensively testing using anti-aliasing in very high resolutions in conjunction to Very High quality, we'll be pushing even the bleeding edge hardware on test to the limit.

We set all of the in-game details to High and forced 8x anisotropic filtering in the driver menu as there is currently no support for it in game. It's a little different to other games in that the low frame rates still appear to be quite smooth. We found that around 27-33 fps in our custom timedemo was sufficient enough to obtain a playable frame rate through the game. We used a custom timedemo recorded from the Laws of Nature level which is more representative of gameplay than the built-in benchmark that renders things much faster than you're going to experience in game.

We tested the game using the 64-bit executable under DirectX 10 mode with the 1.21 patch applied.

Crysis is seen by many as the poster boy for DirectX 10 and it will make your system cry, quite literally – it’s a monster! It doesn’t come as much of a surprise then, that the graphics are something special – they’re above and beyond anything we’ve ever seen in a PC game.
