Performance in First-Person 3D Shooters

Call of Duty: World at War

Starting from version 1.3 we use the game’s integrated benchmarking options together with a custom demo record. Unfortunately, this method does not report the bottom frame rate.

As we might have guessed beforehand, the EVGA card has no advantage over the reference version despite the double amount of onboard memory. Overclocking is far more rewarding as it makes the EVGA comparable to the Radeon HD 4890 and even faster at 2560x1600.

Crysis Warhead

We had some hope about Crysis Warhead, yet this game seems to be quite satisfied with 896 megabytes of local graphics memory, too. The effect from the double amount of memory can only be seen at 2560x1600 but it is small and useless due to the overall low performance of the card.
