Videocards/VGADB by jmke @ 2010-06-02
In this live article we will continuously add more video card results compared in 15 benchmarks, run at 5 different resolutions/settings, and also measuring power consumption, noise and temperature. In short: a result database. In our initial release we have tested 15 different video cards, ranging from low end Geforce 8500 GT to high end HD 5870 in CF. Relative Performance Charts added!
The long awaited successor of Crysis finally left beta stage a few months ago, it features a tweaked and updated Cry Engine 2 which promises better visuals and lower system requirements.
We used this Crysis Warhead benchmark tool which enables you to play back a gameplay demo; we used the included Frost, Ambush and Avalanche timedemos.
Crysis Warhead does away with the low/medium/high/very high quality settings, instead you now have Minimum/Mainstream/Gamer/Enthusiast. Minimum is low quality of Crysis, Mainstream is Medium Quality, Gamer is High Quality while Enthusiast is the Very High quality setting of Crysis. We used the Gamer DX9 setting as well as the very stressing DX10 Enthusiast IQ setting, not all cards could run this game successfully.
I entered the data but mismatched the resolutions; I'm generating new charts now, after a page reload the results for HD 5870 should be there;

The other VGA cards were previously photographed and explored by me, geoffrey, massman and other reviewers;

this results database will not replace the stand alone reviews, which will still appear on the site, but their results will go into this database for a larger comparison tool; currently the charts are a bit poor, we'll aim to improve them, and add more configuration options to them, as we learn the tools of the trade.
