Gigabyte GTX 650 Ti Boost Video Card Review

Crysis 2 is a CryEngine 3 powered game designed to set the standards for high quality graphics.  The game engine has been upgraded to support DX11 and features Nvidia technologies such as native 3D Vision support.  We are using the Adrenaline Crysis 2 Benchmark Tool and the Central Park map to capture framerates.

You may notice that as we get to the game benchmarks there is a sizable difference between the ultra high-res 2560x1600 resolution and the next step down at 1920x1080.  Considering that most gamers are running the 1080p resolution it is no wonder that some considerable effort went into making sure games would run butter smooth at that res.

The results here are closer to what we had expected from a DX11 benchmark with only a few FPS separating the two video cards.
