Page 8 - Performance: Gaming (Crysis: Warhead)
The Crysis continuation. Crytek claim that a bit more effects are added as well as some engine optimization. In order to test the game performance we used the Crysis Warhead in-game benchmark tool HOCBench,because it is very comfy. For starters the tool could use a time demo DIFFERENT than the one integrated in Crysis, since we all know that both AMD and NVIDIA had done some trickery, optimizing their tests especially for it.

Crysis: Warhead is a heavy game, thus it uses lots of graphic and system memory. That's quite evident and visible in both graphics - in the lighter mode without using Antialiasing/Anisoptropic and less effects is clear that the used system memory is less than 2GB and the difference between 2, 3 and 6GB is minimal. But when we turn on various filtration options and more effects at high resolutions like 1920x1200, 3GB are not enough an the hard drive is constantly grinding, pushing data in the swap file.
