Introducing AMD’s “Turks” – HD 6670 and HD 6570
Crysis Warhead
Crysis Warhead is a science fiction first-person shooter developed by the Hungarian studio Crytek and published by Electronic Arts. Crysis Warhead is a stand-alone expansion to Crysis that was released in 2008. It is optimized better than the original Crysis to look as good with less hardware resources required to render it.
We test first at 1920×1200 with 2xAA at maxed-out Enthusiast (Very High) settings.
Now we test at 1680×1050 with 2xAA/16xAF with maxed-out in-game “Enthusiast” (very high) settings:
Even the overclocked HD 6670 falls short of the GTS 450 while the HD 6790 is solidly faster than the GTX 550 Ti. We would not use DX10 at all for playing this game but would instead use DX9 settings for our target cards.
great review mark! Huge piles of data, thats what i love about the abt. I totally agree with your conclusion which is spot on. Given the gts450 and hd5770 may not be around for much longer these cards should be a great option in the future but for now there are some really nice price/performance options in the same bracket and they just dont shine through them. In time they may fall in place when some of these killer deals from the last generation slowly slip out of the picture.
