EVGA GTX 570 SC vs. Sapphire Radeon 6970 to play Crysis

Which video card will play Crysis better at a low resolution (1400x900) at maximum settings with original stock clock speeds?

6970 by a small margin.. 570 at higher resolutions though.. but having such a small res is a waste :(

Either card is a waste at that resolution. An overclocked GTX 460 1GB or a 6870 should suffice. I don't think you should consider anything above a GTX 560 Ti or a 6950.

Oiy...man I just HATE people!! 1400x900 is a FINE res, crisp, clear, no problem at all. 640x480 is the ONLY res that is a waste these days. SHEESH! Well, I am partial to the 570 as I own a few of em but (and again, the res is NOT a "waste")...BUT, at that res, either card would do just fine.KyleGates

The 570 and 6970 are arguably at waste of money at 1920x1080/1200, so they're sure as hell overkill at 1400x900.

TC, like hartsickdiscipl said, you'll be fine with a GTX 460 or 6850/6870. I wouldn't even bother with the 560 Ti or 6950 unless you think you'll be upgrading to a 1920x1080/1200 monitor in the near future.

This overkill argument again? :roll:

He VERY SPECIFICALLY SAYS to "play crysis" what is wrong with everyone?:?

A user over here who gamed at 14x9 upgraded to GTX 570 and reported that he still gets dips in crysis.

You guys are right he should get a 6850, how dare he wants to play crysis in 60FPS, he should settle for 40 and accept dips in 20's because it is truly a crime to buy 6970 for 14x9.:roll::roll:

Not to mention with 4xAA the performance will take a furthur dip on ALL the cards.

Anyways to answer the original question. 6970 is better for this scenario not because it's better overall but because AMD is just superior in crysis.

And for information I bought an 8800GTS 640MB in 2007 and I gamed at 1280x960. Everybody shouted "overkill" to me but it wasnt long that there was no more overkill and I was actually benefiting from having such a card at that res.

Ok, I think that the best decision is to go for the GTX 570 SC and later on, after it gets a little slow, do the step up program to upgrade to the GTX 580. How does that sound?socomusnavy

I have a GTX570 and run Crysis maxed at 1920x1080 no AA and still drop into the 20s now and then, I have no idea why. It used to do this when I was at 1440x900. Chris_53
