Crysis Warhead
With the synthetic benchmarks out of the way, we now seek to answer the question: “How well does it run Crysis?” For these tests, we kept detail settings on Mainstream, to keep the GPU from bottlenecking things unduly. For this test we ran through the first part of the first level, which features dense jungle, heavy firefights, and a glorious sunrise over the ocean.

Results were quite pleasant, with frame rates of ~45 FPS at 1280×1024, and a still-quite-playable ~37 FPS at 1680×1050. The brief dips in frame rate down to near 0 represent quick-load screens, something the relentless pace of this game makes frequent.
Do you peferr Intel over AMD or vice versa. I peferr Intel still even though AMD is clearly starting to give them a run for their money. I don’t particularly like Asus boards. I had bad experiences with Asus in the past. I peferr MSI, Intel, and Gigabyte.
