i agree that Crysis favours Nvidia. i disagree that it should be completely revoked from testing though.

in my opinion, Crysis is one of the ultimate testing platforms in that it shows that if an ATI card is not only keeping up with but beating an Nvidia card, it must be bloody good given the level of optimisation Nvidia has in their favour.

besides, you guys should never judge your purchases solely off bench results anyway. guaranteed you will always meet disappointment.

lets suck in our pride and face it, as much as we hate to admit, Crysis is the best looking and most demanding game on the market at the moment, why not bench it.
Not the best looking sorry.

Many other benchmarks favour one brand over the other. Previous Futuremark benchmarks used to favour ATI cards in many cases, although nVidia's newer drivers are eating into Vantage reasonably well.

Dunno what your problem is.. but the Crysis bench is a good way to compare GPU's performance in Crysis.. So.. I voted for no.

I've seen it at 1680x1050 at Medium and my computer is average so I'd say no, on average it doesn't look the best.

Funny how this got posted right after they reviewed the 4870x2 in crosfirex vs sli gtx 280 and the gtx 280 won in crysis lol

I'm putting in a no.

What if people are buying a card because they want it to run crysis? Then bias or not, they just want the card that runs Crysis the best as that will be their sole game.

Long shot, but, I like all benches and don't rely on just one to determine anything for me.
