VTX3D HD7990 Review (w/ GTX690 & 6GB HD7970 Toxic CF)

A sequel set 3 years after the original game, Crysis 2 takes place in New York City in 2023. The player controls Alcatraz, a US Marine who is found almost dead by Prophet, and given the upgraded Nanosuit 2 before he (Prophet) commits suicide. He is then tasked by Prophet to rescue a scientist named Nathan Gould. At first, Alcatraz has to face Crynet's CELL agents, a mercenary force who police Manhattan, still thinking that Alcatraz is Prophet. After discovering Ceph capsules and Catalyst, the Ceph take over as the main antagonists for the rest of the game.

Alcatraz and Gould team up with Tara Strickland, an undercover CIA lieutenant, and Jacob Hargreave, the original creator of the nanosuit. Alcatraz eventually enters the Ceph core spire and wipes out all the Ceph in New York. Now facing death again, he meets a memory pattern of Prophet, whose DNA is merged into Alcatraz's. The game closes with Alcatraz being contacted by Karl Rasch, a nanosuit scientist, and vowing to continue the war against the Ceph.

We configured the game to run at maximum image quality settings with the high resolution texture pack installed.

The battle between the GTX690 and HD7990 is interesting because while the HD7990 averages a little higher, the minimum frame rates are also lower.
