Crysis 2 is a first-person shooter developed by Crytek and is built on the CryEngine 3 engine. While the game was lacking in graphical fidelity upon its release, Crytek has since added feature such as D11 and high quality textures. This improved the in-game visuals substantially, which in turn pushes even high-end hardware to the max.
The Top graph reflects our results at 1920x1080, while the lower graph reflects our results Eyefinity and Surround results at 5760x1080.
In Crysis 2 the PowerColor PCS+ was 11% faster than the base model and only 4% slower than the HD 7870. Once overclocked, it managed to best the 7870 by a whole 1FPS.
Once again we are seeing how these cards are not particularity strong at 5760x1080. However, if the settings were reduced to medium levels we still feel they have the power to run most DX11 games above 30FPS.

Is an Powercolor non an Sapphire...
Nice review, regards.
On topic, owned the card, satisfied with it. It was either this or Sapphire, got this in the end. Was surprised at the temperature because there was only one fan and the max temperature i got was 67° at 100% GPU load. I agree with the article's writer, simply the best bang for buck graphic card out there.
The fact the Sapphire versions are smaller than the reference model is an incredibly awesome plus for me as my case is rather small. Also I'd imagine it'd stay cooler than the PowerColor version because it has two fans, and a unique heat sink set up. I'll give my results when it's in my computer and playing games ( probably in 4-6 days ).
