Compared to the original "Crysis", the latest "Crysis Warhead" offers many visual improvements in both DirectX9 and DirectX10 rendering modes.

Here are the FPS results we got with the Inno3D GTX275 OC graphics card in all possible resolutions/quality settings and with anti-aliasing disabled:

DX9	1280x1024		1680x1050		1920x1200
DX9	Low	Average	Low	Average	Low	Average
Performance	62,28	126,88	54,91	120,15	56,85	122,37
Mainstream	32,33	76,74	32,35	72,75	32,96	71,29
Gamer	22,26	55,28	22,46	49,94	21,46	43,76
Enthusiast	22,81	42,51	17,88	34,51	15,46	28,48

Enabling DirectX10 has a impact upon performance. Again the Gamer level seems to be the perfect choice and depending resolution, you can enjoy really high frame rates.

DX10	1280x1024		1680x1050		1920x1200
DX10	Low	Average	Low	Average	Low	Average
Performance	62,12	105,97	55,88	102,21	50,82	101,51
Mainstream	34,16	70,62	36,17	67,52	36,06	62,10
Gamer	22,30	50,03	20,67	42,71	21,72	36,99
Enthusiast	19,48	34,38	17,36	29,07	16,41	24,30

We compare the Inno3D GTX275 OC with various other graphics cards. At 1280x1024, the tested card is very close to the GTX285 series:

At 1680x1050, both the GTX285 and GTX 275 are still very close:

Finally at 1920x1200 the GTX285 is slightly faster..

The DirectX10 rendering mode seems to be harder for all the cards to handle.

At 1280x1024 we see a clear advantage of the GTX285 series over the GTX275, but only at the Performance/Mainstream quality levels.

The situation is the same at 1680x1050 & 1920x1200. The GTX285 series is better only when you choose the Performance/Mainstream detail levels. If you set the equality settings lower, the two cards will give you the same performance.
