I tried with this card and for Crysis Warhead there is no any problem. I have tried with following parameter

•Resolutions: 1680x1050, 1920x1200 and 2560x1600 pixels;
•setting anisotropic filtering: 16x;
•Setting anti-aliasing: both with AA disabled and with 4x AA;
•quality settings within the game: high
•Setting API: DirectX 10
•number of runs for each resolution: 5, discarding the extreme values and taking an average of the central rounded to the nearest whole frame;

Depending on what map ,the performance of cards based on same architecture (ATI and NVIDIA) tend to remain aligned with each other, to change radically in some cases the relationship between boards with different architecture as some maps and others prefer an architecture behave better with others, since there are too many variables involved.

In general, among the the single-GPU ATI Radeon HD 5870 is always preferable, especially by enabling anti aliasing 4x. The Radeon HD 5850 suffers from the comparison with the GeForce GTX 285 without anti-aliasing enabled, instead gaining margin when the AA4x is used. The GeForce GTX 295 is faster then the proposal among those tested, thanks to the presence of two GPUs working in parallel and to the benefits of independent memory bus for each GPU, capable of a bandwidth of 246.4 Gbytes per second against 153.6 Gbytes per second of the solution Radeon HD 5870.
