Crysis

Crysis is one of those games that comes along every now and then and totally humbles every graphics card on the market. While some people have pointed towards shoddy programming, it is undeniable that this game looks ridiculously good when played at higher settings.

For this test we recorded a custom timedemo on the Harbor level equaling about 15 minutes of game time. All results were recorded with FRAPS over the course of the timedemo. All settings were set at High and DX9 mode was used.



The 9800GTX looks to have no trouble playing this game above 1600x1200 resolution even with AA turned up to 2x. What shocked us the most was how well this card stuck with the 1GB HD3870X2 through all of the tests and even beat it and the 8800GTX when more eye-candy was turned on.
