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.



While the ASUS card is able to take good advantage of its high clock speeds and at lower resolutions, it drops a bit behind the stock 8800GTS 512MB but that doesn’t stop it from thoroughly trouncing a stock 8800GT. Unfortunately, even this overclocked card is not able to play Crysis at high settings at anything above 1280x1024.
