The folks at Crytek set themselves a challenge to create a PC within a budget of $900 USD that would be able to play Crysis on the highest settings. And according to them, they managed to succeed. Their system consisted of a Core2Duo, 8800GT 512MB, NVIDIA nForce 650i Socket 775 MB, 2GB ram 240 pin DDR 2 800 and other necessary components such as a 250GB 7200 RPM. They conclude that their experiment shows Crysis provides unparalleled performance on high settings on an easily affordable machine.
A Crysis VR mod is now available for download, allowing users to experience the first entry in the series in VR
No one cares. The whole can it run Crysis is old, dead and stupid. It's also irrelevant, considering only less than one percent of pc owners, own a high-end PC. Second, I believe Crysis wasn't even optimized properly.
Let's hope the modders can get the other Crysis games working in VR as they use the same Cryengine.
GF365: "There are some games with extraordinary visuals that impress us to this day. Here are old games with outstanding graphics."
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.
It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good
Digital Foundry: "When Alex Battaglia got his hands on a Steam Deck, this was inevitable, right? So can the Steam Deck really run Crysis? And if so, what type of optimised settings produce the best performance? What's the best balance of features and battery life... and what about 60fps?"
The article fails to mention the most important aspect.
What RESOLUTION did they run at????
Edit: Sorry if I did miss the resolution, It must have been number blindness.. :-)
Well, this is hope yet for me to get back into PC gaming, I'm getting fed up how servers are managed under xbox live..
Hmmm - so pay 3X the cost of a next gen cosole to run the game at 720P?
@Captn Chaos - you must have missed it - they clearly state they ran it at 1280 x 720.
Are they running it on high or very high? I can only manage 720p at very high and my pc is no slouch. x6800 at 3.5ghz, 2gigs 1066 dominator, wd raptor, 680i, x-fi, 640 meg 8800gts overclocked.
i ran the game (with an e6600, 8800 gtx OC, 2gb ram) at 1680*1050 getting about 35fps....I had everything at high, except for 2 settings. They were something like shadows and post processing I think.
But in all seriousness, I would rather turn the settings down than go to a lower resolution, as I tried the game at 1280*1024 and it didnt look right at all considering I had just played the game at my other res....
with that price i can have a ps3 (399$) and a 360 (350 elite) and i still have some money to spend on games
