Crysis 3, which is powered by Crytek’s proprietary CryENGINE 3 technology, is the third installment in this popular franchise. Crysis 3 is the sequel to 2011’s Crysis 2 and follows Prophet as he returns to New York a few years after the events of Crysis 2. Like previous games in the franchise, Crysis 3 has impressive visuals that can tax even the most powerful PCs when cranked up to their maximum values. We tested this game at various resolutions with all in-game graphics options set to Very High, with 4X MSAA and 16X anisotropic filtering enabled and motion blur set to high. |
The Radeon R9 290 trailed the GeForce GTX 780 by a small margin in Crysis 3 according to our tests, though the disparity is less than 6% at both resolutions.
Save for a couple of huge spikes at the beginning of the run, frame times were very consistent for the Radeon R9 290 in Crysis 3.
