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 GeForce GTX 780's higher clocks and newer drivers (which wouldn't install on the other GeForces) gave it an edge over every other single-GPU card we tested in Crysis 3. SLI scaled particularly well with the 780s in this game too, which put the configuration at the top of the charts.

Save for a couple of spikes, there were no major problems with frame delivery in Crysis 3 with the single-GPU configurations. Interestingly enough, it was the GeForces that exhibited the spikes here, and not the Radeon HD 7970.

The tables turn with the dual-GPU configurations, however. Here, the GeForces deliver far more consistent frametimes and the Radeon HD 7970 CrossFire setup suffers from significant variations throughout the benchmark run.
