 Crysis |
If you're at all into enthusiast computing, the highly anticipated single player demo of the hot, new, upcoming FPS smash-hit Crysis, should require no introduction. Crytek's game engine visuals are easily the most impressive real-time 3D renderings we've seen on the computer screen to date. The engine employs some of the latest techniques in 3D rendering like Parallax Occlusion Mapping, Subsurface Scattering, Motion Blur and Depth-of-Field effects, as well as some of the most impressive use of Shader technology we've seen yet. In short, for those of you that want to skip the technical jib-jab, Crysis is HOT. We ran the SP demo with all of the game's visual options set to 'High' to put a significant load on the graphics cards being tested. |
We saw more of the same in the Crysis GPU benchmark. In this test, the EAH3870 X2 1GB TOP once again finishes slightly ahead of the other Radeon HD 3870 X2 cards at all resolutions, with the largest margin of victory coming at 1920 x 1200.
