Never let it be said that Crytek and its Crysis franchise are not self aware. Proving otherwise, the developers of Crysis Remastered have added a high fidelity setting dubbed "Can It Run Crysis?" to the upcoming PC version of the remake, which promises to tax your system "with unlimited settings."

It looks like Crytek is attempting to kill one of the longest running jokes on PC, that being whether or not something can run Crysis.

At this point, it seems one of two possibilities are most likely—either Crytek is getting ready to announce a remastered version of Crysis, complete with support for real-time ray tracing, or the developer is trolling us.

We use a bevy of benchmarks here at HotHardware to measure everything from computational power to SSD speeds to the graphical prowess of $1000 video cards. I employ 3DMark's Fire Strike software on a near-daily basis for my GPU testing and find that, while it can't perfectly mirror in-game performance, it's a pretty...

We've detailed Crytek's problems in several previous posts, and it's now clear that it wasn't just the company's UK studios that were affected.

One of the ongoing questions around AMD's Mantle API is how much support it would garner in actual shipping titles.
