Crysis
Official website

It's the year 2019 when a group of researchers suddenly disappears just after discovering something very frightening. Your team is there to get them back, but instead of making the quick run through the jungle the island seem to been stacked full of Korean soldiers and alien scumbags. Things get worse since an unknown force seem to be altering the wither system...

From the hands of those who made Far Cry, Crytek now presents you Crysis, a first person shooter based on the second generation CryEngine game engine. This shooter comes with near real graphics quality, definitely a challenge for even the fastest video cards found on today’s market. We used the Crysis Benchmark Tool to measure in-game performance, the "Sphere" level was our test of choice:



Being one of the most taxing games out there, most of the current mainstream video cards have it far from easy producing enjoyable frame rates at high resolutions. Reducing image quality to the medium level helps quite a lot, the slowest cards still have issues from time to time, favorable are the G92 based VGA's which all show quite a percentage gap compared to the other video cards. The 9800GTX yet again takes first spot, but the difference compared to the 8800GTS is negligible. The 8800GT does fall behind in average frame rate due to the lower rendering power, factory overclocked cards might bring the GT up to 9800GTX levels though.
