Crysis
Publisher: Electronic Arts
We patch
Crysis to v1.21 and run it in DirectX 10 mode with High detail settings. We use 1,680 x 1,050 with no AA and no AF to give a reasonably real-world test without the risk that the graphics card will be a limiting factor to CPU performance.
We use the Habour test in the Crysis benchmark tool to playback a section of night combat. We repeat this test three times, or until a reliable set of results is achieved. The consistent results are then averaged to give the figures below.
This is the best way to test how a CPU affects game performance, as the game will be generating AI and physics and game rules for the CPU to perform.
