Crysis

Publisher: Electronic Arts
We tested the game using the 64-bit executable in DirectX 10 mode, with the 1.21 patch applied. We used a custom timedemo recorded on the Harbour map, which is more representative of gameplay than the built-in benchmark.

For our testing, we set all the settings to High, with 2x anti-aliasing, no anisotropic filtering and a resolution of 1,680 x 1,050.
