But Can It Run Crysis? 10 Years Later

Shame we don't get games like this anymore, Now it's all watered down to run on consoles and maybe the PC gets a little high res texture pack addon.
 
GTA (was it 4) was a bugfest if it is the right version I am thinking about, the eye candy was nothing special and the game had a Social feature" called "Garage" AFAIR but could be something else that kept running outside the game and sucking up memory till it was slater patched added to it was not as old as Crysis.
 
Took this the other day with the Rygel texture pack and AF/POM mod, Crysis really stands the test of time -

You mean releasing a game with unplayable graphics settings relative to hardware available for a really long time.

Is that laziness by the developers or extra work by the developers to do that?

I'm of the mind that you can create a ridiculous graphical workload by either approach.
 
Think you would need sli to max gta at 1080p 60fps.

If I max it out with my gtx 1080 it runs at about 30fps in the grass.

Bet it looked well nice 4k maxed out.

Just tried GTAV maxed on Pascal.

A single Titan does it easy at 1080p

2 Titans are fine to max 2160p.
 
Funnily enough, I installed Crysis Warhead (basically a better optimised Crysis) on Friday to test on my new 4K TV. For some reason, I can't get it past 24fps and Google seems to indicate this is a common issue.
If you don't want to run it windowed you could try making a custom resolution that is slightly lower than the res you want to play at. I had the same problem with Crysis 2 on a 1080p tv stuck at 24Hz and it worked for me.

Better than console ports that do not push hardware advances.

How is that a good thing? I only got around to completing the Crysis series this year because of that. I don’t want to wait 10 years to play these so called games at very acceptable framerates.

Did you run round the long grass?

My friends asus strix 1080ti clocked up only gets 35fps in the grass. Can't see the titan being much faster.

The Crysis 3 predator combat scenes were taxing, granted it was still above 65fps unlike most of the game that was in the 100’s.

The scene before the tanker carriage.

Crysis maxed at playable framerates at 1080p has been possible for a long time. And it most certainly was a worthwhile exercise as even with reduced settings it was easily the most beautiful game of it's day.
