Everyone knows that Crysis is easily one of the most demanding games out there on the shelves. It requires a very fast CPU and GPU to run even moderately well. Our test features the latest version of Crysis using the latest patch and each resolution test included high and very high detail mode settings along with generous amounts of AA. Below are the results.



The results very much speak for themselves. Applying 4xAA and very high detail settings causes both cards to struggle to find playable FPS. When we say playable 25-30FPS is playable, anything lower is deemed unplayable and generally unacceptable because of the stutters and jerkiness. 4xAA along with just the high detail settings gives us FPS on the very edge of playable and most of the game can be played under this setting. 2xAA is going to offer the most playability as this under very high and high detail settings give comfortable FPS.

The important thing to note though, is that the GTX 260 AMP˛! manages to win at every level when against the HD 4870.
