High-end: Crysis

Crysis (DirectX 10)


Without a doubt the most breath taking game I have seen yet, Crysis is from the developers of Far Cry, yet another title that was ahead of its time.  This game will bring any system to its knees, but look good doing it.

Crysis again shows little difference between Vista and Windows 7 in terms of same-GPU performance though in our Radeon HD 4970 X2 2GB results it looks like the minimum frame rate is regularly lower on Windows 7 than Vista.  Overall though, the Radeon offering does give us a better overall gaming experience though it does have one clear spot where the minimum frame rate falls below that of the NVIDIA GTX 285 card.
