DX10 Videocard Benchmarks: Crysis

Crysis 1.2

Source: Electronic Arts

Crysis is a science fiction first-person shooter developed by Crytek. Crysis uses Microsoft's new API, DirectX 10 for graphics rendering, and includes the new engine—the CryEngine 2—that is the successor to Far Cry's CryEngine. CryEngine 2 is among the first engines to use the DirectX 10 framework of Windows Vista, but can also run using DirectX 9, both on Vista and Windows XP.

In today’s videocard killer benchmark, the MSI R3870X2-T2D1G-OC holds its own well, turning in the expected result slightly below the HD 4870 X2, but still more than respectable. Crossfiring the card serves to prevent performance loss as the resolution is ratcheted up.
