32-Bit CPU Rendering 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.

Higher results are better.

Crysis really only scales to two cores, and after that things like clockspeed, cache efficency and processor-to-system bandwidth become more important. The result is that the Athlon II X4 635 CPU simply doesn't do all that well in gaming tests like this, you'll be better served with a faster videocard than anything else!

Windows 7 doesn't change how Crysis behaves on a test system configured to be CPU-limited. By dialing down the graphical elements to the point where they are no longer videocard-limited, we can see what impact the processor, number of cores/threads, and elements like clock speed have. Core for core, the Intel Core i5 750 manages 104FPS while the AII X4 635 pushes out just 76FPS.
