And it is an amazing game. The absolute pinnacle of PC graphics right now. I'm sure if you are a regular Kotaku reader you've probably seen this. We know Crysis is all about ... this.

We know Crysis is all about the high end, pushing the PC platform to its max. But I had no idea it went this far. PC Games Hardware magazine created a beefy system with NVIDIA's latest and greatest video card...err...video cards. Their brand new Triple SLI, a combination of three NVIDIA geforce 8800s, should make short work of any PC game on the planet. But it couldn't crush Crysis. Running on "very high" settings, the system reached a respectable (but far from mind-blowing) 37.9 FPS. In the words of a Gizmodo staffer, "I don't know how these fuckers developed it." In the words of this Kotaku staffer, "If you can't see a game's graphics on one of the world's most powerful consumer setups, they don't actually exist yet."


I am running an 8600gts with 2 gigs of RAM nowhere near peak graphics and the thing is stunning to look at. Between this, Call of Duty 4, Bioshock, Halflife 2 episodes and Medal of Honor:Airborne the PC has some amazing high end FPS gaming right now.]]> video game physics and 3000 barrels http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/comments.php?DiscussionID=311&Focus=8298#Comment_8298 2007-12-16T08:53:31-08:00 2013-05-19T15:08:10-07:00 matt bevilacqua http://freakangels.com/whitechapel/account.php?u=782 Yeah. That's mind-blowing. All that hardware and it still wasn't enough to max it out. That's pretty much the reason I can't afford to be a dedicated PC gamer.

Also, that Crysis video is awesome, but it isn't real-time stuff, rendered setups :(
