About Crysis:

Crysis, a science fiction first person shooter set in the year 2020. You play as Lieutenant Jack Dunn, codename "Nomad", a United States Army Delta Force operative. The game starts out with a group of archaeologists doing research on an island in the South China Sea. As they were doing their research, minding their own business, they suddenly became overrun and taken captive by the North Korean Army. This is when the US Delta Forces were deployed to rescue the scientists. As the game goes on, you soon find out that the North Koreans are not the only threat on this island. Crysis, released towards the end of 2007, uses DirectX 10 and is currently the most demanding game out there.

Crysis is presently one of the most demanding games on the market today. It is an essential game to test when benchmarking graphics cards which are designed for high end gaming. Being so demanding, we were unfortunately unable to play the game on its highest settings smoothly. Setting the resolution to 1024x768, we obtained an average of 14FPS on high and 18FPS on medium. We then ran the benchmarks again with the 9600GSO overclocked and were able to obtain higher frames per second. Playing the game at medium game settings and the 9600 GSO over clocked, the game play was smooth and did not lag.
