Crysis 3 Gaming Benchmark
Crysis 3 is a first person shooter video game, published by Electronic Arts and released in February 2013. While older than some of the others it is one of the most visually stunning games released to date and puts a lot of demands on the GPU. This makes it perfect for more real world gaming testing. To obtain repeatable results we have used FRAPs and recorded 90 seconds of the single player ‘Post Human’ level, starting as soon as soon as prophet is handed a Hammer II pistol by Psycho. An average of four runs was taken.
The settings used in the testing below are highest settings for quality, VSync disabled and a resolution of 12560×1440 and 1920×1080. Texture Quality, Game Effects, Objects, Particles, Post Processing, Shadows, Shading, Water, and System Specs all set to Very High. Motion Blurr was set to High and Lens Flare was set to On. Anti-Aliasing was set to MSAA 8X and Antistrophic Filtering was set to 16x.
This is the only game test where the improvements over a stock 780 were in the single digits, but only at 1080P. The very fact that this only happened in one test at one resolution is remarkable to say the least and just underscores how powerful this card is. Of course this ‘mere’ 9.4% difference translates to 3-5 frames extra frames on the minimum side of things with and an extra 4-7fps on average. To us that is a large and noticeable performance boost to say the least!
