In his day; Crysis was a high graphics benchmark and still is, and its Remastered version is not far behind. One of the most powerful graphics on the market does not reach 60 FPS.
With Crysis Remmastered just around the corner, experiments are underway to see how it's been optimized and how the new features affect the remastered game. The first Crysis was popular for the extremely high specifications it demanded due to ambitious elements like its destructible environments and long draw distance. And its remastered version adds new features such as ray tracing.
Crysis Remastered is still a towering benchmark for graphics
Several experiments have already put Crysis remastered to the test with high graphics. and the result is that not even the most powerful graphics on the market today (ignoring the RTX 30 like the 3090) can move it in very high quality. The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, considered the most powerful on the market, only reaches 38 frames per second when set to 1080p in Very High graphics quality.
Is it possible that the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 can handle close to 60 frames? It is likely, but will have to be tried when they arrive. Some say that a large part of the problem of not reaching 60 frames is because the ray tracing of Crysis Remastered does not have DLSS technology.
Some updates may better optimize the game, and perhaps the day will come when the higher graphics of Crysis Remastered can be used on a home computer. Although it is very very high-end. Maybe with an NVIDIA RTX 4080? Be that as it may, Crysis remastered duels Microsoft Flight Simulator for being the most demanding PC game on the market. The duel for being the benchmark is between those two games and we are not surprised that future graphics are put to the test with these two games.
