Well, let's find out! 🤣

1. Download and install Crysis SP demo

There are lots of mirrors for the Crysis SP demo. Here are just a few:

http://www.4players.de/4players.php/download_ … load/46497.html

http://www.gamefront.com/files/Crysis+SP+Demo … ;/fileinfo.html

2. Download Guru3D's Crysis Benchmark Tool

Attached to this message, but can also be downloaded from here:

3. Download CPU-Z and GPU-Z

4. Benchmark rules

There are two settings to be used:

1. Meant for XP machines, Vista+ machines with DX9 only graphics card, slower machines. Leave everything at default and make sure that:

*Needs .Net framework 3.5

Resolution = 1280 x 1024
Overall quality = High (Windows XP) or Very High (Vista+ and DX9 option)
Timedemo = benchmark_gpu
DX9

It should look like this:

2. Meant for Vista+ machines. Basically, if your machine can run Crysis in DX10 mode, use this setting. Leave everything at default and make sure that:

Resolution = 1920 x 1080
Overall quality = Very High
Timedemo = benchmark_gpu
DX10

It should look like this:

3. Meant for the slowest machines able to run Crysis. Low settings because of the length of time it takes to complete otherwuse. Leave everything at default and make sure that:

Resolution = 800 x 600
Overall quality = Low
Timedemo = benchmark_gpu
DX9

It should look like this:

5. Submission rules

Screenshot with:

- Two instances of CPU-Z, showing processor and memory
- GPU-Z
- Crysis Benchmark Tool result
- Post anything that you feel could be of interest in your message!

Notes:

- Have fun!
- Anything goes! OC, UC, whatever
- Under XP .Net framework 3.5 is required
- Leave 32 bit mode. 64 bit mode, for some reason, takes you to the introduction
- Leave screenshots at full size. You can just zoom out using CTRL + mouse wheel, or right click > Open image in new tab
- Added a third setting for really slow machines. 800 x 600, Low details and DX9. Otherwise it just take too long
- Noticed that under Windows XP, you can only select high,
- System requirements stolen from Steam:

I will definitely join this compet... ehm Crysis benchmarking assessment for everyone's benefit.

My test bench is full or Slot-1 CPUs at the moment so I will let others show their cards first 😉

New PC: i9 12900K @5GHz all cores @1.2v. MSI PRO Z690-A. 32GB DDR4 3600 CL14. 3070Ti.
Old PC: Dual Xeon X5690@4.6GHz, EVGA SR-2, 48GB DDR3R@2000MHz, Intel X25-M. GTX 980ti.
Older PC: K6-3+ 400@600MHz, PC-Chips M577, 256MB SDRAM, AWE64, Voodoo Banshee.

Seems like an interesting benchmark. I'll definitely post results from a couple of my rigs here!

Cool 😀

Done a run on a XP machine. I had no idea the benchmark would take that long to complete 😵

Very similar! Same ram speed and GPU 😀

Hoping for someone to bring out some big GPU guns for this game... And finding the slowest system than can run it 🤣

Fun... I just bought a GTX970 last week (this is a Gigabyte Mini-ITX card btw), to finally get some of that 4k action.
I have the retail version of Crysis btw, and that one works fine in 64-bit in the benchmark, it seems:

Edit: the 32-bit version does seem to yield slightly higher framerates though:

Lookung at the other results, I guess my i7 860 is limiting the performance somewhat.

Running on my main machine. Its been 8 years and still not able to max it @1080p and AA with 60 fps 😵

Running the full patched retail version, seems to crash whenever I try 32-bit mode.

^@ scali: you're bottlenecking your gpu... by a large margin
@munx you have AA enabled

That I am. Not much of an improvement though.
Seems like my CPU is a bit of a bottleneck here.

Also planning on completing a radeon 9800 pro/Athlon xp machine this month which just barely matches the minimum requirements. Gonna see how this runs 🤣

Just ran the bench in windows7 64-bit, 1920x1080 all high, But i get a strange overall average of 1929,5 fps while low is at 15,61 and high at 22,23.

An AMD GPU, what a surprise 😀

I think slowest possible may be my old Core2 Duo laptop with Intel X3100 GPU. It runs Crysis, even in DX10 mode, but at about 4 fps in 1280x800.
