Per-second frame-rates for dual-GPU setups

Per-second frame-rates for dual-GPU cards

One GTX 690 just about fends off two HD 7970 cards. Frame-rates rarely dip below 60fps. Two TITANs provide silky-smooth gameplay.

A £750 GTX 690 is still good enough to play the game at 2,560x1,600. AMD's two cards receive a nice, consistent bump during the middle section of our test.

Only twin TITANs are able to render smooth gameplay at three-screen 5,760x1,080. Even these behemoths cannot manage that feat with very high-quality settings.

Quick conclusion

Crysis 3 remains just as system-hungry as its predecessors. Missing an Enthusiast mode but still able to tax £1,650 worth of graphics hardware, you may well need to upgrade your rig to play the game at high-quality settings.

The question is always the same though…a system killer because of amazing graphics or a result of an unoptomized game?
Will it play on my NVIDIA Ion system?






… nah I'm just messin' with ya!
Why would you want to upgrade to play what is a great looking game with a short and rather mediocre single player? You play it once and you're done with it, then move on to the next generic FPS.
At medium settings it should be much less taxing and probably quite playable.
I don't even think its fair to decree crysis 3 a particularly impressive game in the graphics department. I don't deny, they are nice looking, but nothing particularly impressive. The graphics of games like Far Cry 3, Witcher 2, and even Battlefields 3, all look better, and their engines are far more efficient, despite doing more work. The Crysis 3 engine is appalling as far as efficiency goes.
