Crysis 3

Homepage: crysis.com/crysis-3 | Publisher: Electronic Arts | Developer: Crytek

Crysis 3 is a beautiful-looking game that continues to tax high-end systems. We've benchmarked a 60-second section near the start of the game, with lashing rain, numerous reflections and full DX11 pomp on show. 4xMSAA is enabled at 1080p and disabled at 4K.

Here's where extra power is genuinely useful. The overclocked Gigabyte is 10 per cent faster than the standard card, adding extra smoothness to this demanding title. The gap to a decent GTX 970 increases to 20 per cent in this instance.

Overclocked or not, there's no getting around the graphics gauntlet that is Crysis 3 at 4K.
