great bench!!!!!

So happy I went with an AMD system to play this game. My FX-8350 and 2x7850 2GB's run this game over 60fps always. Amazing scaling, so impressed. I am running 13.2 BETA drivers as well.

Would have liked to seen an older X58 i7 added to the mix for those still on the fence on whether they should upgrade theirs or not.

A stock i7-920 or 930 still does quite well. There's certainly no need to upgrade, especially if you overclock.

It would be cool to occasionally see some older processors (like 1st gen Core i7) mixed in with the results. How do they fare against newer processors when paired with a newer graphics card in a newer game? Upgrading a video card is easy... upgrading cpu/mobo/ram is a bigger investment.

LOL, I guess I should have read all the comments before posting (like the one immediately above), but I'm glad that some of you have the same questions!

my CFX setup runs eyefinity on high settings just fine thank you... im surprised not to see 3 and 4 card setups being benched using 3 monitors.... lets face it, anyone who does eyefinity usually has money... so buying another card really isn't an issue, its more about starting with the right MB/CPU combo them building on that.... I guess I wont be seeing ivy bridge coming to the X79 platform.... sucks for me 🙁

No need for Ivy Bridge on X79, but I wouldn't upgrade until the next enthusiast-level platform is released if you're on X58. X58 is still a great platform. Gaming performance improvements aren't significant going from X58 to X79, though if you do go to X79, a Sandy Bridge E processor with a PCIe gen 3 ready motherboard is plenty. I don't think an Ivy Bridge-E release would have made all that much of a difference from a gaming standpoint.

Why is the performance so bad in these benchmarks? I get 40-60 fps fully maxed, 1080p, high motion blur and 2x smaa. I have an oc'd 670, i5 2400 and 4gb ram.

They pick the most punishing part of the game, so most of the time you'll see higher framerates than they record.

Core 2 Duo + 7750 at 1080p. Playable on low,looks like Ultra.

with gigabyte 670 oc (2 GB) x2 (sli) i was able to easily play this at 2560x1440. Of course for $800 in GPU's, I'd hope so.

I think you should change the name of the article. Cyrsis 3 is not a game, it is more like a long demo (i mean for a technology demo) of a game engine.
And i must say i does not deserve a game title cause it isn't Quake or Unreal.

I dont understand the hate for this game. It was plenty of fun beating the campaign, absolutely gorgeous (had it on ultra settings 4x msaa), an emotional campaign, a beautiful score, and a quite entertaining multiplayer. Sure, the hardest difficulty wasn't as hard as it made you assume, but it was a very good game. It had very open battlefields, almost like crysis 1/warhead. Seriously, the crysis fanbase is full of a bunch of whiny assholes. Sure the campaign was shorter that crysis 1/warhead/2, but it was very well crafted. It's better to have quality than quantity.

First of all at the begining Crytek made Crysis like the idea of making Quake or Unreal cause their main goal was to show capabilities of the game engine that they were working at.
However it gained huge popularity by single player mode at the game community cause players at these days enjoy by graphics not a good story nor good gameplay (i must admit Crysis has some good gameplay time to time).You can say Quake and Unreal made that too but it was a different success.Quake and Unreal did that that by game mechanics (especially gameplay) and these games are not story base games.
So we should consider Crysis is a graphical base technology demo not a game.Because it is a movie that you can play piece by piece. Beginning to the end you can't effect to the story or change it, you don't have something to solve just kill
and move forward.
