Crysis 2 DX11 Performance - GPU and CPU

guru3D.com has posted an article assessing DX11 performance in Crysis 2.

Make no mistake, this upgrade makes your GPU(s) sweat, but Crysis 2 has become amongst the best looking games anno 2011, and though late to market with these patches, it is a much welcomed upgrade.

I don't think, overall, that the DX11 and High Res Texture updates have made it as good as it would have been if it was designed to be rendered in DX11 as a priority over DX10 or DX9. Assets and environments would be modelled in a different way to take advantage of the detailed geometry that DX11 makes possible.

Hopefully Crytek have learned their lesson from disregarding their core fanbase: The PC gamer. If they were smart, they would do like DICE and use PC as the lead platform for Crysis 3 and port to consoles.

HAH! This is Crytek/EA, so don't count on it.

Well Dice is part of EA too so honestly now we just have to convince Crytek that they are idiots for not taking advantage of the pc.

I think DICE has set the standard for all EA partners to now follow.

Make it for the PC first then port down.

Crytek are really a bunch of idiots. their whole gimmick was graphical superiority but then they make a console port for the PC instead of a DX11 monster. Crysis 2 with DX11 Elmer's Glued on barely surpasses Crysis 1.

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9211h ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
