Fortunately, Crytek made good on their promise to deliver a game that both looks and performs better, even with an old PC.
In summary, if you are a GeForce 8800 or 9800 GT owner don't be afraid to try the demo – it will run Crysis 2 adequately at 1680x1050 Gamer settings. If you own a GeForce GTX 260 you can expect to enjoy Crysis 2 with great visuals at up to 1920x1200 in Advanced mode, and if you’re lucky enough to own a GTX 500 series card you'll be able to crank the settings to Hardcore and enjoy Crytek’s fantastic first-person shooter as the developers intended with all options enabled at a high resolution.
While the numbers should speak for themselves, we want to hear what you have to say about the game's performance. Did Crytek fulfill their promise to really optimize Crysis 2? Sound off on our forums.
