    I'm pretty sure they most will not be using Crysis as a benchmark any time soon, as a benchmark it does not accurately reflect a general overview of gaming performance (this is the reason they stopped using it a while ago) and as such it is of limited value in a general graphics card review where only 4-5 games are used. If you want to know how a card performs in Crysis look at a review aimed specifically at that purpose.

    Hi. (Sorry for delay.) Good point about not reflecting general performance. Hadn't thought of that.
