What is Anandtech's Crysis 3 benchmark?

I was just wondering where they benchmark for this? It doesn't say the level. If it's the very first level when Psycho hands you your gun in the rain, my scores are way lower... 😕

High quality - isn't the max preset in Crysis 3 Very High?

The High settings are a lot less demanding so that could explain the discrepancy. Not sure why they wouldn't be using the Very High preset on GPUs like this though.

The first level with the rain is the most demanding level of Crysis 3. The rest of the game runs at 20-30% higher framerates.

It is indeed the first level (Post-Human, IIRC). We take a stroll with Psycho up to the top of the structure you enter.

The first level is very demanding and very challenging for GPUs.

We live in 2015, and Crysis 3 benchs in the reviews still use FXAA and high settings even 1080p. They don't dare to use MSAA and very high settings.

The thoughest GPUs can't deal with a two year old shooter. Because the Moore Law is dead. Don't expect to see miracles from silicon based chips.The fantasy is over. It's the time to face with the cruel truth.
