Crysis Remastered releases in a few hours, and LinusTech has just shared some initial performance impressions of it. Linus used the latest NVIDIA GPU, the NVIDIA GeForce RTX3080, and ran the game in 4K with its “Can it Run Crysis?” settings.
According to Linus, the RTX3080 was able to push 25-32fps with those settings. From the video footage, we can clearly see the GPU having some trouble running the remaster of Crysis. We can also clearly see some annoying stutters. So yeah, don’t expect to be playing the game in 4K/”Can it Run Crysis?” with more than 35fps anytime soon.
Linus then decreased the game’s settings in order to improve performance. Although he did not show the settings he used, he was still unable to get a constant 60fps experience on the NVIDIA GeForce RTX3080. The RTX3080 was pushing from 41fps to 70fps with these undisclosed graphics settings. Given the fact that RTX3080 is around 30% faster than the RTX2080Ti, we can assume that Crytek’s PC system was limited by the AMD Ryzen CPU during its 1080p benchmark.
In case you’re wondering, Linus used an Intel i9 10900k with 32GB of RAM, running at 3200Mhz.
As we’ve already reported, Crysis Remastered will not support with DLSS 2.0 at launch. Crytek promised to add support for it via a post-launch update.
We’ll be sure to share some 4K/Max Settings from Crysis Remastered tomorrow. We also expect our PC Performance Analysis article to go live this weekend.
Stay tuned for more!

Looks like it’s not about playing games anymore.
It’s about make Nvidia richer.
The industry in this age is pretty sh*t, for sh*t head. Nonthing left to say.
Half-Life (1998), Crysis, Mirror’s Edge, DOOM (2016), Dante’s Inferno, DmC, Devil May Cry, TitanFall 2. The Art of this games are pretty Insane just to say.
Its just a meme at this point. Original was actually way ahead of its time in so many ways, those requirements fit the tech on display.
I can put 8k textures and ray tracing in Skyrim right now, then run it at 4k with ENB and get 20fps, doesnt make it a next gen experience. Dont get me wrong, it is kinda cool to see this but its also kinda distasteful to see the company who built the original just take their old game and throw a bunch of modern post process effects in there then resell it.
Its new fashion. In next 10 years we will retrace/remake every game ever for witch there are exist people who would buy it, until there are no games left to remake/retrace
Well said!
Still going with the 3080 is only 30% faster than 2080Ti i see. Even though it was 43% faster in horizon for example, AIB boards will be better cooled and higher clocked, drivers will mature in the coming months, and next gen games are yet to come out and take advantage of it.
Some of the reviews are kind of sad tho ;/ 1 fps or 2 at most. Cooling seems a tiny bit better but not by a lot. This is the first time i’m not sure if its worth buying them for extra 50-100 over the base FE model. Usually FE’s are crap, but not this time.
You can’t buy them at all. It’s all a joke.
Wrong.
2080 -> 3080
2080Ti -> 3090
I am pretty sure they said even the 3070 was better than the 2080ti or at least on par with it.
Yep.
Marketing how awfully optimized your game is surely won’t go well for crytek.
Basically we are back to 2007 but this time the visuals does not warrant such abysmal performances.
My old radeon 1650pro was running Crysis 1 on minimum on 30-40 fps
pretty sure hes g4y too. his “wife and kids” are just a front” that or hes a raging bi- who prioritizes the shlong above the gash all the time.
He really seems to like the color pink.
Ohhh wow so impressive, I mean what ? Am I suppose to be impressed or not ? why ? so many questions ? Crytech took the money from epic I mean it just shows everything else you need to know about them they dont care
the “Can it Run Crysis ?” B.S preset.

Yikes

Grow up mate, its 2020
Didn’t your mum tell you if you haven’t got anything good to say, don’t say anything at all.
It’s the “current year”
It does not even look “that” good to me. It’s nothing like the Original Crysis was back at its time which was simply breathtaking
To be honest, this actually isn’t that bad given that there is no DLSS. That usually adds a massive performance boost. Raw Raytracing (without hardware optimizations) at native 4k is incredibly straining on a GPU.
I wonder if Saber Interactive utilized the new concurrency of the RT Cores + Tensor Cores + SM in their RTX implementation. If they haven’t, there’s still a LOT of headroom for performance improvements.
You obviously not watched the video or just completely missed the point, rt cores are being used…
Can you read?
My point was about the concurrency, not the RT Cores themselves. Ampere allows for the work on the RT Cores to be done WHILE the tensor cores and SM are working.
That’s done automatically, there’s nothing for the programmers to do to enable this.
Source?
Programmers (especially with Vulkan/DX12) have extremely explicit access to the GPU. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had to manually use some form a job system to push tasks onto the respective components.

Unoptimalized SSHHIIITTTT
who needs 8x msaa at 4k wtf
Yeah its stupid and completely kills performance for nothing lol
Wait till you see 8x msaa at 8K 😀
8xSSAA at 8K, lmao.
Sounds like anti-aliasing right at my retina!
Linus was sitting 6 feet away from a 75in OLED display…ofcourse he needs it!
Who needs MSAA at all, i hardly use any even with only 1440p display
No one does.
I saw a video about two guys trying to determine which screen looked better between a 4K and an 8K TV without being told one screen was 4K and the other 8K. They could not see a difference and even thought the 4K TV looked better.
Nobody will see a difference between 4K and 8K below 70 inch… This is all aboute marketing BS…
Yeah theses FPS are definitely due to bad optimization and/or engine design. Look at Flight Sim at how much more real it looks and the insane details, volumetric clouds, lighting, weather effects and so on, yet it runs much better. Even in Flight Sim when you’re close to the ground or close to anything, it still looks better than this. You can also compare against Doom 2016/Eternal, which looks WAY better, more detailed everything yet runs surprisingly fast.
Of course, it’s no surprise that Cry Engine is a dog. It’s always been that way.
Crytek at this point is trying to create hype through controversy…showing that the 30 series is struggling with 60FPS and brining RT to current gen. Wait till the game is out and a modder changes a few values in the .ini file and reveals this truth behind all this marketing bull.
I will never forgive Crytek for what did with Crysis 2 and 3. EAT S*IT CRYTEK.
Sounds like a terribly optimized game. There is no reason that game should run like that. It’s almost like it is purposely programmed badly just to keep that crysis meme going. I call Bulls#### to this game actually being demanding.
The point of that preset is that there is no optimization at all. It loads ALL LoDs at all times at their maximum quality regardless of distance to camera. That completely kills CPU and GPU with draw call load. It is there more as a joke and meme than real setting really.
hey, no pop in at least.
His “Very cute babies” look nothing like him.
It’s a cope mechanism. What can he say?
conclusive proof that CryEngine has turned into a dead end. the techniques they are pushing are NOT the future. you can have graphics like this with twice the framerate, easily, just not in CryEngine. the average next-gen Ubisoft game will look better and run better on the consoles than Crysis Remastered does on a 3080. it’s not even open world.
Dead end? The CryEngine has always pushed computer graphics forward, imbecile.
That aberrant blue water and sky, those fake water reflections, oh my god what have they made? Crytek at least offer the option to have the original colors. This is ridiculous, color compression optimization? Ok, allow us to disable it. How the hell you guys fck this up so badly? Not even gonna touch it! This is insulting to every top nerd expert that has Crysis in their hearts. If that fcker of Alex Battaglia praise this piece of shat you already know he is sponsored b*tch
uh crytek. better off selling your cry engine to company that can really push the engine forward and increase it’s adoption.
Noob question: What’s the name of that keyboard and mouse mini table from the dude in the video?

Thanks man! I think I might buy one of those! : )
With the ridiculous RTX 3090 and DLSS 2.0, Crysis Remastered should be playable…of course NOT with 8x MSAA.
The guy goes from “high”(there’s also a very high setting) to “Can it run Crysis” on the video and there’s no f*king difference (other than tanking the FPS).
This is a joke to them.
4k diminishing returns, its why Nvidia came up with DLSS. If the game supported DLSS youd be looking at 70-120 fps at 4k. The benchmarks for Control were similar results in performance fwith no DLSS.

Educate yourselves on what genetic diversity means
Clue: it have nothing to do with “wokes” or sjw’s.
Wow… this really is the dark side of gaming.
The max setting barely looks any better than high setting, yet the fps drop heavy
Solution for this is just not to play it on max setting
At least have the decency of swithing to a proper engine for a remake…..
You know, the Crisis running joke is just that. A joke. A ‘remastered’ joke is not gonna sell well.
