Note: For consistency, we looked at benchmarks with high settings, as Crysis 1 does not have any presets. Please remember that you can get much better framerates if you turn down the settings to medium or low. You can see a comparison between GPUs in our Graphics Card Comparison page.
Using high graphical settings, these tiers cannot play Crysis at any resolution. Even at 1024x768, you are going to get something like 15 FPS. If you are going to be playing Crysis, you will need a better PC, or you will be turning your settings down to low. With low settings, you might be able to get frame rates in the 20s or 30s, depending on your resolution. Crysis is still a demanding game, and this tier does not cut it.
With a dedicated graphics card, your graphical power is much higher. With high settings, you can expect a frame rate in the upper 20s or lower 30s at lower resolutions. If you increase the resolution to 1080p while keeping the settings high, your FPS will dip below 20. To play Crysis enjoyably, you need something more powerful than this tier.
You can get borderline ~20 FPS on 1080p, or a playable ~35 FPS if the resolution is lower. This tier is still not good enough for Crysis.
At 1080p, you can get frame rate in the upper 20s, or in the lower 40s if you drop the resolution. Almost good enough, but not ideal.
The cheapest tier than can reasonably give you playable framerates in the lower 30’s at 1680x1050. We still recommend that you go for something that will at least give you smooth gameplay, and this tier is not it. - See more at: http://www.logicalincrements.com/games/crysis/#sthash.dzqfZsFp.dpuf
You can expect a playable 35 FPS at 1080p, and a frame rate in the 40s to 50s at 1600x900.
These are the first tiers that can play at a smooth 50 FPS at 1080p. If you want an enjoyable Crysis experience, then these are the tiers that you want to buy. If you crank up the resolution to 1440p, the frame rates dips to around 30 FPS.
This tier can give you a very smooth 60 FPS at 1080p.
Expect 60+ FPS at 1080p. Very playable rates at 1440p.
60+ FPS at 1440p. Smooth rates at 4K.
Very smooth frame rates at 1440p. Smooth rates at 4K.
Very Smooth rates at 4K.
Silky Smooth at 4K. What more could you ask for?!
