Crysis 3

Homepage: crysis.com/crysis-3 | Publisher: Electronic Arts | Developer: Crytek

Crysis 3 is a beautiful-looking game that continues to tax high-end systems. We've benchmarked a 60-second section near the start of the game, with lashing rain, numerous reflections and full DX11 pomp on show. 4xMSAA is enabled at 1080p and disabled at 4K.

Crysis 3 also puts the factory overclocked GTX 980s practically on par - all three are up to 10 per cent quicker than reference.

But can an overclocked GTX 980 really play Crysis 3? Not at 4K it can't. Even with AA disabled, MSI's card is unable to deliver an average of 30 frames per second.
