Crysis 1.2	Source: Electronic Arts

Crysis is a science fiction first-person shooter developed by Crytek. Crysis uses Microsoft's new API, DirectX 10 for graphics rendering, and includes the new engine—the CryEngine 2—that is the successor to Far Cry's CryEngine. CryEngine 2 is among the first engines to use the DirectX 10 framework of Windows Vista, but can also run using DirectX 9, both on Vista and Windows XP.

Higher results are better.

Crysis doesn't make much use of extra cores, and tends to favor Intel processors over AMD, so the scores of the AMD Phenom II X3 720 Black Edition are at the bottom of the pack here.
