Crysis Investigation

Conclusion

Crysis is quite a demanding title but it also offers plenty of configuration options to make the game more playable, although what settings you choose to change will ultimately depend on your personal tastes.

Also, we have barely scratched the surface. For example, setting the shader quality to high in the menu actually controls a large number of configuration commands behind the scenes, so finer grained control is possible by tweaking each of those settings individually through the console, command line and/or config files.

In a similar manner it is also possible to get very high settings running on XP and looking more or less the same as they do on Vista. Such tweaking is beyond the scope of this article but may be covered in future installments.  Still, we hope that our coverage has at least given you the basics of how to configure Crysis to run better on your PC.
