Important Notice<\/span> <\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
<\/strong>\u00a0<\/div>\n
<\/strong>This article was originally written in August 2008. Thanks to apoppin<\/span> for Vista testing and commentary.<\/div>\n

Introduction<\/span> <\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Crysis is undoubtedly one of the most demanding games on the market and one could certainly argue that no configuration currently exists that can run it well, not even the fastest quad GPU configurations. In this article we will examine the game\u2019s various image quality settings and evaluate them both in terms of performance and image quality impact. We will test XP and Vista, and also test both ATi Radeon 4870 and nVidia GeForce 8800 Ultra GPUs.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Note that while basic image quality and performance comparisons will invariably happen between OSes and\/or GPU vendors, the intention of this article is not<\/span> to make such a comparison. The primary intention of this article is only to evaluate performance and image quality relative to the game itself<\/span>, and to provide two different sets of comparisons by using two different platforms and OSes.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
