ButcanitrunCrysis?

Hardware has for now outstripped the

software it runs...

C

rysis defined a generation of PC hardware, simply because that game

was designed to be more or less unplayable at its prettiest settings

without hardware first catching up. Which, of course, it did. Pretty much

anything can play Crysis these days.

In fact, there’s very few games that draw upon all the power of modern

hardware. Nvidia’s new RTX cards sure are beasts, but there’s only a

handful of modern titles that have been developed with features like

raytraced lighting in mind.

This industry is built on swings and roundabouts, however, so it’s only a

matter of time until some new game engine comes along that sets us all

back on our heels. Until then...
