Three top of the line graphics cards in SLI can’t run Crysis on full

So you probably thought that the announcement of being able to run three cards in SLI would mean a respectable frame rate when playing Crysis on maxed out graphics – think again. PC Games Hardware built a system containing three NVIDIA 8800 Ultras and it only managed to pump out a measly 37.9FPS. Thats over US$1800 worth of graphics cards and they only had 1X anti aliasing and anisotropic filtering on!

At this stage you may have several questions running through your mind: Is this game broken? How the hell did they even develop it? How many years until we have hardware that can run it at 60FPS? Could God create a game so system hoggy that not even he could play it? Probably not but Crytek have managed to.

Check after the jump for benchmark figures.

i can run the game on a mixture of high and very high settings and i only have a 2.2ghz prossesor and 256 nvida graphics card, so i dont know what u are complaining about because the game is amazing as it is.
