GAMERSPECS ESTIMATEOn a mid-range RTX 4060 or RX 7600, Crysis hits the processor limit of about 126 FPS at 1080p; a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 74 FPS, and a high-end RTX 4080 or RX 7900 XTX hits the processor limit of about 126 FPS.
Figures are at Very High: the settings of the measured benchmark Crysis's estimates are calibrated to.
Calibrated to GameGPU's measured test of 29 graphics cards (Very High, 8x AA).

Check My PC →What limits performance in Crysis
The graphics card, but only on older or budget hardware: any recent card holds 60 FPS at 1080p.
Graphics card (GPU)
Not a limit on most PCs
Even a budget GTX 1650 or RX 6500 XT averages about 74 FPS at 1080p.
Processor (CPU)
Limits above ~126 FPS
In GameGPU's testing on a Core i9-9900K, the fastest graphics cards all level off around 126 FPS at 1080p: the processor is the limit there. Newer processors can go higher, and a slower one sets it lower. Source: GameGPU
Video memory (VRAM)
256 MB (min. spec)
The minimum spec lists 256 MB of video memory, less than any current graphics card has, so it won't limit you.
Settings to lower first in Crysis
- 1Nothing, on a dedicated graphics card: even a budget card holds 60 FPS at 1080p.
- 2On integrated graphics, lower the resolution or render scale first. Intel Iris Xe averages about 33 FPS at 1080p.
- 3Above about 126 FPS, graphics settings stop helping: the processor is the limit there. Settings that add work for the processor, such as crowd density, are the ones to lower if Crysis has them.
