Crysis 2 – DX9 vs DX11 – 6990 vs GTX590

Water obviously looks stunning in motion and is one of the highlights of modern gaming, but even in a static shot there is a reality to it that’s worthy of praise.

      

The level of detail is a far cry (ha) from the early gaming efforts. It’s very easy to become complacent as games become more and more realistic, but as Crytek have proven with this upgrade to Crysis 2, we can still be surprised.

      

Even we aren’t perfect all the time.
