Magnificent on the right PC.
Apparently this game will not work well on some Windows 10 machines so I decided to play it on a later generation Windows 7 PC equipped with an i7-970 6 core CPU, 24GB RAM, 1TB SSD and upgraded with an RTX 2060 GPU. Windows 10 will not install on most X58 chipset PCs anyways. GOG allows you to download a DRM free version of the game and install it on many older systems. Crysis is one of those games which happens to benefit the most from this functionality. It was just the right mix of "not too old, not too recent and powerful enough" combination of hardware and OS to get fantastic results. PCs of that era (2011-2016) can now be purchased used for pennies these days. The game will play at more than 60 fps with all the audio and graphics settings set to maximum quality. A far better experience than when I first played the game back in 2008. If you can then do show this amazing game to younger PC gamers so they can see with their own eyes how Crysis altered the PC market when it came out and why for nearly 3 years all computer dealers were being asked all day long "but can it run Crysis ?" !! IMHO, the original version is better than the remastered one because the physics are far more realistic and the graphics are not so dated when you can use the highest possible settings. Play at 1080p for the best experience. Lower resolutions will provide less quality and higher resolutions aren't well supported.
