HardwareOC Crysis Benchmark 1.2 Released

If you're not familiar with the 3rd party Crysis Benchmark Tool, now may be the time to get 'into the know'. This application allows you to run the Crytek-created Crysis GPU and CPU Benchmarks at customized resolutions/settings without starting the Crysis.exe game file.

The new 1.2 update includes support for custom screen resolutions and a screenshot option.

Quote:
The guys at HardwareOC has updated their Crysis benchmarking application to version 1.2. The new release requires Crytek's game to be patched to either 1.2 or 1.2.1 and it offers:

- Change the resolution from 800×600 up to 2048×1536 (in 9 steps)
- HD WideScreen resolutions (1280×768, 1920×1080, 1920×1200) support
- Custom resolutions support
- VGA and CPU benchmark
- Four built-in demo
- Chart function
- Tweaked Very High graphic option
- Antialiasing and Anisotropic filtering support
- Multi GPU support
- Boost renderer settings
- Screenshot option

I tried it this weekend, and it definately seems pretty accurate.

How does it compare to ver 1.0? The GUI looks alot better on this version...way less clutter. I'll give it a shot tonight.

I'm not sure about that. Does the demo contain the normal CPU/GPU benchmark?

Are you sure? The normal benchmark is buried in the install directory - not available in game GUI.

C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis SP Demo\Bin32\Benchmark_GPU.bat

The Crysis Benchmark Tool might work with the demo. Not sure how accurate the results would be - the full game has a couple of HUGE patches aimed directly at GPU rendering.

Still worth a shot though.

If you're not running the benchmark tool talked about in this thread, it defaults to whatever you have it set to in game. So, you have to 1) start Crysis.exe, 2) set desired resolution and apply, 3) exit the game, 4) navigate to the .bat file and start the benchmark.
