says Crytek CEO. Crytek is famous for its beautiful yet demanding graphics engine. When Crysis 3 was announced, Crytek CEO Cevat Yerli, declared that the PC version would melt down PCs due to its thirst for powerful hardware. Thus the latest version of the Crysis game series is often used as a benchmark for graphics cards on various hardware reviews sites including here on HEXUS. In a recent interview with Xbox 360 Magazine the Crytek boss explained that the firms focus on graphics was because * +

amazing graphics drive immersion and even went as far as saying that making things look spectacular is 60 per cent of the game. The Crytek CEO was very forthright in his assertion that graphics are of paramount importance to modern games People say that graphics dont matter, but play Crysis and tell me they dont matter.
