For smiles and giggles, would anyone here be bothered enough to run Crysis entirely on their modern day, $$$$ CPUs? 
Show us some numbers, graphs, wattage, temps!
I believe crysis was built to run on 10ghz CPU’s. Which is what Intel said they were going to have out at the time crysis was released. And so the game benefits a lot from ipc and single core frequency.
NetBurst – 10GHz
Onna more serious note- some dude did crank, a NetBurst-era Celeron, to break past 8Ghz
[*mind you, we’re talking about, a copiously aggressive cooling solution]
If that rig can maintain power and thermals-- would be a SWEET nostalgia run
… Maybe can also throw in STALKER:SoC too, since was hyper freq reliant
Seems like with Crysis being so easy to play on modern hardware that the new joke everyone will be switching to is “Can it run Borderlands 4?”

Well at 4k you still need a pretty high-end CPU. Or overclock it but.
I wonder if something like AMD EPYC™ 9965 doubles as a cheap GPU these days!
