1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,480
when crisis launched in 2007 it brought every gaming pc in the world to its

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:11,440
knees to the point where even 10 years later we're asking ourselves when some

3
00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:14,639
fancy new graphics card launches like the rtx 3080

4
00:00:13,519 --> 00:00:19,520
but can it even run crisis and the answer

5
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:23,039
these days is a resounding yes because that was

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:27,519
13 years ago or is it

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:29,199
because on this test bench i have an

8
00:00:27,519 --> 00:00:35,120
advanced copy of crisis remastered yes my friends

9
00:00:32,719 --> 00:00:41,280
we're going to be having a look on both the rtx titan and NVIDIA's newest

10
00:00:38,239 --> 00:00:44,399
flagship at how the original crisis

11
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:48,160
and the all-new crisis designed to crush

12
00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:50,239
even the newest computers we'll look

13
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:54,800
and run and this video is brought to you by

14
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:58,879
origin pc makers of gaming pcs that quite possibly will be able to run both

15
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,440
the old crisis and the latest crisis i don't know what my talking points are it

16
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:07,159
doesn't really matter the point is origin pc fast pcs they're linked in the

17
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:07,159
video description

18
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:21,600
naturally to properly enjoy crisis and its gorgeous cinematic beauty and

19
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:25,400
likely cinematic frame rate i'm going to need the most cinematic setup in my

20
00:01:23,439 --> 00:01:32,000
house my 77-inch lg g10 OLED tv and something i'm

21
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:37,119
really excited about is by the end of this video i will have

22
00:01:33,759 --> 00:01:40,960
tried for the first time 4k 120 hertz

23
00:01:37,119 --> 00:01:43,360
using HDMI 2.1 the rtx titan doesn't do

24
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:48,159
it but the new 3080 does wow so you have this absolutely crank

25
00:01:45,439 --> 00:01:48,159
day nicholas

26
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:56,240
very high all the things 8x anti-aliasing

27
00:01:54,159 --> 00:02:00,960
remember when that crashed i do remember when that crushed graphics

28
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:06,719
cards all right so low to game recovery yeah all right let's do it you know

29
00:02:04,799 --> 00:02:11,200
i feel like i'm supposed to say yeah this looks so crap now

30
00:02:08,640 --> 00:02:15,520
but even without modding this game still looks like

31
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:21,520
pretty decent you got that depth of field effect the

32
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:25,040
facial animations and detail are like

33
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:27,120
not bad now those flat rocks

34
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:30,879
those flat rocks tessellation is definitely a thing now these rocks

35
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:35,840
should look better for those who weren't around at the time crisis was built

36
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:37,760
using cryengine 2 which was an expansion

37
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:43,519
on the already excellent foundation that crytek built for far cry cryengine one

38
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:47,200
it was the first directx 10 compatible game and it was so technologically

39
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:51,920
advanced at the time that NVIDIA ended up using dino island which was built

40
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:58,400
using cryengine as one of their official benchmarks the game had over a million

41
00:02:54,959 --> 00:03:00,319
lines of code shipped with a Gigabyte of

42
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:04,239
texture data and came with a level auditor called sandbox that actually

43
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:08,800
allowed you to make changes to your level just jump in at any time play test

44
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:13,280
it and then jump back out and make more changes i was about to say you know

45
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:17,680
what's really crazy is how much video memory we're sucking back

46
00:03:14,959 --> 00:03:23,680
four gigs i mean when this game came out graphics cards had what like

47
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:26,720
256 megs 512 megs of RAM we're only

48
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:28,720
getting like 75 frames per second

49
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:32,879
clearly there was some optimization work to be done over the last uh 13 years

50
00:03:30,959 --> 00:03:37,760
here this is another thing that really blew me away at the time is how much

51
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:41,760
unique foliage there was rather than just like kind of

52
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:47,680
pictures of leaves on the ground this grass looks so good

53
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:50,159
like just how kind of like i don't know

54
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:54,080
how varied it is like some of it's green some of it's brown it kind of sticks up

55
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:58,879
at all different angles it doesn't look really uniform like you get really close

56
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:02,400
and you're like oh yeah okay it's like kind of 2d but you get even like this

57
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:06,159
distance away from it you're like oh yeah that's grass while there are a lot of things that

58
00:04:04,879 --> 00:04:10,159
still look good the water i'd say is something we've

59
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:15,200
gotten a lot better at over the years obviously we're playing on an absolute

60
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:21,600
monster of a system right now but a more typical rig at the time would have been

61
00:04:16,959 --> 00:04:26,320
something like a core 2 quad 6700 with a

62
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:28,400
you know 8800 gt graphics card and like

63
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:31,600
two gigs of RAM to put that in perspective

64
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:36,560
graphics cards at the time were lucky to come with 512 megs of onboard memory

65
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:40,560
running the game at 4k and we actually had to turn off anti-aliasing in order

66
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:45,440
to get the game a little bit more stable we're using three and a half gigs of

67
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:50,639
video RAM it's no wonder that it took years for any system to be worthy it was

68
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:53,919
actually fun like i had a blast playing this game and crisis remastered is one

69
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:58,560
of the few sort of remastered games that i'm

70
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:03,600
looking at going like yeah i want to play through this whole darn thing again

71
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:07,600
because this game was a blast the nano suit game mechanic was a lot of fun

72
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:10,400
sneaking around behind enemies so they like couldn't see you

73
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:15,120
popping up behind them giving them wedgies that sort of thing

74
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:20,960
just pure fun okay it looks proper now this looks this looks way better

75
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:26,720
like immediately the texture on this rock like it looks like a rock

76
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:29,120
not like uh well you know not a rock

77
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:32,320
that effect is way cooler now hey the rocks are still flat come on you

78
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:37,639
guys those are flat rocks these textures look

79
00:05:35,199 --> 00:05:43,280
a lot better though we're getting like 45 FPS

80
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:45,759
and this is only on high

81
00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:51,039
the lighting looks way way more natural

82
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:54,880
like they've obviously got some kind of global illumination i don't think this

83
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:58,639
is real time retracing though it is they use hardware and software

84
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:06,000
really retracing it's built into the engine you don't

85
00:06:02,639 --> 00:06:09,759
need rt cores though oh fascinating

86
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:13,680
where's my god raise that though oh

87
00:06:09,759 --> 00:06:13,680
okay that's a little much

88
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:21,520
that's not god raised that's like god himself

89
00:06:19,039 --> 00:06:28,080
looking down on me here hey hey how are you doing son performance is a little

90
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:31,520
a little hitchy there it is there's a little there's a

91
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:37,440
little hitchy hitch right there we're managing

92
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:38,800
60 FPS though yeah 55c

93
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:45,280
wow that looks better i wonder how much they ended up reusing

94
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:50,400
versus redoing they've reused a lot of stuff yeah like i'm pretty sure that

95
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:52,880
bullet splash effect is reused most of

96
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:58,160
the geometry is the same as well this texture is obviously updated

97
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:03,440
that looks way better oh let's uh let's shoot a tree

98
00:07:00,479 --> 00:07:06,720
that physics looks repurposed to be clear

99
00:07:04,479 --> 00:07:09,199
it's not terrible it's probably still better than what you'll see in some

100
00:07:07,919 --> 00:07:15,199
other games like even modern ones this mountain was

101
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:18,720
just like a blob before

102
00:07:15,199 --> 00:07:19,759
the draw distance is way

103
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:26,080
better like these islands out here look all like detailed and stuff that's pretty

104
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:30,080
cool you can tell we're working with an early build of the remaster game though

105
00:07:28,319 --> 00:07:33,759
just with the little bits of like hitching that we're seeing what i'm a

106
00:07:31,919 --> 00:07:37,440
little worried about though is if this is high

107
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:40,919
what happens if we put it in can it run crisis mode

108
00:07:44,319 --> 00:07:49,680
okay here we go back in game restart checkpoint here we

109
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,000
go whoa

110
00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:57,280
that is some wow that is some slideshow

111
00:07:55,599 --> 00:08:01,199
right there boys the the muzzle flash is not even

112
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:05,199
attached to the muzzle anymore who needs it

113
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:12,440
oh i don't have a lot of FPS right now uh okay maximum we need more strength

114
00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,440
oh there's a missile launcher hello

115
00:08:13,039 --> 00:08:15,840
see you later

116
00:08:16,879 --> 00:08:22,800
wow so what is this 22 FPS right now

117
00:08:20,639 --> 00:08:29,120
22 FPS and this is on an rtx titan we are to be

118
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:33,599
fair that's true we are also recording on our

119
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:38,640
poor rtx titan can we uh should we upgrade to the 3080 now yeah i think

120
00:08:35,919 --> 00:08:43,680
it's time 32 FPS i think rtx 3080 can run crisis

121
00:08:41,919 --> 00:08:46,720
i mean it it's a little glitchy

122
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:56,080
i wouldn't describe it as a perfect experience hilariously enough the like

123
00:08:52,279 --> 00:08:58,000
25 if FPS that we're getting that's

124
00:08:56,080 --> 00:09:01,519
actually very similar to the frame rate of the original crisis when it was

125
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:04,080
released on console neat huh

126
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:11,040
hi see you later

127
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:16,560
see you later oh just raw fun i love it

128
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:19,440
of course all that new technology they baked in the game doesn't come without a

129
00:09:18,399 --> 00:09:26,240
cost so they added up to 8k textures

130
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,519
screen space reflections screen space

131
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:32,080
shadows global illumination temporal

132
00:09:29,519 --> 00:09:37,839
anti-aliasing screen space directional occlusion depth of field new light

133
00:09:34,399 --> 00:09:40,640
settings and HDR support so what i want

134
00:09:37,839 --> 00:09:45,920
to try next is turning it to settings that aren't completely stupid

135
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:51,200
and then enabling HDR and seeing if we can actually enjoy the game

136
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:55,200
HDR time boys oh boy

137
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:59,440
well that's a crying shame

138
00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:04,880
remember of course this is an earlier build of the game uh this is not quite

139
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:08,399
release software like some stuff looks fine

140
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,440
but then anywhere the sun's hitting it's like oh

141
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:14,959
maybe that was their intent but it doesn't come across very good and this

142
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:19,279
whole blue thing they've got going on with distant stuff

143
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:22,640
it that does not work uh brightness i don't know what if we

144
00:10:21,279 --> 00:10:26,800
turn the brightness down well here let's see what we did so far

145
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,600
whoa okay i don't know how much of this to blame

146
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:34,240
on rtx 3080 not having like a game ready

147
00:10:32,079 --> 00:10:38,000
driver yet and how much of this to blame on this game not being completely

148
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:43,360
finished yet all that's left for now then is to talk about the upcoming dlss

149
00:10:40,959 --> 00:10:48,399
patch so hopefully we'll actually be able to run it 4k or even greater

150
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:52,079
resolutions without glitching as well as the upcoming benchmark mode that will

151
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:57,120
allow you to use can it run crisis

152
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:59,360
as a benchmark for realsies with all

153
00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:03,920
kinds of uh additional analytics and tools built into the benchmarks so we

154
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:08,720
are around here anyway jazz because it gives us something to test not just rtx

155
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:12,480
3000 but even future generations of graphics cards on

156
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:16,160
as long as the glitchiness gets a little bit better oh come on and the ai

157
00:11:14,399 --> 00:11:18,959
chills out with the grenades that wasn't even a grenade that was just me not

158
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:23,680
being very good at this what's in your online security toolkit

159
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:28,320
adding a vpn lets you mask your ip and encrypt traffic to and from your devices

160
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:32,560
private internet access has reliable service with over 3 000 servers in more

161
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:37,200
than 30 countries they've got no bandwidth caps and their encryption is

162
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:40,320
configurable keeping you in control of your connection

163
00:11:38,480 --> 00:11:45,200
when combined with private browsing best practices a vpn can even make websites

164
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:48,880
think that you're in a different country try pia risk-free with their 30-day

165
00:11:47,279 --> 00:11:54,000
money-back guarantee you can connect up to 10 devices at once with clients for

166
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:57,920
Windows macOS Android iOS and Linux we're going to have it linked down below
