Unfortunately, Crysis 1 is seriously single-thread bottlenecked. It was designed in anticipation of the "10 GHz Pentium 4" school of CPUs that never ended up existing, so it runs like trash even today with high-end hardware. The remaster does not fix this and actually is a step down in visuals in some respects, due to the ever popular "we remastered from a shitty port that never worked right in the first place". Halo also comes to mind, with the Halo PC version having completely broken shaders and much different weapons balance from the xbox version. In the case of crysis I believe it was the other way around, the game was remastered from the lower-fidelity Xbox version... so it actually is visually worse in some areas. https://gamerant.com/crysis-remastered-review/ https://gamerant.com/crysis-remastered-review/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_Az4-2o9AI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_Az4-2o9AI
