"And it probably even runs Crysis."
Woah, only one more year and this reference will be old enough to vote.
- mensetmanusman 3y agoI laughed at that as well. Kids these days won't understand the quote!
- sssilver 3y agoI’m tragically far from being a kid and I didn’t understand the reference. Would anyone be kind enough to explain?

- sundvor 3y agoPurely from memory: It took a few years for hardware to catch up the computer game Crysis when it was released, to make it run smoothly. Pushing the limits of existing hardware, it looked truly spectacular when it came out - and many would say it still does.
- tormeh 3y agoCrysis is single-threaded, so CPUs still struggle with it. When the game was programmed CPUs were really single-core, so this was normal.

- balls187 3y agoOthers explained it, has less to do with age, and more whether you are (were) a PC gamer. Crysis came out to huge fanfare due to it's impressive graphics. However even the highest end spec'd PC's had trouble running the game at a stable frame rate at high settings--iirc because the game's engine (cryengine?) was not well optimized. Crysis performance became a benchmark for PC's, and then the joke phrase "But can it run Crysis" started, used seriously when discussing PC hardward specs, and jokingly used for unrelated hardware "This printer has 24bit color?" "But can it run Crysis?"
- MeImCounting 3y agoI think kids these days definitely will understand this ancient and cliche joke. Its not like its some unkown twencen joke it gets said everytime nvidia comes out with the newest gaming behemoth cards
