Crysis 3 hacked to run at 8K, gives us a beautiful glimpse of gaming in the future
2014-05-05 19:04:01| Extremetech
You know how your computer struggles to run Crysis 3 at 1920x1080 at very high detail? And you know how beautiful it looks, even at that humdrum resolution? Well, now an enthusiast called K-putt has used a hacked Crysis 3 executable to run the game at 8K -- and I'm not being hyperbolic when I say that the resultant screenshots are probably the most beautiful examples of real-time computer-generated graphics that I've ever seen. Crysis 3 at 8K looks so good that you could be mistaken for thinking that these screenshots are hand-drawn concept art -- but in fact they're straight out of the engine. Don't get your hopes up for 8K gaming any time soon, though: K-putt has a pretty beefy gaming rig, and yet it could only muster 2 fps when running at 8K resolution.
