Because that's the reason he did it. :-)

If the blue border around the solid color at

Ummm, Crysis came out in '07 I think and my GTX280 can play it in 1080p on 
my LCD TV with every graphics option switched on full and it plays fine.

There are a lot of cards that can take Crysis these days, its certainly no 
where near the power hog it used to be with respect to the current crop of 
hardware.

Cheers Dre
