I've heard from both sides that Crysis is well benched by the GTX280 but I've also heard the GTX280 is more optimized to crush Crysis than really anything else. But, who knows how future games will be programmed - Crysis is just one game out of numerous other games coming out with new engines that may blow it away and make it look like an anomaly

It might be the prettiest thing out there right now, but it's not necessarily indicative of how other games will fare in the near future
Are you going Shintai's way to predict the future? Truth is the most demanding graphics game nowadays IS Crysis, you have a benchmark tool to use it, so what's the point of downsizing Crysis? Because it may not be the future?

CE2 does use lots of nowadays 3D techniques, it is shader intensive aswell, so I really do not see why it shouldn't be the reference benchmark.
