It was much more of a meme than an actual bar that people were competing for. No one said "Can it run Crysis at max settings?". It was pretty much "Can it run Crysis?". My shitty ass computer could run Crysis just fine. Hell a lot of youtubers who run benchmarks still use CS-GO as a benchmark.

CS:GO is a great benchmark because there is a lot of data on it and it is largely CPU-bound so it works great to test CPUs or CPU/GPU scaling.
