Crysis Demo Publicly Available Later Today

Anyone who has been unsuccessful in getting the Crysis demo using FilePlanet should be glad to hear that the demo will be publicly available to everyone in just over 12 hours (12 hours and 47 minutes as I write this). An in-official site which is counting down to the launch can be found here, although the servers will probably struggle to cope with demand at first given that Crysis is one of the most anticipated games so far this year, so it may be worth waiting for a few external sites to start hosting the demo. Anyone who has already ordered Crysis via EA should be able to download the demo already via EA's downloader.

Update: Unfortunately EA has decided to delay the public release by an extra day, so it's now going to be released tomorrow. Sorry for the disappointment, from a quick look it seems the delay could be linked to issues with the 24 hour exclusive for customers purchasing Crysis via the EA Store.

If anyone wants to bump their GPU up but cannot with Riva, check out the link at the end of this thread page by me:

Looks to be working, only problem is you can't push your Memory clock over 950(1900). Hmm.....

I knew I shoulda played it first with 163 drivers!

It was actually good : o I though the nanosuit was even ok and I've hated it from what I've seen in videos, but I got my ass kicked couple times in normal already =) Found settings that gave good constant 25-43 framerate for me.

I was really surprised at how well it ran, running an 8800gts and e6550 and it didn't seem to go below 30 hardly ever

given that it was a slide show on my amd 3200 and 7800gs I was prepared to only be able to go to medium with my 8800 but it held its own at high.

320 or 640mb version and resolution? Would be nice to hear how it runs on someone with 2900pro/xt.

Very High is Vista / DX10 only. Seems DX9 performance is there with plenty =)

Wasnt DX10 supposed to run a lot fast than DX9? Maybe someone running both XP and Vista could post a performance comparison on the demo? Would be very cool!

#139

OnBoard

Well what I've read the DX10 performance isn't there. It does some things faster than DX9, but also adds new stuff (SM4) and byebye goes the performance :) This is from another forum:

"8800GTX only runs DX10 @ 15fps (and DX9 in 25-30)"

DEFEATEST

I was getting 17-30ish fps on max 1024x768 no aa
x1950xt 256
x2 4600
2gig ddr2 800
funny though, when I turn aa on at all I get crazy neon screen. Drivers I guess?
the game does look incredible in some spots though!

From my experince and from reading here forums.tweakguides.com/showthread.php?p=75394#post75394, the only time DX10 makes a performance impact is when you put your settings on very high, but lets say you have DX10 and DX9 both on all high settings then their is really no performance diffrence and they both look the same.
