or the other amd chips for that matter.....

At its default clock frequency of 3.50GHz, the Core i7-3770K drove the GTX 680 to a silky smooth 64fps, but if you wanted to overclock, 4.0GHz yields 8% more frames and 4.50GHz nets a 17% increase for a total of 75fps.

We saw similar trends with the FX-8350, but since the chip already comes clocked at 4.0GHz, it doesn't leave as much headroom. Still, we managed to increase the average frame rate by 10% from 61fps to 67fps.

WTF? lol what I see is with the same overclock of 1ghz there is a good chance the FX8350 would perform better...I wonder if a certain review site was trying to show a certain brand performing better :laugh:

Hey guys, I'm trying to play crysis 3 with 60fps steady... any tips to which tweaks should be done?

I've read a few things about the autoexec.cfg and and I'm not sure which settings are "taxing" my system the most. Look @ system specs and you'll see I have a pretty decent rig...

Feel free to shoot me a link if you don't feel like re-explaining the tweaks ;)

Supposedly there's a DX10 workaround for it now,
It merely involves editing the game's DX library, so it doesn't even touch your system DX files. I'm not sure why the game's installer would even allow it to install on a system with a non DX11 card, but some have already said the hack works.

Crysis 3 DX10 Hack - YouTube

It comes with two tradeoffs, one being minor. Obviously you can't enable advanced tesselation, which is never an option on DX9 or 10 anyway, but the real drawback is you can't enable ANY ambient occlusion lighting at all, becasue Crysis 3 is only equipped with the DX11 kind.

Monitor your GPU usage per card while playing. MSI Afterburner can do it. If it's low on both cards or high one and low on the other, you may be having CPU to GPU latency issues. The app Timer Resolution mentioned earlier can hlep with this.

Ok I fixed it... (by the way I cannot see my GPU usage cause I use the K-BOOST feature from Precision x)

I usually set my 2nd card to be the dedicated physx card (cause it tends to be the cooler card)... I put it BACK TO "auto-select" and my FPS doubled in crysis 3... !?

dunno what happened

Pffft, no wonder, that makes your prior statement claiming you were running SLI inaccurate, because both cards need to be setup for graphics rendering to run SLI. Using one for PhysX nullifies that. Besides, high end current gen Nvidia cards can do PhysX AND rendering, there's no reason to use one just for PhysX.

That said, personally I would never use an app that doesn't let you monitor GPU usage. You may be able to run GPU-Z alongside it and get a rough idea, but it won't show onscreen while the game is playing like Afterburner can.

I'm having an odd problem where my first gpu is topping out at 90% usage and I've lost 5fps. No setting or driver has changed. And no the timer thing doesn't help, it wouldn't anyway since this is a recent problem. I tried reinstalling the game, I guess I'll have to cleanout and redo the driver next. Only seems to effect Crysis 3 though.

Well I was hoping that the latest Beta driver would allow me to utilize two GPU's as I was able to before they patched the game a couple days ago.
Here is what I saw last night while playing as far as GPU utilization:

I will definitely say Crysis 3 on nearly every level is better then Crysis 2. Graphics, Story, Gameplay, all of it.

I am maxing it out with SMAA i think I chose at high everything else on VERY HIGH at 1920 x 1200, getting i think around 40fps(Havent checked) but runs very smooth, and with my 680 on water, never gets higher then 45c temps.

Anyone trying to get AA to work on the grass, you need to enable Antialiasing - Transparency in your Nvidia Control Panel im pretty sure.

EDIT: @HammerON

Ill get some real FPS numbers for you guys tomorrow night. The Stalkers are annoying, especially when your out in the tall grass, I want to be ontop of the broken train cars so I can see shit lol.

Oh trust me, there are places you can be where they just rummage around below you acting stupid or scared. The physics of the terrain and bushes is odd too. There are many places I've gotten stuck, and with no checkpoint reload, you have to quit then resume, annoying.

There's lots of bushes that are like big rocks, you can't pass through them and when you get on top of them they are solid. Got stuck in the opening at the end of one of those wrecked train cars where a bush was covering the bottom half of it.

Bad enough the gameplay is so linear, but the terrain makes it even more so. There's also a lot of places you can't platform onto, despite being no higher than those you can.

I miss the old CryTek stuff. In Far Cry 1 you could really roam without invisible walls, and even when you got to a good snipe spot that way, the enemies would still react well if you went loud.

They should remake the original Crysis with the new engine for PC. Maybe have a few adjustments to perfect the original as it was the by far the best out of them all. Along the way including new weapons or making maps bigger etc.

That appears to have worked with MSAA. I don't think it functions with the other AA options (my fps stayed the same.) Nuked performance with 8x msaa + 8x ss. I'd need Titan quad SLI to run like that.

Downloaded the file. It appears to have a password to it.
And nowhere is it told that it would be password protected.. Great.

EDIT: I'll buy a new graphics card anyway, I want to play it..

Can't believe how hard it is to achieve a solid 60fps in crysis 3 with everything maxed out with my current specs... I'm still tryin to figure out if it's just the game eating my GPUs alive or if it's badly optimized...

I mean, shouldn't I be able to play this maxed with 2x670 directcu ii 2gb ?

For the others out here tryin to get a fluid 60 fps in this game, here are my findings up to now:
The 2 most TAXING settings are the AA and the Shadows. Especially if you put TXAA on. After these 2, you'll want to consider lowering "particles" and "post-processing" as they are the two other most Taxing settings...

The more I play this game, the more I see that something in the optimization is wrong.

He did tell you to use 7Zip if prompted. :wtf:
^^^, and when I tested it that way, I got it to unzip. It's worth a shot, at least until you can get a DX11 card. A neighbor of mine will be trying it on his 9800GT sys as soon as he clears enough HDD space. I'll report back on how well it works.

@jonathan,
Are you checking your GPU usage? Some have reported low usage on each card or low on one and high on another. Timer Resolution can improve CPU to GPU latency and help raise GPU usage in such cases.

Here is what I saw last night while playing as far as GPU utilization

Not understanding that. I'm getting 99% on both gpu's. Occasionally one gpu doesn't work but if I alt-tab (had to do that in the past with 2 5850's playing L4D) it brings the second one on straight away.

I'm using 13.2 beta 6 and Origin plus Crysis 3 both patched and up to date.

Honestly, I don't mind that Crysis 3 is linear, the last FPS ive played that wasn't linear was Far Cry 3. With an FPS i come to expect it to be linear to be honest, kind of what the FPS genre has been known for lately.

One thing wish, was that there wasn't so many invisible walls though for Crysis. there are so many perfect areas to go to get around the enemy all stealthy.

One thing wish, was that there wasn't so many invisible walls though for Crysis. there are so many perfect areas to go to get around the enemy all stealthy.

That's actually what I was referring to more than linear objective gameplay. There's a lot of maps that have the appearance at first of having many possible routes and vantage points to use, only to find they are littered with invisible walls, terrain you can get stuck in, etc.

If you try and play it with any freedom of roaming, it quickly becomes a very clumsy, restrictive feeling game. They may as well just highlight a pathway on the ground and tell you it has to be followed diligently.

This fixes the shitty slow motion grass. Add it to an autoexec.

e_MergedMeshesInstanceDist = 100

After setting it load a save then leave and close the game. For some reason this setting doesn't work right the first time you enter the game with it. You could probably get away with a lower setting (20-50) if you're not picky. Hits the cpu more. That timer app finally does something for me with this.


WTF? lol what I see is with the same overclock of 1ghz there is a good chance the FX8350 would perform better...I wonder if a certain review site was trying to show a certain brand performing better

Trying too hard to find a problem. You can throw an ivy to 5 ghz too.
