Crysis, is it still the hardest game on your system?

[KainXS]

ive never played fear is it as good as crysis graphicly? from promo screeny's it looks great but they always hype up and edit photo's for the media

if you mean fear then no way

if you mean fear 2 then no way

I still want to know what the hell was so funny?

Anyways, i am going to do some benchmarks at 1280x1024 , with anti -antialiasing x2, all medium settings, sound on low , in a few hours. I can run crysis with ease at those settings. adding aa doesn't decrease performance either.

The only settings which i have notice that decreases performance are " and texture and objects ".Textures causes stutter which they said in the tweak guide which is true. As in warhead, if i put shadows on mainstream i lose about 15fps, but in crysis i can put shadows on high without a problem. Or in warhead i put water on mainstream and its bad, but if i put water on high or medium in crysis, its not a problem. etc Adding AA in both games does not seem to affect performance at all. Nevertheless, i can't play either game below 1280x1024, i have to play at 1280x1024. Anything lower and the game becomes unplayable and very choppy.

Crysis isn't the hardest game on my system, I seem to have problems playing FEAR...can run Crysis at 1280x1024 at Medium with 6xAA and FEAR struggles at Medium...

I notice with fear engine games if you turn off some of those light effects, you can gain about 20fps. Also, you said fear struggles, what settings do you have it on?
Try playing fear at 1280x1024 max to medium settings with AAX2 and see how it goes.

lol

Right my rig.

All settings to high no AA = 15-18 fps whilst running around 10 fps give or take in a fire fight.

All settings to medium no AA = 25-30 fps 20 during fire fight.

Not to bad for a 35 pound graphics card.

Also have to say this game looks AMAZING the character models are amazing.

 

[ShadowFold]

How can you play it like that? I find 30fps to be almost unplayable, I need 40+.

 

[pantherx12]

Because you only notice the difference when your used to faster.

As I watch tv in pal ( 25 fps) this frame rate is fine and dandy for me

 

[RadeonProVega]

1280x960
anti aliasing x2
transparency anti-aliasing(super)
gamma correction AA
Texture medium
Object medium
Post high
Shadows High
Game effects high
Water medium
Shaders High
Physics High
Particles High
Volumetric high
Sound on low

It drop to 0-2fps at high settings when stuff like this happens.

Crysis aint that hard, on mine with that benchmarking tool it does 45FPS on High at 1680x1050 DX10

Clear Sky runs fine for me with DX10.1 on. I had to borrow the PII 920 in my HTPC for it tho haha. My 7750 can't do it tho.

back to Clear Sky - it's a major PITA for even my system.

I haven't yet tried playing with DX10.1, but my last foray, using Enhanced Full Dynamic Lighting (which is probably the most maxed out DX9c render I've ever seen), brought my system down into the 20FPS range . . . of which Crysis had never done to me.

Although, I've heard the DX10.1 implimentation does perform A TON better than the DX9 settings.



From personal experience, though - I have to give S:CS the award for most demanding game . . .

graphically, it competes with Crysis, IMHO - TBH, I found Crysis was too glossy, too polished, too bright. Sure, it looked good, but had that same over-done overtone that we see in modern blockbuster movies. CS, although a completely different engine, looks great, and has more of a gritty feel to it . . . I think subjectively it comes down to personal preference.

 

[FilipM]

I agree with that, CS just feels a bit more amnospheric (cant spell ), where as Crysis doesnt get me into it as much as CS does.

 

[LiveOrDie]

wait for crysis 2 the cryengine 3 your going to need a GTX350 to play it

 

[Mussels]

One of the most taxing, but for a very good reason:

and that reason is that it's poorly coded ;p

I was running the game on DX10 enthusiast and it looked nothing like that.

Anyways, some lovely photos ( only one benchmark )

8-12fps Max. Not bad for a P3 at those settings , no stutter, no pausing, slowdown of course , but overall this game looks freakin amazing. still not better then Jericho tho, which is still the best FPS ever made

Wait until you get to the last mission - Reckoning.

Lag fest!

That will be interesting

 

[phanbuey]

Not to rain on your parade but 8FPS and you might as well be playing it in powerpoint... Of course you won't notice stutter, at 8FPS you're in a constant state of stutter. That's bad. That rig cannot, by any definition, play crysis at those settings.

It *might* be playable with no AA and everything on Low.

Um yes its playable at 1280x1024 no aa low settings(15-24), but i can't stand to play at those settings anymore lol. I am buying a brand new computer soon, so i will get to enjoy crysis at those settings at maybe 20fps, which will be playable at most. These 2 video cards the 2400HD and 8400gs will be holding me back a bit, but hey, 20-30fps is perfect for me.
I am buying a 8600gt with GDDR3 memory just for the new rig, so that should put up to yea 20-30 at high to medium settings.

Anyways, more screens:

god i remember gaming with my old pentium four rig and a nvida 5200 thing or something like that couldnt even max out prey so to be a solid 20 fps in crysis maxed out is heavenly

Lag fest!

Oh gods I know what you mean, whole game ran at 25 fps with everything at medium ( fair and fine enough for me) I get to that level at it was running at 10! had to set everything to low and it was still only 15-20!

 

[Mussels]

i still get crap FPS in crysis. everything on second highest (4xaa, 1080P) i go between 30 and 60 FPS.

Whats 1080p? Seriously? I mean whats the resolution?
Also you said second highest at 4xaa and you get 30-60 and you called that crap
Thats perfect IMO, what you want to get 60-200 or something?

 

[pantherx12]

1900x1080 progressive scan.

 

[Mandown]

I haven't played crysis on my system, but Everquest 2 at the extreme setting is still very taxing on my system, and thats just running around outside no spell effects, unplayable with spells. I have it at very high and I get about 30+ fps. no AA either.

1080 = 1920x1080.
i means interlaced (30Hz)
P means progressive (60Hz)

its how HDTV's name it, as CRT TV's are all interlaced.


I cant stand gaming if my FPS ever drops below 30 FPS. crysis is a rare exception where i'll accept below 60 FPS. Games like left 4 dead - with 24xAA i go between 60 and 200 FPS.
