On a single monitor I have no issues on high getting 60+ FPS obviously with the single GTX470 (@875c/1600m) since SLi doesn't work. Going to try some more drivers and see if I can get nv surround working since it forces SLi.

Definitely post what you did if you're able to force SLI to somehow work as I'd be very curious how it performs at high res in SLI.

I tried a million things to get CF working, and I got it where it was using both GPUs, but only around 60% each, and with half the framerate I was getting with a single GPU.

They aren't very high res lol. Maxed out with my 680.

Frankly I don't like Crysis multiplayer. Its CoD with nano suits.

It's more like Halo:NYC

Yeah I was actually thinking that with the way the shields break.

cdawall · Nov 4, 2012, 12:55 AM

Good news is I got SLi to work.

99% utilization of both GPU's. Bad news is it is still only hitting 30FPS max on medium (seems wrong for two cards) and it crashed.

Yeah that sounds similar to my experience with Crossfire. Guess the game itself just isn't programmed yet to handle it.

It surprises me a bit since other titles using CryEngine 3 have no issues with CF/SLI.

It might purely be them being silly with the alpha.

Dumped the beta's I was using for those as well. NV surround still not working correctly, SLi kind of half-ass worked until it crashed

Maybe before the alpha is over we will see some quicky patches form crytek and NV/AMD.

sgs2008 · Nov 4, 2012, 10:45 AM

Ok after more fiddling foudn out that shader to high and water to high gives me 60-80 fps on my single 680 since sli isnt working. With everything else on very high at 1080p.

Settings? resolution?

on my side, I might try to install lastest CCC BETA, see if there is any more performance, but I think the game just demand too much xD

HammerON · Nov 4, 2012, 11:55 AM

Played Crysis 2 MP for almost a year (until BF 3 came out) and really enjoyed the game. Downloading now to see how it taxes my current rig. Also curious to see what improvements they have made.

I saw this over at the EVGA forum in regards to SLI:

No SLI Enhancment yet from EVGA, but hopefully soon.

chinmi · Nov 4, 2012, 01:30 PM

really2 want to try my current rig with crysis 3.... i5 750@4ghz + 6990 should be enough right ??

Not enough for very high, at least not at this point, since it won't use both GPUs on your 6990. Assuming that in the end your 6990 performs similarly to a 7970/680, you should be able to play at very high at 1080/1200p. Probably won't be super smooth, though, judging from current performance.

Mix of high settings with a couple of mediums and terrible motion blur at low. Running 1680X1050 since nv surround wont work

Doesn't work for mine still getting a crash and horrible frame rates.

No problem at all.
My i5-750 @ 2.66 stock, EVGA GTX 560 stock at 850 has no problem at 1080p med/high.

HammerON · Nov 4, 2012, 11:51 PM

Played a couple rounds last night. Was fun but did remind me of Crysis 2 MP. Forgot to disable Motion Blur (hate that crap). Also had issues with lag. Will play around a bit more tonight. Didn't check to see if SLI was working or not.

MxPhenom 216 · Nov 5, 2012, 12:00 AM

This game runs like butter fully maxed out with my 680.

Slow butter? What kind of FPS are you getting all maxed out? I get about 30fps maxed out 2560x1440. With everything set to the high preset I get 60-70 but seem to get dips due to the network.

idk, I never really check FPS, or my OCD kicks in, and I begin to obsess about it.

Check it. Otherwise I don't believe you... Even though I might believe you.

I imagine its a TWIMTBP'd game...Might be why.

BigMack70 · Nov 5, 2012, 12:13 AM

People with OC'd 670s and 680s over on the Alpha forum are getting about what I'm getting on an OC'd 7970

Maxed out @ 1080/1200p seems to be yielding between ~40-45fps average on those cards.

That is, of course, if you ignore the odd user who claims to be getting 70fps+
