CRYSIS 3 - OPEN BETA BEGINS JANUARY 29th

[EiSFX]

I kinda like it kinda don't but i personally like Crysis for its single player if it was for the multiplayer i wish they would have a normal Deathmatch. But the game its self needs some serious optimization.

[TRWOV]

7% and slowing

So I did a little FRAPS benchmark on Hunter mode with 16 peeps in Aiport for 3 minutes on my setup. Here's my results, not bad I guess

[LAN_deRf_HA]

Someone finally found the solution. If you followed earlier directions to add a profile in the control panel you need to delete it. Only add the profile with nvidia inspector. That solves the SLI issue. Now I figured out the performance bit. By far the single biggest thing to hurt performance is the AA setting. TXAA=25 fps, MSAA=40 FPS, FXAA=60 FPS. This explains all the performance brackets I've seen.

[1ceTr0n]

Allright, for sheets and giggles I ran another test with the beta 313.96 drivers. I didn't see a hoo ha of a difference in gameplay on my end and the results back me up on that

[james888]

I get a oddly consistent 51fps. 7970 at 1000mhz.

I hate the hunters bow. I did get one lucky headshot that won a game, but that is the only arrow I was able to land tonight. 1/100 shot... because I probably shot 100 or so arrows in the hour I played.

looks good, loads fast
maps are stadium style
all kind of kits including psychogun style fantasy guns
sports event touch

this is....

unreal tournament, quake arena revamped

[TRWOV]

It sure loads fast. Hunter is kind of a letdown (maybe because I suck) but the matches are short so it evens out. I found a nice hiding spot in Crash Site that helped me to "win" several rounds. Got to lvl 6 last night.

[1ceTr0n]

There is some serious lag and hit detection issues with the hunters bow and it feels really floaty would be best way to describe trying to aim the damn thing.

[jboydgolfer]

One thing I can say,,I did like the cosole in game,,just like battlefield, if you push the "~" button,,it gives You a good read out of Your systems standing as far as performance goes. From CPU, to GPU, to RAM, etc.I'm sure it's Not fully operational in the beta,,but it's a good direction.

[LightningJR]

All maxed, no motion blur, 1X SMAA.

[james888]

I hate how you can't turn motion blur off. I disabled it in the settings but there is still some blur. The default blur setting was unplayable for me.

[erixx]

the sky with the DELIMITING "antennas" or "hemisfere" elements makes is so CLAUSTROPHOBIC

[erocker]

This game sorely needs raw mouse input.

Real life has blur, you are a failure....

[Wastedslayer]

I just wish in Hunter mode the Hunters would be a smidge easier to see. Right now they can basically stand in front of you and you dont know it.

[LAN_deRf_HA]

I wish they were harder to see. There's no hiding in this game at all. You're either on radar, out in the open, or glowing red/blue. Makes sniping impractical when only a headshot can kill someone and by then everyone knows where you are. If modern games don't want a class to excel just remove the class.

In a game that has no motion blur, you can turn so fast everything seems to blur because it is faster than you can see just like real life. I feel that is enough. I hate the motion blur effect because it gives me a headache. It has a slight motion blur even when disabled, just enough to be irratating.

I agree. I can hear the hunters coming, and I can see them once they are there. Then its a game of who can fire the fastest and those bows are hard to shoot with.

[KingPing]

I love the graphics, don't like the gameplay and hate the motion blur.

[manofthem]

Played a few rounds again today and I thought it was "eh." I can't seem to get awesome fps in this baby; I guess crossfire still isn't working like it should or perhaps it's such a beast game to run

The 2 minutes rounds are frustrating IMO, makes it hard to get into the matches.

[n0tiert]

finaly made it, but is crysis only a DX11 Tittle or only Beta ?
i wanted to try it on my old rig too.... (4870x2)

DX11 capable cards are available since 2009, that's more than 3 years so hardly new hardware. Plus everybody was outraged that Crysis 2 launched in DX9, now when it's only DX11 it's the other way around?

true, but it should be backwards compatible atleast , xbox360 & ps3 are DX9+

[...PACMAN...]

I'll give it a go tomorrow when I get my gfx card, have no rig effectively at the moment. Will no doubt have to turn alot of settings down but whatever. I quite liked some elements of crysis 2 mp.

It's the new trend, Bioshock Infinite will be also DX11, maybe it'll run on DX10 but Battlefield 3 launched more than a year ago is DX11 only. I can't blame them though.
