I hope they find a fix for the steam versions. I know that's how a LOT of people got their copy.

newconroer · Sep 22, 2008, 05:05 PM

Don't these Crysis bench tools only require like the island map(GPU bench) folder, and a few other smaller files and executables in order to run?

...meaning, that a whole package could be uploaded?

FelipeV · Sep 23, 2008, 02:55 PM

update to 0.15 version.

No steam version yet

Huh?

Hmmm, maybe you're running out of memory or video card framebuffer is exausted, 1920x1200 AA4x @ ENTHUSIAST seems to be very resource hog, my HD 4870 512 MB runs frame-by-frame if I set that graphics detail level.

By the way, new build is available.

Maybe it's the 512 MB framebuffer? For 1920x1200 with FSAA at Enthusiast level 512 MB should not be enough. Hope I'm wrong.

ShogoXT · Sep 24, 2008, 03:53 AM

From my experience the limited 512MB memory has not held back the 48xx series in any bench besides 30 inch displays or higher.

Least on review sites anyway. I browse for them alot.

no go on res, but higher AA can be done . my max is 1280x1024 .

ShogoXT · Sep 24, 2008, 04:14 AM

Yea I tried to force too, but it wouldnt work. Its odd my system would do this. I get normal comparable FPS on other games and apps.

Can you run the test at 1920x1080 ? I have a 4870X2 but my 22" cant reach that high resolution.

Did you noticed if your hard drive is not working to much ?

How much free memory you have ? 32bits system with your configuration you probably have only 3GB available.

Last night I was trying Adapt or Perich, fighting the big alien at 1920x1080 8xAA and my FPS was going from 20 to 35, but the amount of memory used is huge, close to 2GB.

Japa, desculpa demorar pra atualizar o post, ontem tava em festa la em casa, meu irmao vai ser papai

iStink · Sep 24, 2008, 12:55 PM

It's nice to see the dx10 version running better. I hadn't paid much attention to that for a while. Wasn't the game running nearly twice as good on xp as it did on vista at one point?

Here at DX10 first.

First test was running uder Vista 32 bits, only 3GB of memory available, the second run is under Vista 64, 6GB of memory.

During your teste, you having a huge slowdowon when the mines explode ?

Maybe if: You didn't call your parents fags You didn't call yourself "hacker" on the internet You learned to spell "awesome" and "assassin" they might think you are mature enough to get the game. -Davidelmo

Least on review sites anyway. I browse for them alot.

I hadn't paid much attention to that for a while. Wasn't the game running nearly twice as good on xp as it did on vista at one point? __________________
