Crysis and my new 9800GTX

MikeJeng · May 5, 2008

Lol.

Something is wrong.

I have a 9800GTX. It auto detects all high at 1680X1050

typical fanboy statement, I went from an fx-62 to a q6700 and there was no differece in frames on highend games. Only on games I was already havign high frames in. The cpu DOES NOT bottleneck the card in crysis, it's the other way around. A 5000 is plenty capable of 120 frames in that game, but I seriously dobt his 9800gtx can run at that. Now if you;re talking HL2 then you're right the cpu is bottlnecking the card, but really at 200+ frames who cares? I'm really tired of hering the typicall intel fanboy comeout into every post and saying "your AMD is bottlenecking your card" because unless you're planning to run at super high frames it isn't true. AMD's are not that slow. IF he had a P4 he'd still be able to play crysis at reasonable frames (albeit with long load times) Why? because it's the gpu that matters in games NOT THE CPU.

The intel fanboys come out and go "wow look at my 3dmark06 score!" and expect every game to be the same as 3dmark. If that were true, his 9800gtx would look at crysis and laugh going "is that all you got?"

I've run nmy quad at 4GHZ and still not seen an increase from my fx-62 at stock when I game at 1680x1050 with 8x(16x some games)aa and 16xaf. Why? because at that point it's the gpu that is bottlnecking, NOT THE CPU. do me a favor and fire up crysis with your cpu at 3GHZ while runnign fraps and record the frames(leave your gpu settings as they are), then clock your cpu back to stock and do the same thing. your frames won't change.

Me, Intel fan? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, your funny

. I went from a 3GHz athlon to my current CPU, Crysis got a good boost in frames(try from 24-34)...and seemed alot smoother.

HP_dudeman · May 5, 2008

yeah, the intels definately outperform the amd

Alright I'm going to say it, Liar. proof would be nice, but I already know the truth and that is that you're wrong, won't admit it and are making things up.

Hey, why don't you guys shut up and get back on topic!

JC316 · May 6, 2008

I am going to call driver issues here, even with a slower CPU, the 9800GTX should have plenty of power to run smoothly at 1024x768.

As for the yougurt/urb debate, I say that a 3ghz c2d WILL give better frame rates over a stock 5000+

DaedalusHelios · May 6, 2008

1024x768 is limited by CPU actually. Take the resolution above 1280x1024 or better and the GPU will be used alot more in your case. This is pretty funny actually. :laugh:

You will see higher frames and less stutter at higher resolutions most likely. This rule only applies in your extremely rare situation. Who gets a 9800gtx and and sets their games to 1024x768. :laugh:

Resolutions between 1280x1024 and 1600x1200 will be the safe zone with your rig. Try it!

PS. Before some idiot says I am wrong, I really want you to try it. Then we will decide if I am incorrect or not. I want you to have fun with that killer card.

Yeah, I don't know what yogurt is going on about. :laugh:

GJSNeptune · May 6, 2008

Ha. I was just browsing my Add/Remove programs list and I saw Xtreme Catalyst way at the bottom. Whoops!

I'm going through erocker's uninstall thread. I'll report back later. (Took a half-day so I could be here to pick up my new Verizon BlackBerry Curve.

)

GJSNeptune · May 6, 2008

Uninstalled RivaTuner and NVIDIA display drivers. Deleted temp and prefetch folders. Ran CCleaner's junk cleaner and registry scanner. Installed ForceWare 174.74, didn't do anything in NVIDIA Control Panel.

Crysis still wants Medium. :mad:

JrRacinFan · May 6, 2008

Running any of the latest patches GJS?

Black Panther · May 6, 2008

Sorry for insisting but I'd still run 3dmark06 and see how the card performs vis-a-vis other 9800GTX. Might be there's something wrong with the card and rma'd be the only option... :ohwell:

Edit - and check clocks with GPU-Z. Who knows you might have got a freak card with stock underclock, I dunno

GJSNeptune · May 6, 2008

Running Crysis 1.2.

Im going to say that it is bottled by your 5000+, what clock speed are you running it at?

no his 5000+ is plenty for all games

I came from a Sapphire Radeon x1950 Pro 256MB PCI-E. Crysis auto-detected my performance and set everything to medium. I fire up my new PALiT 9800GTX, auto-detect, and it kept everything at medium.

I don't have FRAPS to verify, but when I turned everything to High, gameplay got really jerky at times.

What's going on?

(And holy cow is the GTX's enclosure hot!)

Also is your PSU 520watt
, If so your getting close on power

GJSNeptune · May 6, 2008

Doubt it.

You might be right but 520 is low for a 9800 gtx sounds more like drivers or a ram problem.

GJSNeptune · May 6, 2008

It might be coming close to 520W, but it's a top-notch PSU, so I'm not worried. I never thought I'd get a 9800GTX.

I don't think it'd be my memory. It's running at its advertised timings, 4-4-4-12, and passed about one and a half runs of memtest error-free.

Must be drivers, but I have no idea why.

Urbklr · May 6, 2008

Could you post a bench of Crysis?

GJSNeptune · May 6, 2008

I'll see what I can do when I get home tonight.

Urbklr · May 6, 2008

So, is the game smooth at all?

GJSNeptune · May 6, 2008

With Medium settings, yes. When I pushed everything to High, it was jerky in some spots.

It's Crysis Benchmark game of the year. NO SYSTEM PLAYS IT SMOOTH 24/7 on those settings.

GJSNeptune · May 6, 2008

I highly doubt it can't run smoothly on High settings at 1024x768. Maybe a higher res. Maybe even 1280x1024, but jerky gameplay on 1024x768 seems piece-of-cake.

Some do

.....But, a 9800GTX, and a 2.6GHz Athlon i would say will always be jerky in spots
