There you go, I knew I wasn't the only one capped @ 50FPS... Btw, I have the latest drivers and CAP Profiles... It has nothing to do with that... It's the game that caps it @ 50... With 1xradeon 6950 I used to just alt-enter into this other fullscreen mode where the FPS isn't capped and it ran great... but now, in a crossfire setup that particular alt-enter trick doesn't work anymore because the other full-screen mode is worst than the normal full-screen mode...
I can't believe NO ONE has found a fix to this yet !%"$%?/?
I've done so much research on the subject on google and I haven't found a trick that works yet... It's like Crysis forces a 50hz refresh rate on the game... Dang it!
Well, I don't give up easily... I'll keep looking until I find the solution, and when I do, I'll let you know :OP
Alright guys, ready for the scoop ??? I finally found out how to REMOVE THE 50FPS CAP in Crysis !!!
And if you're happy about the 32bit and DX10 tip, you can thank me if you want (would help my rep a little :O)
Ok... before I continue, if you use the following tip, it will give you a fullscreen, V-Sync On, 1920x1080 res, 4xAA with everything set to "use app setting" in CCC... You WILL get a strong 30FPS avg if you have 1xradeon 6950 or around 35FPS if you have a decently OCed 6970... You WILL get a 50FPS avg with 2xradeon 6950, and about the same with 2x6970...
If you want the best performance in Crysis, I suggest you do exactly this (these are done with the 11.5 CCC):
1. Make sure you use the 32bit shortcut for Crysis (btw the Dx11 32 bit shortcut will work just as good as the dx 10 (I've just tested this and it works...)
2. Go to your CCC panel, and go to "My digital flat panels" and you should see somewhere down the page something about your actual res like "1080p60 standard"... Next to this is the "Add button". Click on that and then tick the box that says "maintain aspect ratio"... Next: You should see 4xRed squares, click once on the bottom one and then click "accept"... Then you can apply that resolution if you want (I'm not sure you need to run that res on your desktop prior to using it in Crysis...)
3. Click on your 32 bit Crysis shorcut and go into your in-game "options"... In the "graphics" tab, there should an option to choose your resolution... slide the scrollbar down to your "custom resolution" and apply it.
This will unlock the 50FPS cap and let you have up to 60 FPS... The only downside being that this "custom screen resolution" will take away about 4pixels all around your screen... but I can live with that knowing I have a nice 60FPS in Crysis with very high settings hehehe
Doing this lets me hit 60FPS steadily in less-demanding areas of the game, and it can drop all the way down to 40fps... that's not so cool, but I haven't tested my 2xradeon with much of an overclock on this... They were both @ 840/1325, I'll try again with my MSI AB OC (945/1450 1.2 volts).
LET ME KNOW if this helped you and what results you are getting from it
