So, whos upset about Crysis.....

[niko084]

How come? You might actually be able to turn AA on with them

Eh, too lazy, demo is lame....

I'm going to probably buy the game in a month or two anyways..
By then I'll probably buy a 8800GT or a 38**

 

[Wile E]

So should I go down to walmart and buy vista home?

I know this was a while back in the thread, but if you can find a retail disk (from a friend or wherever), you can install any version for a 30day trial, as long as you don't enter a serial.

People die with their arms up in the air lol

I've heard of rigor mortis, but that's just retarded, lol.

*list of specs and settings*

Yeah, it's not as demanding as I thought..

Anyhow, I'm downloading the demo ATM, again. We'll see how it is tonight/tomorrow.

BTW, can anyone tell if the beta requires more oompfh in your system than the demo?

 

[FAXA]

i'm quite happy with it so far, i thought they said DX9 wouldn't get destructible stuff and day/night cycles? i get both

That was for multiplayer .

 

[X800]

On my system it works very good at everything at high DX9 all maxed to quality in CCC Res 1280*1024 .Cpu clocked to 2739mhz and card gpu 800/1100 mem.Runs like a dream =)

 

[AsRock]

I get horrible performance with Crysis demo! First, here are my specs, nothing over clocked:

CPU: Intel Quad-Core Q6600
Memory: 2GB DDR2 800 Crucial Ballistix
Video: ATI HD2900XT 1GB
Sound: Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty

Now, I'll just list out my settings with respective FPS:

Low @1280x1024: 35fps
Medium @1280x1024: 20fps
High @1280x1024: 10fps
Very High @1280x1024: 10fps

I was very disappointed by this demo as I feel I should be getting much better performance than this with my system. I get 60fps easy with the Unreal 3 demo with all settings maxed out. This Crysis demo gives me the same performance as the beta version. Now, if this is what the final game is going to be like, i sure as crap won't buy it. If Crytek doesn't intend this demo to reflect the final version's performance, then they should just call it Beta 4.

you tried turning down the AA.. BUT if you turn Shader quality up to high it turns AA back on and off when you put it on Medium which i found Annoying. As i found out late last night but still looks sweet .

 

[FAXA]

I'm surprised at how crappy the performance was on my machine :S.

Everything on medium at 1024x768 and it was just about playable - the lowest FPS was about 4 and the average was about 23. Surely it should run a little better?

 

[Athlon2K15]

ive been playing all day long with 1680x1050 @ medium with no problem im getting at least 30-40 fps

 

[cdawall]

waiting for the dl to finish @50% right now will post FPS and SS when its done and now that i know im stable with vid @569/1520 i may even get playable framerate...need to get a better mobo though anyone want to send me a free s754 nforce3 mobo? so i can oc the cpu without crapping out the gpu...(any oc on the cpu make the AGP bus unstable since i have no bus locks )

Latest drivers?

 

[mrw1986]

I played until 4am last nite on my system listed in my system specs perfectly fine. The only things that sort of were choppy were a couple of the cinematics. Mainly the one jumping from the plane. The only other time it hiccupped was when I reached a checkpoint, but it was literally only a millisecond. I can only imagine how this will run on my Q6600/Q6700 and 8800GT.

 

[bvillepc]

Ya thats simply not right if you have updated drivers and such....
What resolution are you playing in?

Well, with the newest Catalyst drivers and the November release of DirectX installed, the game becomes playable, at least. To run the game on "Very High" settings and get at least 30fps, I have to play it at 1024x768 with no AA. It gets up to 72fps when I look at the sky or ground only and drops down to about 16fps in the scenes where there are buildings and such. It's a beautiful game, and it's just not meant to be played at anything lower than "High" settings. The lower resolutions really take away from the game. This game would be fantastic if I could play it at my monitor's highest supported resolution and maybe even some AA. I hope some new drivers will allow me to do this.

You have a separate problem... I cannot really point out what it is, but your performance is simply horrible.

 

[bvillepc]

I dunno what the hell it is. I sure wish I could find the problem. I spent like $2k on my new rig just to play Crysis, and everything (Bioshock, Unreal 3, Half Life 2 E2, C&C 3, Battlefield 2/2142) except Crysis runs great with all settings maxed out at my highest resolution. Maybe it's not using all my CPU cores, or I need to run at as Administrator, I dunno. I hate when things don't just work the way I expect them to, lol.

Hmm, I am interested to see your results. I have a friend with a system about like yours.

 

[niko084]

Keep seeing this issue with X-fi sound cards.....
Try running onboard sound...

Yes!!!!!



Another shit game for us on the PC, Go Crysis.



Sorry guys, but I think starting next build, it will be a 360 so I have some games, and games that actually play.

 

[bvillepc]

I tried removing my X-Fi sound card and even leaving on-board disabled with the same performance level as with it in. So, I dunno what the deal is. ATI is supposed to be coming out with some new drivers soon. Maybe those will help.

 

[newconroer]

With a rig identical to the one in my specs, yet using a 8800 GTS at 600/1000 I get roughly:

Vista
64bit executable
1280X1024
AA disabled
All settings "Very High"

low-mid twenties average while in the jungle
high teens average while near objects i.e. down in the enemy camps
mid-high teens average during fire fights while near objects, with dips to low teens



Vista
64bit executable
1280X1024
2x AA
All settings "Very High" but Shader quality "High"


mid thirties average while in the jungle
mid-high twenties average while near objects i.e. down in the enemy camps
low-mid twenties average during fire fights while near objects, with dips to high teens


I went and dropped the CPU to 3.010ghz and seemed to generally lose less than five FPS in most scenarios, but didn't test it extensively.


I did this, to see if the Mrs. would be able to enjoy playing it with a GTS, and well, she said and I quote "Very high shaders or nothing."

So... I don't know what to do hehe.

Sounds like an excuse to buy an 8800GT to me. lol

If you want to see FPS in screen when you play press § for the console to come down and write r_displayinfo 1

 

[Xaser04]

The demo play ok for me at 1680x1050 medium / high settings (post processing and shadows on Low)

This is on:

C2D E4300 @ 3ghz
X1900XT 256mb @ stock (havn't tried overclocking it yet)
2GB ram
Windows XP 32bit

Running on Omega Cat 7.2's (Yet to update)

Seems to give playable framerates however I have noticed massive texture corruption on certain parts of the level followed by completely random crashes. At first I thought hardware issue but The UT3 demo runs flawlessly maxxed out for hours.

I must admit though after an intial quick play through crysis has left me a tad dissapointed. It just doesn't feel fun to me (This might have something to do with the massive session I had on UT3 just before and difference in the pace of the two games)

I will give it another chance I think (and try the DX10 features on XP trick) but I don't think I will buy the game - well not at full price anyway.

 

[zekrahminator]

I'm definitely buying the full version when it comes out .
