Crysis, is it still the hardest game on your system?

[JC316]

Flight Simulator X will eat your pc, then crap it out and eat it again.

Stick all the graphics up as high as they go and take off from heathrow, I got about 7 fps.

Oh yeah. I saw a HELL of a rig running it at Quakecon. I think it was twin 4870x2's and it ran like a frozen dog turd. Of course, it was running on multiple screens, but still.

 

[Aceman.au]

It doesnt stop at high, remember ultra high... Now that is demanding...

 

[OzzmanFloyd120]

This is at 1280x1024 low to medium settings, i a solid 15-25fps.

If i set the visuals up to all medium, i get 11-18fps. Now if i set it up to medium to high i get 9-13fps. All at stock settings.

So the bottom line here, Crysis and warhead is kinda demanding. I mean, if i OC my card i might gain a few more fps, but i am sure if i had a 8500gt or even the 8600gt i would be able to play crysis at medium to high without any trouble. So crysis and warhead is kinda demanding, but not what people think. And this is from someone using a p3 with 600mhz. I can only wonder if my speed was up to 1ghz.
If i was never planning to buy a secondary rig, i would sure enough go ahead and upgrade my speed. But oh well , 600mhz is fine.

Once you have your res at 1680*1050 or higher, throw in some AA and DX10 though, Crysis becomes a whole different beast.

Yea i agree, the higher you go, the more demanding. I guess you guys can have fun with all of that. Even whenever i do get my new rig, i plan to keep it simple at 1280x1024 medium to high or high to medium. Looks perfect at those settings imo.

Peace

Wait until you have a card that can handle it at High or Very High, it gets so much nicer... You would have to see it to know it.

U2 There you go again speaking out of your Rear End.l

I think he's talking with his wallet

 

[RevengE]

maybe all I ever hear about is this new rig he's getting.

 

[Binge]

If he doesn't set the bar at max settings with over 30 fps in Crysis he'll save $200+

 

[RevengE]

[hat]

oh well. either he thinks he's fooling us by making it look like he's running crysis on a pIII or he actually is, either way that's just what he does and it's best to let him alone because he's either laughing at us or just not listening to us

If i OC my 8400gs to a point and keep crysis at 1280x1024 at all low, i am sure i will hit 35fps. However, playing crysis at low is not cool. I played crysis at 1280x1024 all high:

Seen here, so whats the point in playing this at all low when viewing visuals like that?
No point.

oh well. either he thinks he's fooling us by making it look like he's running crysis on a pIII or he actually is, either way that's just what he does and it's best to let him alone because he's either laughing at us or just not listening to us

Wouldn't even be able to play none of these games with the help of the 8400gs or my 2400HD. Plus i am running in pcie mode.

There is no such thing as pci-e on a PIII based system PCI-E wasn't even thought of yet when PIII was commonplace.

The new pci cards use a special bridge that enables the same speed as pcie 1.0, however i was told by albatron , Robert that it fully uses the same speed as pcie, despite the lower bandwidth in PCI. also read this
http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?Itemid=34&id=7548&option=com_content&task=view

" The cards use a PCIe to PCI bridge from Pericom "

contact albatron or any company that makes these new pci cards, they will tell you the same thing.

 

[hat]

Impossible. PCI-E 1.0 spec is 100mhz. There is no way to get a PCI slot (these run at 33mhz) to run at 100mhz. If you did you would have so many stability errors it just wouldn't work. The 8400gs is origionally a pci-e card so yes it does use a pci/pci-e bridge, but I garuntee you there is absolutely no way your pci 8400gs is running at a bus speed of 100mhz like the pci-e version would. The only thing the pci-e/pci bridge does is make the parts of the 8400gs which were designed for pci-e work with the regular pci interface; they do not allow the pci card to run at the pci-e 1.0 spec of 100mhz.

 

[Saakki]

lawl it is interesting to see that someone is trying to play crysis with p3 and 8400 PCI card ..that needs some balls

 

[ste2425]

Crysis or Crysis Warhead and what res?

both crysis and ward head run perfect in high settings at 1680X1050, in windows 7 and xp, xp gets a little more performance though coz it aint using directx 10

Or patience more like it!

Yes that is correct. Even if the card is running at 100mhz on the 33mhz bus of pci will slow it down anyway.

Lol i am running Crysis on Low settings at 1920x1080 and i get around 40-60fps, the same with Warhead.
And that is with a 3650, alothough i am using a e8400 which i think helps alot.
I LOVE Crysis Warhead tho.

 

[chris89]

Maxxed out on DX 10 at 1920x1200, im getting between 25-30FPS,

Compared to FSX maxed out but not with DX10 on i get about 30FPS at 30,000FT and around 5-10 at Heathrow.

 

[MightyG80]

It burdens the system a lot, but i think its the best good-looking game there is. There are moments when you just have to stop in-game to admire the beauty of the graphics. Makes you happy that gfx card technology has progressed so much to make such games reality.

Yeah crysis is what real life was supposed to look like but god messed up

Yeah I'm about the same with my setup. I'm considering overclocking to 3.4ghz on the cpu and on my card when the artic cooling xtreme comes out for it. Would push those frames a bit further. Although, I'm a little worried about summer temperatures.

another 200 will do wonders for fsx especially because we have a quad. I was considering firing mine upto 3.6 for it.
