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

[Mussels]

have you updated directX?

have you updated directX?

Yep. But i look around in google a bit and alot of people have this problem, i found some useful information. I am using my onboard audio, it could be that i need a sound card. So i will pick up a new sound card, when i pick up a pcie card. Come to find out, this problem is not only with crysis, i tried playing SOF3 , same thing, also same thing with GTA 3. So maybe in vista i need a sound card, which might help on things.

Or it could be a problem with the 2400HD in Vista. So its either one of them. I had this problem with my 2400HD when i was using my P3, with tomb raider legend, problem went away using my 6200 or 8400gs. The 2400HD is really a funny acting card.

Anyways, it could be those 2 issues which i mention, i will look into them soon.

Crysis kneels before thy 4850X2. All high I get 60+FPS at all times.

with beta drivers i might add

The good thing, i set everything to VERY HIGH dx10 settings, at 1280x1024 with AAX2 and at the cut scenes i get around 15.22 - 26.6fps.

How in the world can you select VERY HIGH settings? unless its just DX10? even i cant select that high, it just wont let me, even my Brothers comp with a 4850 wont let him select it

its a DX10 setting.

I have no problems playing Crysis-Dx10 or DX9 on Vista. Like I said the Game is on Steam. So, It does let me choose wich version I want to play.

Just go into bin32 or bin64 and rename CryRenderD3D9.dll to CryRenderD3D10.dll, and CryRenderD3D10.dll to CryRenderD3D9.dll. After that add -dx10 to the end of your shortcut this will actually start the game in dx9 and the very high setting in the menu will be available.

old trick. it makes the options available, but doesnt really do anything graphics wise. The game merely doesnt render the extra effects that "very high" calls for.

 

[js01]

I don't really notice that much of a differnce between high and very high but with this trick I know that sunshafts enable and those are only in very high.

I usually just play DX9 all high. Very High on dx10 just kills performance and doesn't look that much better. Plus I get 4x AA with Dx9.

I think dx10 rapes dx9 visually in crysis but then dx10 rapes your gpu and its like watching a slideshow.

 

[PEPE3D]

That is a good analogy.

 

[RadeonProVega]

Directx10 / very high doesn't seem that demanding. I already tried it.(even tho i can't seem to run it good) If your card is a beast, people should get anywhere between 20-30. But also, some settings don't need to be on very high such as sound or particles. Do people really pay attention to particles in a game?
I seen the views over at the tweak3d guide, they are not a big deal.

GTX 295 handles it fine with an OC'ed Quad. I've been there.

And it looks alot better if you have good frame rates. The sunlight god rays are perfect lighting when running through the jungle. Its immersive but it will cost you a better GPU.

 

[AKlass]

on my rig running at 1366x768 gets me 18-34 fps using a custom high config

 

[js01]

DX9 Very High

DX10 Very High

 

[Reventon]

Don't see a huge difference between the two really.

Check out this video i found

[PEPE3D]

Pretty good video. Low resolution. When you seat in front of your PC for more than 5 hrs playing this game, let me tell you is, awsome!. You sough of get involve like being in the game. It is intense. Once you finished the game you feel that you want more. That is why I played the 2nd Part Crysis Warhead. Waiting for the next one. Ihope that they don't screw it up Like FEAR 2.

 

[RadeonX2]

YES, 'nuff said. Until I get a decent card

 

[RadeonProVega]

Quick question, in warhead is there a way to enable 3rd person mode?
I hit `, and did -devmode or _devmode and nothing happen.

 

[MRCL]

Hm I play with BlueSky mod and the non-custom settings on very high, 8x AA and 1680x1050 and get a decent 35 fps average... but that is in "calm" situations. Its still hella demanding game.

 

[crtecha]

I get about 25-30fps with those settings but If I drop down my AA to 4x and well my res is 1440 but I can run it smooth like butter at about 35-40.

cpu clock 3.2ghz
gpu 680mhz-1.1ghz

 

[AUTOgod]

gtaIV by a long way.

crysis is hard on the GPU side, and allows me to set max settings at 1680x1050 and get 25-30 fps.

GTAIV wont let me go to high texture detail hehe and runs the CPU a lot harder.

CPU usage in crysis with CPU driven settings (physics, sound etc) at highest my CPU runs at 50-60%

GTAIV runs at a solid 90%, with the GPU pushed just as hard.
