This should have arrived with the game on release, not 3 months later...

EA rushed Crytek to release the PC version with the console version so they were forced at the time to do a port. they didn't have time to fully refine and implement advanced dx11 features.

That burning train sequence (starting at 2:07) had down right awful physics. Look at that collision. I can't, my eyes hurt. The rocks are flying like cardboard boxes.

This thing blows like a bad hurricane. I can't play no more than 5 minutes and then it simply crashes. I've try drivers 275.33 and the 275.50 beta. Visually, I think it sucks.

The funny thing is if I reinstall the game without this eye candy BS it plays beautifully. NO CRASHES.

I thought this was supposed to enhanced the experience?!?! WOW! Crystek has gone from bad to worse.

Are you using the 470 for PhysX? I believe there is a known issue with using a dedicated PhysX card since the recent 1.9 patch. Try running the game w/out your PhysX card. I have no problems running the game with my 2 GTX 580's using the 275.50 drivers along with the EVGA SLI Enhancement app.

someone should post screen shots with the high res pack and dx11 pack with it maxed

submicron · Jun 29, 2011

Okay, I will try that out. No physics then.

Hmmm?

It has some physics in it. I saw a dude throw a box in the video XD

To all : I hear this has sucky ATI performance can anyone confirm?

My 6850 chokes hard. I expected it to though.

My guess is that ( judging from what I've seen) is that things that don't need to be tessellated get tessellated.

Hopefully AMD will release a tessellation profile for it.

Switching off the stupid DOF will help a lot too I imagine, massive performance hit for nothing if you ask me.

My eyes never focus like that. I know your looking through a visor in crisis but I would of thought they would of invested in something that doesn't require focus ( I.E takes in all available image data) ( like this kinda tech http://dvice.com/archives/2011/06/amazing-lytro-c.php) Coupled with eye tracking so that it focuses the same as your eyes.

Hate DOF so much in games lol

Wow! must download

Well, I did try the no physics on my dedicated GTX 470. Which I figure It didn't needed in the first place. Unfortunately, it didn't work. In fact rolled back to drivers 270.61 and the same problem. 10 seconds into the game complete lock up.

I've also try drivers 275.33 and 275.50 BETA. Same problem as I mentioned.

Now, I re-install game with only patch 1.1 and everything is fine. No crashes or lock-ups.

My opinion... this whole update is nothing but a disaster. No matter if you have an ATI or NVIDIA card. It simply blows. Some are arguing that its the card's drivers?

Personally I don't see that huge difference visually. In fact, all it has done is introduced more bugs and performance hick-ups.

I figure every user will have a different scenario. Its a logical thing.

Shihab · Jun 29, 2011

So any benches yet ? I'm hesitant to download the updates. I don't think my poor 465 will handle the shook.

digibucc · Jun 29, 2011

not sure where the benchmark is, but my 5850/i7 920 rig runs it on extreme, with dx11 enabled
and high res textures as well.

i only tested for a few minutes, but it was a relatively big level with a lot going on, and there
was no stutter that i noticed. there may have been some i didn't but it is playable with no issue
on that end.

my issue is i have to restart the game to get the unlocks i have already paid for (nano-catalyst)
