I wonder if this will give umm... advantages to Crysis...

 

[erocker]

I hope so... The retail version isn't any different from the demo, performance-wise.

I'm still looking for the 30-40% increase drivers

this boosted my fps up by about 8 now everything on high dx9 at 1280-1024 on vista 64 is playable fps varies from 19 to high as 40 but averages about 28

What did you use before Evil mate?

I want to give these a go, for DX10 very high but..if nhancer and riva don't work, I gotta modify both program's code and that's such a pain in the ass.


EDIT: Nhancer 2.3.2 out..woohoO!

if you mean what drivers i used before 169.04 had about 23fps average on all high dx 9 so it runs better now it also add sli support this is in the demo btw the water reflections are fixed now too

Yes, everything was going well until I brought up Riva and got the dreaded not supported message. Yet I ignore it, then I goto set my clocks, and unfortunatley...the 3d Performance won't separate from the 2d setting.

Everytime I set say 630 core, then go and check the 2d, it's also 630. I set it to something like 550, then my 3d performance goes back down to 550. And yes, I did tell it to differentiate the 2d/3d settings.

Going to go back to 2.06 beta.
