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

[ShadowFold]

Crysis isn't the hardest game on my computer ever since I put my 720BE in my computer. The CPU really makes a difference.

 

[CDdude55]

Getting Crysis soon, what is the predicted frame rate on my rig?

1400x900 resolution, but I'd settle for 1024x768

Should work good at a lower res, at 1440x900 my 8600 GTS can't handle it that well on High(my CPU helps alot tho). On Medium with no AA, it should do very well tho, and this is talking about Crysis, Warhead should do a bit more better.

Some more lovely Crysis Screens at 1280x1024 AAX2, This time all medium settings with shadows on high settings.

 

[CDdude55]

I didn't think it was possible for it to look like that with a PIII rig. Looks nice.

 

[ShadowFold]

I doubt he's sustaining 20fps. I just got done playing warhead 4x AA 1920x1080 all gamer and didn't see the fps go below 30.

 

[RadeonProVega]

At 1280x1024 no AA, all medium settings(sound on low) i get around a solid 15-27fps(only with my 8400gs). Right now the game is moving at 3-5fps, because i have my external HD hook up to my USB 2.0 card, so my whole system is in a massive bottleneck mode lol. If i put my external hd plug in the back of my tower, my system becomes bottleneck free, but as of right now, i wanted to enable 2.0 speed for for other things, so i just thought i would try out crysis, even tho its moving slow as nails, but looks good.

peace

oh and btw, my p3 only has 1.1 speed, and i only have 10gb of internal hd, so most of my games i run off my external. I am buying a new rig as i said in a few days, so i am just enjoying some games on my p3 for the moment.

Whats so funny?

 

[Rock God]

Nope.

 

[MilkyWay]

pretty taxing game is empire total war with all setting cranked up, i dont think i can even do it

crysis i cant max either

gta 4 is horrible to play on pc sure it looks a bit better and the draw distance is better but the coding combined with superior graphics is killer

 

[js01]

This is the best that my rig can get out of this pig of a game, it's somewhat playable but not really especially the level relic I think that level is the hardest level of the game on the system.

 

[RadeonProVega]

33.28 at very high settings with DirectX10, no AA, = thats perfect. You may want to turn sound on low because i really don't see any point in putting it any higher, lol. Also, particles you can put on high or medium, add aax2, you may hit 40fps.

Btw, can you post some snaps please

 

[Rock God]

I'm gonna run the benchmark now.

 

[Rock God]

I just scored 40.525 average.

1680x1050, very high.

You must have a pretty good system then, I'm assuming nvidia they really shine in this game ati not so much.

To be fair i just scored over 40fps average 1680x1050 all very high on my system (ati 4870x2), although that was with the crysis gpu benchmark so i have no screenie of all the settings, for some reason when i run the tool everyone else is using here it just runs the game normally in dev mode and not a demo run :/

I got a 4870 x2.

With an i7 at 4ghz i'd expect nothing less then that, I should of got a q6600 the low multiplier on this chip really hurts it.But still a 4870x2 should be able to do much more then that but this game is so nvidia optimized.

 

[Rock God]

i7 isn't worth it (especially over my system) since I have the latest (if Core i7 didn't come out).

That's with the i7 at a terrible 3.4ghz as i'm troubleshooting a lock-up issue in my system, think it's my wireless card :| Yeah a 4870x2 should be able to do more but other than crysis there isn't a game i've tried with it where i wished i could have more graphics power. I'm not noticing any fps changes with boosting or lowering my i7's speed beyond 1 or 2 fps so it looks like i've reached the limit of my card more than anything.

i7 isn't worth it (especially over my system) since I have the latest (if Core i7 didn't come out).

TBH i7 was an amazing upgrade from my 939 rig with a 2.5ghz dual core athlon 64, and it oc's like a dream. I do agree that at the moment there is no game that properly utilises the 8 threads i7 supports, there's just no other processor out with the same memory bandwidth and overclock potential meaning i7 won't be abottleneck for a looong time (i hope).

wat u r joking right? spund on low limits the amount of sounds ur rig plays at once, if im correct, so thats mean in a big fight explosions may be 'seen' but not 'heard' and same for guns shots

I guess so, sound on low sounds just fine on my end, i can hear everything. I guess you guys may use speakers, but i use 20 dollar headphones and i am set for life

 

[ste2425]

haha i use an old huge 70's stereo, which i love whoreing off by the way if you havn't guessed, i mean sound is more personal to everyone, im sorry if i sounded harsh if your happy with how it sounds then dnt change it by what anyone else says sound to me is more important then video tbh thats why i have a studio mixer as a sound card haha but again sorry for the way i worded my las statement mate

 

[DaveK]

Crysis isn't the hardest game on my system, I seem to have problems playing FEAR...can run Crysis at 1280x1024 at Medium with 6xAA and FEAR struggles at Medium...

 

[ste2425]

ive never played fear is it as good as crysis graphicly? from promo screeny's it looks great but they always hype up and edit photo's for the media
