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

[RadeonProVega]

Alright i did some more benchmarks, take a look:

System specs to the left ,8400GS 512MB PCI, 175.16 drivers(anyone using a 8400gs, please use these drivers, anything else creates a major bottleneck) i also OC my card, even tho at stock it seems to be the same similar performance, only slightly better when OC
http://gpuz.techpowerup.com/09/06/21/383.png

1280x1024 AAX2, low to medium settings to high settings(physics is the only thing on high)
18-30fps, never drops below 18 even when fighting, but it does drop to around 16 at some of the cut scenes. Not bad considering my card lol , ain't the best, but finally playable lol. I have to wonder what performance i will get at 1024x768 no AA low to medium hmmmmm, anyways

I am buying the full versions soon, but in the demo i am getting some massive sound stuttering and weird sound issues, not sure what the problem is tho. I may need to get a sound card which i will do soon. Only seems to happen in Crysis, not Warhead.

crysis not hard anymore

crysis not hard anymore

actually i believe it is, but not as everyone thought. I have warhead install, doing some benchmarks soon, however do not install the patch , because when you do it decreases performance big time. At 1280x1024 on warhead, if i look up in the sky i get around 40, but with the patch install, it barely hits 10.

Here is my warhead benchmarks:

Here are 2 more, this time with warhead at 1280x1024 aax2, all mainstream settings, note: physics on gamer, and shadows on low., OC slight on GPU, getting around 15-35fps. More then crysis at high settings. Note 2: Using a 3450 Radeon Config and my 8400gs PCI.

Definitely not the hardest on your system, but I think that Empire: Total War maxed out with a screen full of soldiers and ships and stuff can really humble a system.

well, after some testing with some new hardware - trifire; 4870x2 + 4870, everything at stock clocks (GPUs and CPU) - Crysis and Crysis: Warhead are extremelly playable at enthusiast/DX10 settings at 1920x1200 (smooth as butter, TBH . . . no stuttering, or sputtering). not sure my exact FPS, though (don't have on-screen enabled), but I'd guess at least a minimum of 40FPS+ to be this smooth . . .



STALKER: Clear Sky v1.5.09, though, continues to remain the rig killer - 1920x1200, DX10.1, maxed out in-game settings brings my setup into the 1x/2x FPS range.


I'm wondering how stressful the new Call of Pripyat is going to be . . . hopefully no worse than Clear Sky

this is why i call the game unoptimised, it runs pretty fast on low-medium, but turning to to high (or very high) it suddenly takes a machine 5x as powerful for 10% better quality

Seems like Crysis & Warhead Is only demanding (recording or non recording ) in Vista or Win 7, unless you have super high end cards. Because with my 9500gt or 4670 i am getting like 30% decrease in performance at the same settings or even lower , ugh. It plays and records perfectly with XP, but with vista or win 7, horrible all together. Guess i will just play crysis games in xp, because i never played to buy any high end card.

I will see how they run when i get a dual core, but i really don't think it will make a difference or will it?

Cryostasis is the new system killer, stalker is second.

I agree I max everything out and turn on advance physics and only get 8-14 FPS.


IT LOOKS SO NICE that I keep it on. I just don't play it though, beat once and that was enough. Would play it again with the advance physics if it didn't lagg.

I think I'm getting about the same FPS in Crysis and GTA IV, maxed out with max AA @ 1920x1080, which is about 30FPS average. Teetering on the brink of unplayability for me, but GTA IV looks fairly smooth at 30 frames, whereas other games are jumpy.

Also may I mention that there's a different between a game being a challenge to max out, and a game being broken. If 3 295's and an i7 still only get 20FPS in a dx.10 game, then it's broken. I don't really know of any like that though (except Crysis, I can't say I've seen anyone say they get over 60FPS),

Right now with rig in system specs im maxing everything out 1920x1200 but i cant turn on AA except with older games and Shift.


Im in the middle of playing Clear Sky now (red forest) and i have everybody maxed but still no AA. I can turn it on but about 20 minutes of gameplay and my frames drop. *shakes fist at old cpu*

I can actually run crysis Warhead with higest detail on 1024x1280 without any problems on my
g71 but i cant even play GTAIV higher than low to medium quality on 800x600 and it gets on my nerves i mean come on its suppose to be faster as i feel the crysis has better graphics than gta iv atleast

GTAIV requires more processing power from the CPU than crysis. Even though both utilize 3 cores.

 

[Jaffakeik]

its because GTA4 has poor performance and got lot of patching need.To stabilize its performance on PC systems.

 

[PP Mguire]

What was said, GTA4 has to be worse optimized than Crysis

 

[Bjorn_Of_Iceland]

Empire Total War on max settings. Really chugs. Crysis is bearable.

Although up unitl now, I dont get it why people say Crysis is not optimized or poorly coded.. in my pov framerate was fairly understandable considering the size of the maps, the objects on screen, the AI at hand, and the non "blocky" collision detection.

Yea I can run crysis @ 1920x1080 at around 30 fps on ultrahigh settings No AA...

...But Empier total war just kills my comp when everything is turned up, Its one heavy game!!
