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

ste2425 · Mar 4, 2009

ultra high is a dx10 only feature but is there a way to get it running in 9 just minus the dx 10 bits? or is the whole new textures and everything else ultra high enables dx10?

How does your current CPU do with your 4870x2? AMD has a few mad programs and features that apparently boosts gaming, I was planning on changing to AMD for this but didn't know if it was worth it.

Fusion etc.

Great, I love the 9850 its a Great CPU. What are you looking at doing?

So I've been on crymod's website the past couple days testing some of the finished and wip mods. Im very impressed with some of the mods they have on there. I plan on doing a thread this evening to show the performance increases and overall quality increases in the game.

I was just going to run fraps and post before and after screens and fps's. Do you guys have any suggestions of additional tests or info that I should include. I will be doing these tests on two different machines. One will be a lower end machine with a visiontek HD3650oc and the other with a 9600gt.

Hardest game to run on my system is still the games that need 512MB or more of Video memory to fully run.

The rest of my system is beast, the video card is a real put down.

At least TF2 doesn't.

I was thinking of going Phenom II somewhere in the future and I pretty much think any ATI Card would run heaps smoother on an AMD platform. So its just an idea for now.

I've played it on a 4870X2 and it could max the settings but still lagged like hell at airports.

RevengE · Mar 4, 2009

Really? Mine only lags a bit when I have the airport traffic up high.

Have you made sure every slider is up and not just set to ultra high and that its in 32bit colour mode

I had mine set in 16 bit for ages and didn't notice but I got amazing fps.

RevengE · Mar 4, 2009

I am pretty sure yeah? But reguardless it's a very intense game.

Could be all the texture patches i've stuck on mine.

RevengE · Mar 4, 2009

Yeah true once you start adding those patches it gets real laggy.

Some of the mods I found allow me to get better fps at higher resolution and also the quality of the graphics in the game are noticeably different.

I'm currently using this mod with my hd3650 and it looks really good and it runs smooth.

Woah wtf??? 16 bit = 65535 colors, 32 bit = 4,294,967,295 colors and u see no difference?

AltecV1 · Mar 4, 2009

I haven't compared two pictures but I'm glad I didn't notice

Its not a colour rich game anyway. You would notice on crysis for example.

lolz. Set any HD wallpaper as ur desktop. Then take a pic of it at 32-bit, another in 16-bit. Compared them. Notice anything, in game I have to agree u'll see little difference because of the animations.

I found some 4870 config for Crysis on the interwebz. So Crysis runs like butter on my system nowadays (also thanks to updated ATI drivers).
