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

[spearman914]

Whats the point if not even a 4870x2 can handle that? I mean thats pretty stupid..Can it or not?

Well he just ask for mod's to make crysis look better. And i did. But Very High Settings to Ultra High settings make a 1-4fps difference so.......

 

[ste2425]

crysis runs very smooth on my system at very high settings getting no lower then 25 fps

Far Cry 2 can run like a piece of crap too, mostly due to pagefile problems though. Its not hard to keep it a 60 fps with all ultra.

There's some optimization problems with it as well, DX10 runs better and all but x2 AA running better with no AA is just weird. Although I haven't played the patched versions because after I bought it I could only last 2 hours before noticing the annoying spawn rate of enemy outposts.

Aaah, I thought I was the only one with that weird AA issues. In my case it played better with 4x than without. 2xAA didn't really help too much compared to 4x though. Anyway it's really an unnoptimiced crap, that no matter what settings I used it would simply run like crap sometimes and sometimes just well. I don't know if it was because of the pagefile, but I don't think so, because very few people may have a bigger and better pagefile system than the one I have implemented. It might be the game is just crappy handling it no matter what though...

EDIT: Who cares anyway? It took me just about the same time to notice the spawn annoyance, it just took me longer to stop playing it, I guess. 47% of the game.

I'm gonnago on a wild guess and say that it's your cpu if indeed you are running it on stock and if 0xAA is trully slower than 4xAA. Simply by increasing AA you offload the cpu strain to the gfx instead.

The page-file problem only made the game stutter but it wasn't a big issue to the point it effected gameplay so it wuz all gewdddd. I found it disturbing that I spent $80 AUD to play the game up to %14 only lol but yeah hopefully future patches will make me raise that percentage and multiplayer is just bad, empty australian servers and over 250 ping to play against international players. ****SIGH****

Well these are pretty old but, its me playing around in -devmode. Here is all very high DX10 1680x1050, 64bit, AA x2; r_displayinfo 1 is on. The nuke, moar effects are beautifully done along with the character models!

Hmm... hat or no hat?


HAT!


This is my fictional idea of killing someone


MORE MOARRR!!!

I think maybe it's the fact that you have a quad but i dont get the same performance in crysis as you get in those screenshots.

 

[AltecV1]

i had a huge stutter problem in crysis with my E6400 and warhed was unplayeble!!!but e8400 solved that problem

 

[kyle2020]

You know what game my 260 struggles with some times? Titan quest. No joke, haha, everything maxxed out and sometimes entering portals / with some mages after me I lag a bit.

 

[Binge]

I also have to say my system ran Crysis @ 1680x1050 with no problems and fps did not drop under 30. A GTX280 is overkill . Knock me all you want for the resolution, but 22" is plenty for how close I sit to my screen.

@Kyle. That's probably not your vid card

 

[boredgunner]

I believe GTA IV is the most taxing game, even though it looks mediocre at best. That's how bad it's optimized. At 1680 x 1050, I run Crysis at 35-60 FPS with my high end graphics mod and custom ToD. This is how the game looks.

Warhead runs the same, save the first level where I go below 30 FPS sometimes. Optimization could be better, but it's no where near as bad as GTA IV.

 

[DrPepper]

GtaIV is only taxing if you have a dual core. The game recommends at least a tri core.

farcry 2 is harder on my system than anything else, even crysis, but I think its cause its coded like crap.

wow, farcry 2 went sweet on my rig, @ 1920x1080 everything on ultra, i was very supprised it was smooth as silk. with aax4

Come to think of it i never relly notice if aa is truned on on my setup otherthan eather a minor or sometimes major drop in fps. i think my Screen might have somthing to do with that maybe?

Did you like farcry 2?

 

[troyrae360]

yea, i thought it was good. very diffrent from Far Cry though
finished it within a week

Yeah Everyone else seems to hate it, I myself did not think it was that bad. It was fun to play for awhile.

 

[troyrae360]

yea, ill probley never play it again, but i liked it. some games will remain on my system forever eg crysis, assasins cread, COD 4-5 Grid Dirt.

 

[troyrae360]

Age of Conan Has Some pretty amazing GFX i stoped playing around Xmas though, hopefully when i play again they have DX10. that was a Hard game on some systems. there was always people complaning about there FPS probley cos they thought there mid range card could crank like a new high end at the time,

Probably most of them came from WoW and thought it would be the same.

 

[niko084]

I dunno man, you can taxing and horribly optimized, play NWN2, even with my current rig I can only manage about 15-20fps at maximum settings, which is completely ridiculous @ 1280x1024...

I can however run Warhead 1920x1080 Enthusiast with 2x AA for part of the game smooth almost 30ish fps.

 

[chris89]

Well i found FSX to be miles more taxxing then Crysis, but crysis is by far the most for an FPS.

Yeah he's right. One of the requirements for FSX is alot of patience because you will need to fly at 10fps from heathrow to Glasgow.

Try Runescape On High Detail and High Res on a Highly populated area... You'll be suprised

I think maybe it's the fact that you have a quad but i dont get the same performance in crysis as you get in those screenshots.

I ran these with the 9.2 drivers, I'm not sure if it has the quad optimization but it does run alot better in crysis dx10 than 8.12 drivers if you haven't tried it yet I say give the driver a benchtest

EDIT: Sorry what I meant by old is a week or two ago, I don't really keep track of time as I'm an unemployed part time student atm lol.

Lol is 1680x1050 the new 1024x768? I only sit 17" inches from my 22" monitor and its just like watching a 54 inch LCD at my lounge room its quite blinding sometimes with vistaglazz on and I occasionally gotta correct gamma and brightness for some games bcoz my eye hertz.

Probably most of them came from WoW and thought it would be the same.

HAHA..

I went from WoW to Age of Conan because of my new rig and sad to say WoW was still the winner.

Age of Conan = lost population **A CRAP LOAD** servers are ghost towns.

Tabul Rasa = Shutdown as of 25th of February

Granada Espada = Completely free to play along with many other korean made MMO's. Ragnarok Online is surviving with p2p.

I talk alot, but I would have liked to play Age of Conan alot longer, but I couldn't take the lack of fans and players missing in the game..

This is at 1280x1024 low to medium settings, i a solid 15-25fps.

If i set the visuals up to all medium, i get 11-18fps. Now if i set it up to medium to high i get 9-13fps. All at stock settings.

So the bottom line here, Crysis and warhead is kinda demanding. I mean, if i OC my card i might gain a few more fps, but i am sure if i had a 8500gt or even the 8600gt i would be able to play crysis at medium to high without any trouble. So crysis and warhead is kinda demanding, but not what people think. And this is from someone using a p3 with 600mhz. I can only wonder if my speed was up to 1ghz.
If i was never planning to buy a secondary rig, i would sure enough go ahead and upgrade my speed. But oh well , 600mhz is fine.
