Awesome screens :D

if you install crysis under vista do you get dx10 as defualt?
i dont know if it is dx9 or dx10 im running :)

one thing is sure
performance sucks with a Ultra at very high no AA.
around 30fps at 1024*768

so damn nice isnt the graphics.
must be crappy optimizing

somethings not right wit that. cuz i'm running my Ultra at 1920 x 1200 with no aa and getting around 30. everything is at very high except for shaders. turn your shaders down and it will run alot smoother

sure i have tested that
shaders at high and and i get 50fps.

what the hell
im running the demo maxed out
i got 2 more fps when overclock to 700/1200 :)
its playable at 1024*768 not higher

what settings is that?
must be AA right

[Burnt_Ram]

You can't select them from the graphics menu, you have to modifiy the configuration file in or create a new autoexe file with the new graphics values. The game will load the new graphics settings thus turning on or off any graphics options or features you want.

This is how DX9 users can turn on all the effects that are typically only enabled when using DX10/vista.ok kool. thx for the explanation. i'll have to give that a try one of these days :)

[agentkay]

Can i ask you people something? The HDR settings in High is 2 and the EdgeAA is set to 1. Which are the settings for those settings in Very High settings? HDR = 3 and EdgeAA = 2 ?

Very High settings use 2 for HDR and 1 for EdgeAA.

[pg_ice]

lets face it
we need graphics cards that are 5 times faster to be able to play crysis maxed out at high res.
im out of here maybe i pick up crysis in 2 years lol
who want to play crysis at medium settings when you can have this,not me

This game is pretty impressive. I just started playing the demo in dx10, and I drove a truck on a rock that forms kind of a ramp, and landed on some kind of shed and crushed it.

Something that made me rofl though is how if a tree even gently falls on your truck, it will explode into a giant firestorm blowing you up with it. They ought to rethink that.

I like using the chinese helicopter as a giant weedwacker to take out all the trees :D

I thought that is one of the best screenshots I've ever taken in the Crysis Demo. It's just everything from the lightning/colors to the drama and cool cinematic feel to little detail like the motion blur on the alien's arm. It's taken in 1680*1050 DX10 @ very high settings noAA and it's from my Crysis graphics analysis project (http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=101345). I love it :D

Here's a downsized version for smaller monitors:

Ok. What is this "Ultra High" setting I just heard about. What do you have to tweak to get settings to Ultra High?

Don't know what you're doing with your system but for such an advanced game it's extremely well optimized.
I'm running it with an 8800 Ultra also and am getting an average of 28fps @ 1920x1200 resolution in Vista with all settings on very high except for Motion Blur which is off.

Some settings allow you to go beyond Very High:

http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/6656/crysiscvarsra4.gif

A few that I'm using:

e_water_ocean_soft_particles = 1
e_detail_materials_view_dist_xy = 4096
e_vegetation_sprites_distance_ratio = 1.5
e_view_dist_ratio_vegetation = 50
e_shadows_max_texture_size=2048

I did it at some point, then I deleted my autoexec, so I forgot what the disable motionblur command is.. can you help me out here? :)

I'm pretty anxious to test if the motionblur is in fact the sinner for the horrible mouselag in DX10 because it suddenly stroke me that in the Jericho demo I think played without motionblur because I thought the mouse dragging behind eg. was lagging when I enabled motion blur. So I'd really like to test it and also see how it affects performance.

Anyway I'm off to bed now, it's way late in Denmark, but I'm hoping to try it tomorrow :)

[agentkay]

r_MotionBlur = 0

[Roliath]

Just a quick question, is the full game going to have something harder than the hardest setting in the demo?
I just beat it a few times today on the hardest setting (no reticle/grenade warning/korean langaue) and it is literally the BEST game I have EVER played..
I cannot freaking WAIT for this game to come out!

Now just to tweak it with custom .ini's

[Gaco]

r_MotionBlur = 0
Thanks.. wait if you play without motionblur in DX10 can you tell me with any certaincy how the mouselag is comparatively?

And NOW I'm off to bed! Freakin 5:20 am :(

[MowTin]

For me the game looks better in dx9 than dx10. The palm leaves look bolder in dx10...to bold. I don't know.

[Rakeesh]

Ok so the trucks are uber weak and the helicopters are uber powerful :D

IRL trucks don't blow up if trees fall on them, and helicopters fall out of the sky if they clip trees :D

Very High settings use 2 for HDR and 1 for EdgeAA.

Thnx a lot for the image agentkay :)

For some reason Fraps isn't taking any screensots. I press F10 and it takes the picture but there isn't anything in the folder. Has anyone else had this happen. I'm using 2.92 beta version in Vista 32bit.

What folder do you add these tweaks please?

[[EOCF] Tim]

Has anyone found out where the blood option in the configuration file is?

[Legend]

its playable at 1024*768 not higher


My screens I posted in this thread with fraps are me gaming at 1680X1050 so dont tell me its not playable at anything higher than 1020*768.
