View Full Version : Crysis at absolutely highest settings

So suggest a configuration that will play crysis at highest settings on vista without any slowdowns or stuttering and smooth gameplay....that will be the target for my new build...
Not possible. There is NO hardware that can do this and there won't be for a while.

Cross your fingers for a new high-end GPU in Feb.

A quad-core at 3+Ghz, 4GB system ram, and a D9E (if it's going to be twice as fast as a GTX) should get there but thats of course just a prediction. You can mess around with a lot of cvars and the LOD and will probably be able to bring a D9E to single digits as well.

This might do it. :D

I bet your rig gets a higher frame rate in crysis than that one...

Your best bet at the moment or at least before the end of the year is Triple SLI'd 8800 Ultras........

Crysis is terrible coded game. I played a few missions before i uninstalled it, i don't want bother with slide show and medium/low settings are unacceptable for me cause in that case looks like crap. Not even next gen of video card will handle this right. Simply put if you had 2XQuad Setup with Quad 8800Ultra with 8GB of RAM it would run like crap because crappy coded game doesn't work well with the available hardware.

You never give up do you?

It's not matter of giving up, it's a fact. I really don't like to pretend and think Crytek is a company of Gods who created this perfectly coded, well optimized game and the truth is totally different. They have good designers and ideas, but AI and Physics in this game totally suck for example. I think AI and Physics is so crappy coded that it's causing a lot of performance problems in this game. Also, motion blur is wrongly used in this game as well as many other things...

COD4 for PC is very good, as is Orange Box (read TF2).

Timeshift, Bioshock (even though i don't like this type of game but that's a matter of taste), UT3, Lost Planet....

It's not that the game is coded poorly...it's that the game is WAY ahead of the current hardware available. There is nothing wrong with the game at all IMO, except for a few collision/physics bugs.

It actually runs pretty damn good despite is huge graphic demand. It's mainly all GPU dependant as even my FX-60 isn't seeing high usage. It scales very nicely with SLI (about 66% increase in FPS here) so they definitely did something right with this game. As I stated in another thread I can pull 1920 x 1200 high settings with 2x AA and have a 30 fps average. When the 9x series comes out I would be the least bit suprised it can run these same settings at over 30 fps. Like you said it's just released before the hardware that can max it out was. The devs were pretty close seeing as how they are only about 3 months early even though the game has probably been in development for 3 years.

So because the game doesn't run at 100fps at max settings it's poorly coded? Did it ever occur to you that maybe it wasn't meant to be playable at highest settings on today's hardware? No, I suspect it didn't cross your mind. Instead you'd rather go on and on about how it's poorly coded.

I'm pretty sure that the AI and Physics has NOTHING to do with the "crappy" performance. The game is totally GPU dependant. How does the AI and Physics suck? Play the game on Delta, the AI is awesome. As for the physics...I don't know what you mean by "they suck". It's not realistic? I find it really good.
Personally I LOVE the way they implemented the motion blur. Best I've seen on any game.

Actually it's the opposite, it uses far less CPU cycles than other games with less advanced AI and less physics.
It always made me wonder how a developer can create a game with higher demands than the newest technology/hardware available... I mean, what if it breaks at full settings highest res, etc. No one will know for years, because the hardware won't be available until then.... can I get a refund then? :D
Crysis is a beautiful game, well at least I think it it could be, when I finally get away from my 6800 OC I'll let ya know ;)

Timeshift, Bioshock (even though i don't like this type of game but that's a matter of taste), UT3, Lost Planet....
If you think that UT3 is a wellcoded game you need a reality check,its the house that bugs built atm where nothing really works as it should.Its a rushjob brought to the market before its ready,sure it runs fine (apart from locking solid from time to time)but walk up close to any surface and you will find the reason why its smooth,blurry washed out textures even at max details.I'm on the second beta patch atm (234mb) but still a ton of issues remains to be fixed.

Idd,UT3 loads both my cores at 100% a majority of the time,cant say i like that at all.

Hah. Have you heard about the Aegia PhysX maps for UT3. Try and tell me that is "well coded." HAHA. The physics and AI seem to have really little impact on performance in Crysis. I can trash quite a few buildings and mow down a bunch of trees, and performance seems the same to me. The game is not stressing the CPU, it's stressing the GPU. The only way they can "code it better" is to make less use of advanced shaders, but that's what makes the game look so good! Obviously AI and Physics have nothing to do with the GPU... I think you just like making outrageous statements based on no fact because you just don't like the game.

lmao. it certainly doesn't have anything to do with the CE2 being intensive, late drivers/SDK by nVIDIA or the fact that DX10 API is still fairly new. no sir, it's all crappy coding :rolleyes:
you're an idiot.

yeah if you think crysis is coded poorly.. uhm.. lol.. yeah, you need to
seriously consider Crytek and what they've been doing for that last several years...
this game is full scalable, that's probably aside from the graphics, one of
the best things it's got going for it..
in 6 months, or a year, when people have the hardware people will be running
it at it's highest settings, and it will run without at hitch..
until then, it's actually VERY playable in DX 9 with the DX 10 content enabled..
(with the right hardware) and it's utterly amazing gameplay and graphics..
(30+ fps average with tweaking)
and for those who understand gaming, and are able to look at things without
expecting to have the big bang all over again, should be damn well impressed..
hell, even if you don't understand gaming..
