So how much better does Warhead really run?

[Yaboze]

Any benchmarks?

[Hapatingjaky]

Runs worse. And thats all i am going to say, you can check out my pics and quick benchies on the rage3d forum.

[Dreamingawake]

Whatever ! I've seen people say it runs worse and people say it runs better.

I guess that can only mean no one really knows what they're talking about !?

[XP_GUN]

Runs better for me. The FPS does not drop out from under me like they did in Crysis :D

Yea its better for me:
Sorry for some banding in screens: the orig were 2.5mb and I couldn't figure out a way to make it better.

Runs better for me also (lee63) @ DX10, everything maxed, 4xaa, 1920x1200 :D it never dip below 30 fps.
BTW I have a couple of 280s + 9450 @ 3.6.

[hell_of_doom227]

1680*1050 DX10 everything maxed, AA2x, vsync OFF...game runs awesome :D
Crysis runs here good as hell too. SLI scales perfectly, amazing.


I'M SO HAPPY WITH GTX280 SLI SETUP (nana2)

A question .. the screens of this thread are in entusiast ? Because the look worse than Crysis in the screens . In this forum are many screens of Crysis better than these screens - the game in many screens looks like Crysis in medium

[Dreamingawake]

yup runs wayyyy better here also !!!!!!!! lovin' it !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Quarter]

If you don't believe, play the game and tell me it doesn't run better. Everyone I've talked to has also agreed.

[Dreamingawake]

i dunno i find the textures wayy more detailed and i really like the new lighting system.

everything has a very refined and definitive look about it.

it's quite nice, especially with AA :)

and yes, it definitely DEFINITELY runs better than Crysis..

there's NO question.. Crysis couldn't handle near the same amount of action at a given time that takes place in Warhead..

[AngelGraves13]

Is the gun texture banded or is it supposed to be camouflage? I get the same thing.

[loafer87gt]

Runs worse than Crysis for me as well. 1680x1050 at mainstream is about as high of details settings I can run of my 8800GTX / QX6700@3.0Ghz. I am running Vista 64 as well, with 4GB's of ram. If I raise the detail settings to gamer, I get framerates in the low 20's. Enthusiast settings bring things down to mid to low teens. I wonder why Crytek removed the 64bit exe? I used to get framerates and sharper textures running the Crysis with this version of the executable. I wonder if they will add this back witha future patch? Anyways, the game is going to sit on my drive until my next hardware upgrade, it's just not visually enjoyable as is on mainstream settings.

Bah.

[ATi]

crysis looked better imo look at this crysis DX10maxed settings no aa/af

[jAkUp]

Runs a lot better for me. 1920x1200 4x/8x is over 40FPS :D

[methimpikehoses]

Runs a lot better for me. 1920x1200 4x/8x is over 40FPS :D

With teh 3 280's right?

[TheANIMAL]

@ AT, your screens dont look that good, you have no AF at all?

[Zeus666]

wow really nice texture there, the best texture i have ever seen
/sarcasm

no i dont :( ... dont think my 8800gts can run this with af/aa ;)waiting for my MSI4870x2 to get here(nana2) Crysis wars is great been playing it all day:) just needs more full severs :captnkill:

[JasonPC]

Anyone notice the "Enthusiast" options aren't grayed out in DX9? But in Crysis Wars they are.

[slaWter]

Runs a lot better for me. 1920x1200 4x/8x is over 40FPS :D

I don't think AF is enabled. With the shader setting on Enthusiast POM is enabled instead.

[lapino]

I get the same terrible screens and performance at enthusiast on my pc, 1680x1050. This is on a e6600 + 4870 (8.9 drivers). Lots of texture popup, seems to use no AF at all, lots of vegetation and other stuff popping up and not that great performance. Hope it's a driver bug but this is WAY worse than Crysis! Very disappointed.

[tornadog]

I am running Warhead in Dx9 mode(Vista32) and I am getting lot of stuttering during combat scenes. I also noticed a lot of hard disk activity. I tried at 1280 x 1024, 2x AA and Enthusiast setting. Also where do you turn AF on?

Is my 2GB RAM the culprit?

LOL Jonelo, no no no... It has better graphics, just that the res is so high in those screens it doesn't look that good.
