Why are 3x GTX 280s lagging in Crysis a 2560x1600?

[Bokishi]

I reinstall this POS after xmas upgrade only to find that it is only 15 fps in dx10 very high mode at my 30" moniter's native resolution. WTF I got these 3-teraflop meat patties that get owned by a two year old game, that can't be right. is it because of my dual core processor? I thought Crysis only uses 2 cores. Every other game runs fantastic. can someone help me pinpoint the problem

What drivers are you using?Is SLI on?!?

Well even though it's two years old it's still the prettiest and most demanding game out there. So even three 280GTXs in tri-sli won't run it at that resolution - not even a core i7 would help you there.

You should try the CCC custom crysis config to see if that would make the game playable! :)

Yikes so still so long after u need a damn NASA to play at that res :(

its a vidmem limitation, thats why performance drops off so steeply after 1920x1200.

You're wrong, the one with GTX 280's in 3-WAY SLI sure can play at Veryhigh settings in 2560x1600. I don't know what's up with the graph you posted, but according to guru3d witch is a trustable site you get nearly 40 fps on those settings, not 14 lol.


Check it out!

rofl, crysis is one hellova demanding game. I've yet to see a system that can max this game out with full ingame settings (ya, including 16xQAA) I believe you should try different drivers or something else, unfortunately am no expert so don't ask me. I just wanted to prove my point!

Cheers...

Trust me.

Thank you! That fixed every level except the snow level, which still lags. Any fixes for the snow level?

Unoptimized POS is the correct answer.

Nothing constructive, I'm just trolling.
Fixed.

Trolling indeed, did I hurt the fanboys feelings? lol

I dont understand why people want Crysis to run anything above 5 fps anyway. Lets face it...the game as a game is awful but the visuals are beautiful....so far the only reason i have seen in why people buy this game is to take pretty screenshots of beaches and palm tree's at max settings..sometimes with added texture mods etc to make it even more prettier.

Now can someone hand me a fireproof jacket so the flaming i get in the following posts dont burn too much. :D

[Soetdjuret]

go home and play your cod4 kid...

[Logical]

Might have known youd be the first Soet..well played you big baby.

I guess the truth really does hurt :)

[JasonPC]

Ah you just can't get much better trolling than on nvnews ;)

[Soetdjuret]

naah... I love you guys :)
