FINALLY you can play the best looking game ever at absurdly high settings! God, it was like torture until now I'm sure.

[gerardfraser]

LOL it was torture,I could max it out at low rez,but never @1920x1200,like most, spent a tonne of money.Bring on Crysis 2.
Really though I love the game and played Crysis everyday since it came out,also play Warhead everyday.For me no game draws me in like these games.

Heres how good Crysis is,it broke my WOW crack habit of 15 hr days for 1.5 years.

[NarcissistZero]

I can run it in 1920, 4xAA with everything on high, which is good enough for me. Glad you're enjoying the game.

did the new patch help anything?
i haven´t patched it yet

also was 64-bit better than 32-bit(XP) vs 64 vista?

There pretty close in FPS 32 and 64.32 I would say is faster.Just that with the CFG I use is better then Enthusiast and with the 285 cards playing 32 bit I would get the low FPS dips.Switched to 64 bit for the hell of it,and then it was smooth no more of those dips for me.

[trivium nate]

i get like 15 fps in both crysis games on the highest settings :)

[AngelGraves13]

I have yet to test it on my new rig...can't wait.

[JasonPC]

Dude... what's with the yellow and green? my eyes

[Dreamweavernoob]

With a Q9550 @ 3.6Ghz, 4Gb Ram @ 1000Mhz 5-5-5 and a GTX 295 @ 1920x1200 high quality is this game playable?

is a GTX 285 a lot less playable?

many thanks

The GTX285 OWNS this game! :)

[XDanger]

When a card can max out Crysis on my monitor with the minimum frame-rate being the same as the refresh-rate then I would say its been owned, Not until then.

But then you pump up the DX10 effects to make it look better with a mod and you're back the square 1.

Well I have a 24" widescreen monitor and game at 1920x1200 and I consider 30FPS average on max settings pretty damn good! Granted its not 60FPS = 60Hz but its damn awesome seeing as untill recently that game took a hell of a lot of power to do that (Tri-SLi and Quad-SLi).

Only a fool would argue with that, I think by the time cards can make Crysis run the way I suggested the game will be irrelevant.

Much like with FarCry. By the time you could play that game at 120 FPS no one cared anymore an it looked like poo compaired to what was out... :p

[ASUSEN7900GTX]

i wonder why it is that when i start Crysis W it starts on level 1 and not as it should go to the main menu and it is out of control too the character flies and i can´t control it if i quit to menu and try start a new game same thing.
Why is this?

[trivium nate]

I did some pretty good benchmarks on crysis earlier with the new setup but once the evga step up stuff goes through ill get my GTX 260! and post back :)

[gerardfraser]

Just did a bench on old Crysis with new machine.
