Crysis Framerate Benches with 2gb vs 4gb ram?
 

Anyone know of any?

I would like to see some aswell.
this had to be done on just Vista 64 thuogh since there's a performance difference between x86 & x64 as it is.

I don't think you will see an actual FPS difference, the game will just play much smoother and hitch less, I noticed this when I went from 2GB to 4GB.

Re: Crysis Framerate Benches with 2gb vs 4gb ram?
 

Less hitiching will generally translate to a little better framerates in either of the CPU/GPU benchmarks. i wanna see that & make sure there is a difference.

Traditionally it never seems to translate into an FPS difference until you hit other limitations. But it's worth a try.

I just came from 2gb and I didn't notice an increase in performance, but load times in all my currently installed game halved roughly. I also noticed exiting games is lightning quick now, before the Vista would come to a halt exiting The Witcher for 30secs, now it's out done and dusted in a split second. :D

Do you get less stuttering when playing Crysis say at high or v.high ? esp with grenade explosions or when entering different areas ..

Re: Crysis Framerate Benches with 2gb vs 4gb ram?
 

Yeah, definitely less stutter, especially removed the stutter before I detonate a High Explosive.

Re: Crysis Framerate Benches with 2gb vs 4gb ram?
 

Amazing! yeah i get that stutter before deteonating HG's more than often.
i might seriously consider upgrading my RAM even if XP/Vista 32-bit will not read them all.

It's worth it. Vista on a whole feels a lot more responsive with 4.

Re: Crysis Framerate Benches with 2gb vs 4gb ram?
 

Hmmm I never experienced shuttering with 3GB in Crysis at very high settings when here was explosions and in heavy firefights.

Re: Crysis Framerate Benches with 2gb vs 4gb ram?
 

Yeah.

Think of it in terms of average FPS.

If the benchmark records 30-40fps 10 times per second for a few minutes then averages the results together, a few drops to 1-5 fps (a hitch\stutter) will hardly make any difference in the final average but will be very obvious in gameplay.

About the only way to show the results of a memory upgrade would probably be a line graph like [H] uses, to show the framerate throughout the entire benchmark. Ideally, more memory would result in fewer low spikes on a graph.

Fraps can record data like that. It probably wouldn't be too hard to do.
