GTX280 CRYSIS 1920*1200 VH Average FPS Reached to 36.81!

[Eliminator]

iirc my system pulls about 28 FPS at 1920x1200 8xAF with a custom high/very high config in DX9... motion blur, dof are off... this wasnt at max clocks either

I'm more interested to see how new card runs UT3 engine...

Two GTX 280 are enough for Crysis

At 2560x1600 2X AA


If you are hoping that a single GTX 280 will get you to more than 1920x1200, don't kill the messenger as I have to regrettably disappoint you.

Nvidia claims that a single GTX 280 will be enough for Crysis at 1920x1200 that is a standard resolution for most of the 24 inch LCD's.

If you have 30 inch display that supports 2560x1600 you will need two GTX 280 but again we heavily suspect that you won't be able to play with FSAA 4X enabled.

This would be too much even for two GTX 280 cards. It becomes ridiculous as two of these cards combined have 2.8 billion transistors and they will still not be able to bring Crysis to its knees. The best you can hope at 2560x1600 is 2X FSAA with these two cards.

We’ve had a chance to play Crysis with a single card and we can tell that 1920x1200 FSAA 4X with beta drives bring the card to its knees. Ouch, isn’t it.

As expected, 1 card isn't enough to run it with 4xAA. Bandwidth matters.

Are you sure its the bandwidth limitations because hell_of_doom227 says its the crappy coding of the game ..

In this game, you need both (shading power & bw), cause the shader programs are very complex (check the shaders.pak file of the game).

It's like, rendering power = bandwidth / (number of shader instructions per fragment (or flops)).

When you raise the AA level, you need to render more fragments, so, you have more accesses to your memory. If you raise the AF level, you need to read more texels from your textures, to filter them, so, you need more TF units & more bandwidth.

You cannot raise only the shading power and expect the performance to be linear with it. If your memory cannot feed properly the data that your GPU needs, it will be stalled & idling till the data is ready.

This monster has almost 3x times the shading power of a G80, but only a 45% higher bandwidth. GDDR3 in this card is a mistake.

You will see when NDA ends, no point to lie to you or rest of people here.

soo what in hells name is the point of this card then ??

if it can't even play crysis at slightly higher res. than we're used to, what a let down.

there's really no other reason for owning anything more powerful than an 8800
right now.

again, ati looks far more interesting this round.

Really looking forward to the NDA lift. All these rumor and hearsay gets annoying after a while.

Bring on the benchies!!!

[Ambrose]

Why do people want to use AA anyway? It doesn't help that much and the trees and foliage still look awful.

Just use EdgeAA for virtually no performace hit and voila, you have great performace AND great FPS. Problem solved.

As I said i just don't care about Crysis, played for 10 minutes and i will never play again. I want see these cards against UT3 engine cause every damn game is based on UT3.

Fudzilla is about as reliable as some random post on a forum.
