Will a single 260GTX run Crysis @ 1280x1024 dx10 max?

SeriTonin · 09-25-08, 10:33 PM

This would be with 4gb of ram and a e8500, I currently have a 9800gt and am thinking about moving to a 260gtx, not looking for aa/af

Right now I can get 1024x768 on my rig in dx, vista kills performance with this game, in XP I was able to do 1280. I figure with gta4, legend, mirrors edge, etc, it's time for a modest upgrade anyway, just wanted to know if this would be enough for crysis and warhead?

Thanks.

No... It won't be enough unfortunately.

I beg to differ, I play Crysis and Crysis Warhead just fine @ max details (no aa) @ 1600x1200. Sure it gets down to low 20's alot but overall it's a great experience.

Really? How come nobody can play it with a single GTX280, barely with 2x280s and you can play it with one 260? Is your 260 magic?

Oh, please use the Crysis benchmark tool and provide proof of the Harbor/Assault timedemo on max details please, which is actual gameplay. Thank you...

No, I'm positive you are over exagerrating, go look at the benches, come on, barely playable with 280's in SLI lol. One thing to note that I notice alot of people that have a 260, 280, or 2 of them have LCD's that run at a higher res than mine which is @ 1600x1200 so I can imagine it running slower for them. I know unplayable, and that was definitely when I tried playing it even on High settings on my 8800GTS 320MB, now that was unplayable. Then I replaced that with the 8800GTS 512MB and stepped up to High @ 1600x1200 and played through the entire game and it was overall a smooth experience except the winter stage where I had to drop it down. The GTX 260 is a hell of a card, my framerate went up significantly over the 8800GTS and I stepped it up to Very High and played through smoothly. Multiplayer is even smoother too.

Man, that's not even possible. The frame rate dips to the mid 10s with a 280... Its worse with a 260... I'm sorry but the whole INTERNETS say one thing and I also have personal experience. And you claim another... Over at HardOCP they played Crysis on High with some settings on Medium for a 260... And you play with everything on V.High... Sure...

I don't think it'd get that low. Lowest I recall seeing on my 260 was in Crysis Warhead on the very opening scene it got down to 15.

Yes a GTX 260 is good enough to run Crysis and Crysis Warhead, here is a review with 14 graphics cards included 9800GT and GTX 260 ran Crysis Warhead on DirectX 10 at settings from Enthusiast to Mainstream Quality without AA/AF. GTX 260 is as fast as 4870X2 and faster than 9800GT.
