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

Bokishi · 12-28-08, 04:33 AM

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

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...

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.
