Why do people say that Crysis is impossible to run?

Albo · 01-14-09, 04:40 PM

I have a Shatty CPU, and everything else is bad, the only thing that's decent is my Video Card. The 9600 GSO. (Read sig for a little more info) (also this is overclocked 24/7)

Anyways, I got the game and I played it with "optimal settings" at medium, and got 30FPS And was thinking I could go a lot higher. So I tried High and got around 20-30FPS. I didn't try Very High yet because IMO High looks stunning. Ill just keep it that.

Any thought?

It was impossible to run when it came out, but this is two generations of video cards later.

You do not get 30FPS on that setup in your sig.

You dip to crazy low minimums on that.

Otherwise, prove it with a youtube video.

No i don't

also, I've made videos before and when I use fraps My FPS drop down another 10-15 FPS so then I get around 10FPS which is stupid

do you want screenshots, but then again those arent very reliable

Also, like I said I have overclocked 24/7
So now my CPU is at 2.2GHz

Forgot to ask, what res you running it at?

If it's lower than 1920x1200, than ignore what I said before, below it doesn't really matter.

Crysis isn't that good so who cares.

Maybe fraps is taxing his system too much...

Nah... FRAPs does the same for me... it typically cuts framerate in half. I've never owned a rig that didn't suffer from this. And everybody I've talked to has the same problem when recording a video with FRAPs.

Yup, FRAPS cuts alotta frames off, except if you have a high end CPU with 4 cores, then FRAPS can be offloaded to another core, and since Crysis uses quad core anyway (correct me if I'm wrong there) it'll definatly cut his frames.

And Crysis is awesome, btw.
