Gaming Crysis on very high

[Mewgia]

Yeah, I just did the DX9 hack and it looks the same as when I had it on DX10, and runs a bit faster. I'll do some more benchies later.


[EDIT] Did benchmarks after doing the high to very high hack, and set the tester to DX9. I got an increase of about 6 fps and it looks the same as it did on DX10. Strangely it used more ram, about a gig this time while on DX10 it used around 750 MBs. I have 2GBs installed right now so it's not a big deal.


I am afraid of what the natural mod will do to my performance, but it's very pretty...

Im getting my new computer this week!

Wondering how well It'll play Crysis!

Intel Quad Core 2,4 Ghz
4GB Ram
8800GTS 512mb
Asus Striker II Formula, nForce-780i SLI ,Socket-775, DDR2, 3xPCI-Ex
Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit

Im thinking High would be right?

Vista+64bit=megaepichugefail

Seriously, if you know what's good for you don't get vista 64-bit. Infact i would say not to get vista at all, but if you have to get it, get 32-bit. 64-bit Windows (be it XP or Vista) has terrible compatibility. It's also really slow, and basically a piece of bullcrap.

Vista x64 has much more support than XP x64 did, in fact it is what most gamers use. It is a little faster for CPU tasks, and the compatability is very good. I used it for 8 months without an issue.

Oh yeah and about racism and stuff? Just ignore it. I'm an egyptian muslim, comedians, movies, tv shows etc. refer to us as terrorists practically everyday but i don't care. Hell look at Call Of Duty 4. It's set in the future, and apparently it's US and UK vs. Middle East and Russia. If a game came out which is against british people, or american people, having one of them become the next hitler-like germany, it would be an outrage. It would probably get banned from the US / UK. Which is ofc unfair, but then again why care? It's just a game, nobody takes it seriously and goes like 'HAH! TAKE THAT KOREAN BASTARD' or whatever, and anyone who does do that needs professional help.

still though, it uses more ram and stuff, and doesn't give that much in return either. What exactly IS the extra difference between 32 bit vista and 64 bit vista?

Well the ill informed.

First:
x64-bit Vista runs all around twice as smooth as vista and can multi-task far better. So it's ideal for Crysis.

Second:
The following spec could/should/would run Crysis on max at least 40 FPS.

Intel Core2 Extreme Quad
SLI 2x 9800 GTX 1GB version
4x2GB PC2 6400(I don't suggest DDR3 quite yet due to high latency times)
ASUS Maximus Extreme Mobo
At least a 1k watt power supply
And bare minimum a 64gb Raptor for seek time and high cache.

BAM

Crysis, IMO, max graphics, and still, like 40 FPS.

Side note, the reason you go quad is because of needing just about 1 core per key game element IE:
1 for AI
1 for graphic rendering
1 for physics
1 for your damn OS running in the background with all other processes.

Oh yeah and I'd say an AGEIA PhysX card would be nice for getting those frames.

 

[Westside]

Ugh, at this rate we are gonna have to wait another generation before we see 60fps. 9800 was too much ass of a rush, we're gonna have to see if ATI takes advantage of this.

Crysis has support for the PhysX?

 

[fenthwick]

Nope. It's not the CPU that will cripple your system/fps. As long as you have a decent dual core then you'll be fine on that front.

Crysis aint coded that way, you have no idea what you are talking about.

Again, that is so wrong.

That was a load of bull. Most programs and games can barely take full advantage of 2 cores.
Also, most of that stuff is done by the GPU.

 

[fischju]

Nvidia has bought PhysX, and have perfected the system for use with their graphics card. If the cryengine is updated with this, expect to see much better performance for the 9000 series cards, which will also greatly reduce CPU usage for those effects.

Crysis does use 4 cores though.

 

[stormwolf18]

Physx card was a failure. When it was release, there wasnt any significant boost in the framerate, so I wouldnt expect any impact with Crysis. Just like having 8gigs of ram, you wont see any benefit.

Yes Crysis does support 4 cores, but it doesnt use it that way (1 for AI
1 for graphic rendering(??? U have a GPU for that),1 for physics,1 for your damn OS).

Most programs and games are not written for high-end hardware.

Kinda off-topic but:


Asus Striker II Formula, nForce-780i SLI
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4GHz
Corsair TWIN2X 6400C5DHX DDR2, 4096MB (Kit w/two CL5 2GB Dimm's, E.P.P and DHX)
EVGA GeForce 8800GTS 512MB GDDR3,
2x Samsung SpinPoint T166 500GB SATA2
Creative SB X-Fi Gamer, Bulk
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit.

Will I be able to play Crysis with the "High" settings?

 

[Giga_Gaia]

Core2Quad Q6600 2.4GHz
OCZ 8GB DDR2 ram
Geforce 9800 GX2
Vista 64 bits

Very high works fine for me, 60 fps.

But then again, GX2 is multi-gpu.

The question is, is it steady 60fps, or just the maximum is 60?

Games now have to be made for the high end hardware, because that is all that will run them. And I doubt you will find any new game that doesn't use at least 2 cores. Also

"Nvidia has stated that their translation of Ageia's physics engine to CUDA is almost complete. To showcase the capabilities of the new tech Nvidia ran a particle demonstration similar to Intel's Nehalem demo, at ten times the speed.
"While Intel's Nehalem demo had 50,000-60,000 particles and ran at 15-20 fps (without a GPU), the particle demo on a GeForce 9800 card resulted in 300 fps. In the very likely event that Nvidia's next-gen parts (G100: GT100/200) will double their shader units, this number could top 600 fps"

Expect future games to use this, because it is built in.
