Jason S. Global Moderator Posted October 29, 2007 Global Moderator Share Posted October 29, 2007 But surely there is a pair of graphics cards out what can handle that spec? isn't a lot of the data rendered at the cpu and not the gpu with dx10? I doubt even SLI GTX Ultra's could handle that w/ 16xAA and AF or whatever he suggested, at that resolution, DX10, and all settings on Very High.

Minifig Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I'm running a duo core 1.8 with 2 gig of ram and an NVidia 8800 320 edition (I couldn't afford the 512 at the time of purchase) on XP. Resolution: 1440x900. It runs beautifully with everything on Medium, but once I crank everything to high, things just start to slug down. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlibbyFlobby Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I'm running Crysis on High everything at 1400x900 and it runs like a dream. I haven't been able to checkout the FPS (don't know the console command), but it certainly feels like its over 30 - 40fps most the time. It never lags or stutters even under heavy action. Did I add the graphics are frigging awesome! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason S. Global Moderator Posted October 29, 2007 Global Moderator Share Posted October 29, 2007 i tried last night w/ 16x10, everything on Very High, DX10, no AA, Shadows Medium... slideshow. it was like 10-15fps. Tried High settings, same. Tried Medium... barely playable and got pwnd b/c i couldnt aim fast enough. im going to lower the resolution way down to like 10x7 and try to tweak the settings. i have to see what the best combo of settings and resolution is going to be.

Sethos Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Need some feedback, having a bit of a ( Rather one-sided ) Argument with a bloke on another forum. He says he is able to run the Crysis Demo at High Settings ( Everything ) In 1920x1200 and it runs amazing, with these specs. HP Compaq Mobile Workstation 8710w - Core 2 Duo T7700 / 2.4 GHz - Centrino Pro - RAM 2 GB - HDD 120 GB - Quadro FX 1600M - Win XP Pro - 17" Widescreen TFT 1920 x 1200 ( WUXGA ) Am i the only one thinking major bull? I mean, people with 8800's are struggling to get a decent frame rate at settings lower than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FATILA Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 He is running it in DX9, but even in that specs smell whiffy. I could not use ultra high and keep at playable framerate with 8800gtx, no where near (same res). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xendrome Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 The main thing that tweak adds to DX9 is the godrays, that's about it.Anyways, it looks like the Vista performance issue really is a bug. Just simply running the game in XP compatibility mode boosts the framerate, and though I don't have a DX10 card it supposedly even still allows that to be enabled. What is the deal with the term "godrays" lately... it sounds ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's what I've heard them been called in various games by developers over the years, so i figured "Hey, they must be right" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats BS, because the Quadro FX cards are not really and faster then any regular cards, they just have a programmable GPU. See Here - http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-Quadro...00M.2130.0.html "This is a professional video card for notebooks from NVidia It is based on 7900GTX. The application performance is very good due to special professional drivers (3D rendering, CAD), but the gaming performance is weaker. With modded drivers, it should work like a 7900GTX." BTW thats for the 2500M, the 1600M is worse obviously in performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea it's probably one of those fights you won't win, so I wouldn't even bother. The guy obviously is jealous that he can hardly get 5FPS... I'm sure.

Sethos Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Oh yeah :laugh: Still very anxious to hear further about the "Crysis only using one core" claim, kinda hope It's true, great to look forward to higher FPS and improved settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Frothy Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I turned off all AA and now Crysis is running at 1680x1050 smooth enough for quality play. I guess future NVidia drivers will sort out more performance optimisations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leddy Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 1400x1050 on a 7900GTX, have to run medium-low to get it going smoothly (i.e. > 30FPS). Pretty disappointing. Also, yes, the game appears to only use one core (total CPU utilisation never goes over ~55% on mine) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrt2 Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I've heard that if you force DX9 mode in Crysis that you get a big boost performance increase... I'm currently running Vista64 so how would I force DX9 mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prosidius Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 Crysis runs pretty smooth on High max resolution for me, there is a considerable amount of lag when shooting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raskren Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 The owner of Tweakguides.net claims that Crysis does, in fact, use both cores if you have them. http://forums.tweakguides.com/showthread.p...75390#post75390 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot B. Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I have a DX10 card and Vista. Which option do I change in-game to enable the godrays and what do I set it to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danrarbc Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 You'll get those with the very high settings. If it isn't running in DX10 mode right click the shortcut and you'll see a DX10 option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which setting in particular do I have to set to Very High, though? EDIT: Figured it out. Shaders Quality and Postprocessing Quality need to be set to Very High to enable the godrays.

I'm happy with everything at Medium apart from Shadow Detail which I keep to Low and Water Detail which I set to High. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
