That's all you hear about that game, "I have XX super computer and it runs Crysis like poop!"

I ran it with a 7950GT DX9 on XP and it ran great on High settings. Only the huge battle on the carrier did it slow down.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20474445 Tue, 13 May 2008 09:43:09 EDT Re: Crysis SHOULD Be Smokin'... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20466298 NYR11 :

Running a Q6600@2.4(no overclock yet) with 4 gigs ddr2 800, Vista Ultimate SP1 64 bit, and a 9600gt on a Gigabyte ep35-DS3P. I'm playing the single player demo of Crysis with everything on high and no AA at something like 1370x12 something res. I haven't tried the very high settings yet just been playing the game. It seems to fly on my system.DX 10 too. How do you bring up the FPS to see what you are getting in game?

780i

try uninstalling and reinstalling the game, installing 174.74 geforce drivers and latest patch for the game.

Although given that IBM's BlueGenes are rented by all types of researchers, I'd be surprised if they didn't make them versatile enough to handle a number of potential work loads, including some image processing (which would utilize a pipe-lined graphics processor for handling textures).

also every game ive seen so far suffers a 10-15% FPS loss when run under Vista, even when running DX9. not bashing vista, but i;ve seen these results duplicated on many many review sites.

the GTX is definitely a strong card but it's age is starting to show. the $230-250 8800GTS is essentially the same real-world speed as it in many games and losing out to the GTX in some others, but usually not by much. i'd definitely consider dual GTX's or selling it for a 9800 GX2 if you're running an intel chipset and still looking for an upgrade. basically the best setup for an Intel chipset motherboard PC is going to be a single 9800GX2 or dual 3870 X2s.

I didn't realize Crysis was causing so many chokes; I don't feel so bad anymore :D.

I haven't installed the 1.2 Patch (yet) but the game seems to remember my preference for Full Screen mode as it's booted into such each time I load the game. I'll try running in DX9 and see if that helps, but otherwise it looks like I'll have to move towards getting a second 8800 GTX.

Thanks again, everyone!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20274160 Thu, 03 Apr 2008 00:52:09 EDT Re: Crysis SHOULD Be Smokin'... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20273093 Mchart : Look at the benchmarks floating around the net. Even the 9800GTX still has issues with Crysis. I'd suggest running the game in DX9 mode, as DX10 mode takes away such a large chunk of performance, and in return gives little in terms of better visuals.

I get around 20 FPS with all Very High and AA off, except during the Rock Falls in Awakening/Mine, when the FPS drops to near 10.
This is quite playable for an old guy like me. :p

If you have installed the 1.2 patch, then make sure you are running in Fullscreen Mode each time you launch the game, there's a bug that reverts to Windowed Mode. :huh:
Also, make sure you not running a background resource hog, use the What's Running program to check rather than Taskmanager.

I just built a new gaming/media center computer with the following specs:

Mobo: Asus P5E with updated BIOS
CPU: Intel Quad Core QX9650 OC'd to 3.4 GHz
Graphics Card: EVGA 8800GTX
RAM 4 gigs of matched Kingston RAM
OS: Vista Ultimate 64 bit

Unless I'm mistaken, this monkey should be seriously chewing up the frames in Crysis, even at the highest settings. Unfortunately, I can only get truly smooth action by setting everything on High with Anti-Alias off. When I click on the game's Optimizer function, it resets everything to Very High so even the game seems to think my system should be okay at that level. I've made sure that Punkbusters is set on Manual and not Auto and I turn off most background apps (AV, etc.) but nothing seems to work.

Is there a potential issue with my system or does my rig STILL not have big enough balls for this game!? :(]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20268328 Wed, 02 Apr 2008 02:02:49 EDT
