i just played the demo, and performance was very similar to the one i experienced with the beta ; crappy. Now, whenever i read a preview or hands on from a website, they all say it ran great on a dual core and 8800 card. Why do THEY get good performance, and why dont we? Is there something us gamers are missing that is exclusive to websites? Honestly, there has to be something wrong....
Crank up all the settings except shaders quality. Made a huge difference for me. I got an 80% increase in frame rate by turning shaders quality from very high to high and leaving everything else at very high. (on my 8800 GTX)
Also, make sure you have the latest beta drivers from nvidia, found here:
Its advertising and EA is the master at lieing then forcing its workers to produce something that isn't possible. I'm glad I wasn't hyped about running this game in DX10 because anything over high seems to require us to go into the future and purchase hardware.
If you remember back when FarCry came out there was no hardware out that could actually run the game on max. I think the top video card when it came out was the FX5950Ultra and it could not run the game maxed.
It was months later the the 6600s and 6800s came out that people could actually max it out. I guess Crysis is going to be the same story.

quite possible, but what i dont get is that when i see a preview somewhere saying the demo runs great compared to the beta, and when i actually get my hands on the said demo, it runs just as bad as the beta, even if my system is as good as the one they used.
I have a 2.4 Quad core, 2 gigs of ram at 667 speed, and an 8800 GTS (i get over 10,000 on 3dmark06)
I have the latest drivers(the ones that came out today)... i get bad FPS on even LOW/Medium FPS (i play with 1600x1000) resolution though cause i dont want my screen to look like crap.
Yeah I dont really know about the higher settings with the higher cards. But I am getter better results than I expected in medium / 1280x1024 on my medium speced system. So I cant really complain.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that you guys are using Vista and/or DX10?
Definatly a pass for me. Unplayable and I expected alot more from visual quality but with such performance impact its not even worth it even if the frames are around 20-30. Big dissapointment atm but will see what will happen when it releases as far as Crytek improving performance. Huge let down.

It runs fine depending on how you setup the game, turning down shadows, shaders and post processing helps
1280X1024 with most settings on high and textures on medium. Getting OK performance, but stutters every once in a while. A little dissapointed with the performance of the game...
1280X1024 on high was alright, definitely playable, but wasn't "silky smooth" for my taste. 1024X768 on medium ran flawlessly though. No question this is a demanding game.
Crysis demo runs way, way better on my setup than Test Drive Unlimited, DiRT, Top Spin 2, and Caesar Iv... to name a few. Granted those are 4 of the worst optimized games of all time bust still....
Trust me youpeople arent missing anything. Crysis certainly needs a heck of a system to get true beauty out of it. My only problem with this game is it lack style likes games out there UT3 to name one. However it really looks astounding when you crank all the settings on high-very highbut good luck with that lol. I also forgot to mention there seems to be a aa-af problem when even setting 2x performance seems to drop 30-40% and jaggies are noticable.
I think you guys forget that this game on lower settings looks better than most games completely maxed out. You aren't supposed to be able to run it on high. No one can really. Just make the cuts in the graphic options you need to (shaders makes a huge difference in FPS, along with post-processing) and enjoy. This game is definitely a cut above the rest. It seems to be extremely processor heavy too, so quad-core seems to be the best option here.
Gonna have to disagree with if you set Crysis to low it looks better then games on max(Looks like a low res Far Cry). It really doesnt show beauty until you max it and I have a excellent eye. Im gonna give it you guys straight up you really need a powerhouse pc to get that leap you looking for in visual videlity to current generation games ie Gears of Wars, Splinter Cell DA ect.

Even at medium settings this game still looks decent,and remember people,this demo is NEW,along with drivers for it,it will run better over time with driver updates and patches :)
maybe your power supply is too low... you should have at least a 550 watt, turn off forced AA, i have the same motherboard, and gpu, with 3 gigs and a eax enabled sound card with 700 watt power supply and i'm flying
Wouldn't it be cool if you could lower the res but not have the screen stretched to fit your monitor? I'd love the option so I could lower the res so I can turn everything on high, but still have itlooking crisp. Anyone with me?
I have a am2 5200+, DFI LP NF590sli-m2r/g,6gb ddr2 800, 8800gts xtreme, and fatality x-fi, and it runs pretty smooth on high settings for me. I wish it took advantage of my physics card too, maybe they might incorporate it l8er...Make sure you get the nvidia beta driver for it...
I'm running on an AMD X2 5000+ with an 8800GTS 640MB and 2GB of RAM at 1440x900. I went ahead and switched every option to "Very High" with 4xAA and managed to get playable framerates, but not silky smooth. On "High" i was playing very smoothly.
e6600 stock 2.4 8600 gts 256mb 2GB O Ram at 1440x900 Medium runs OK but doesnt look very good.... as soon as i even hover my mouse over AA it starts lagging. Guess ill do the same as i did with Far Cry when it was released ( play with crap FPS until 4 years later when i buy a new computer capable of running it maxed)
asus striker....duo core e6700....8800gtx....raptor hd....3.25 dominator ram... vista32/dx10 newest drivers
im running the game at 1280x1024 everything on very high except post processing and shaders at high. looks good and runs at on average 40.... i dont dare change aa. going from none to 2x drops fps to about 30%. also 2x aa and 16aa makes no difference in fps so something must be messed up for that. seems like this will only get better for everyone i hope. gonna play around some more with more impressions. i think sli would really top it off but i think its not supported yet.
My game runs fantastic so far. P4 3.8 Ghz, 2 GB of RAM, running on a 8800 Ultra 768 MB DDR3 612 MHz Core. I can run the game perfect on all settings on High. I have a few things like textures, etc. on very high. So far I'm impressed and I love the game. I asked the game to optimize my card for the best performance and everyhting was set to low. I was shocked and pissed off, but then I set everything to high and it ran just as good with no problems. Odd.
it auto sets itself to medium on 1024x 768 and its very playable, but i would have to lower it to get smooth framerates ill use fps after work an find out wot i get
My settings default to high but I get terrible fps at this level. I check the task manager and its not using all the ram or cpu power. Isthe terrible frameratebecause I am trying to run it in 1900x1200? I got the 24 inch monitor for so I could go that high. Is my power supply big enough?

or just get a new card next year.

updated drivers to beta.... yes it looks and runs jawesome now. ( Street Sharks phrase is the only thing that comes to mind) i cant wait to try it on my friends 8800 gtx :)

It's because you're on Vista. Vista is horrible for games. People need to get this through their heads. I installed the demo both on XP and Vista. I was getting 40 FPS maxed on XP and 15 maxed on Vista. If you're not on Vista, then you need to take better care of your PC (and upgrade your processor).

I'm going to disagree. My system is worse than yours and I maxed it at 1680x1050. I don't see these jaggies talked about either. I can even take screenshots and not see very little considering I have AA turned off.

Seems to run well on this kinda setup... I'm also on an X2 5200 (Clocked at 2.99ghz though) with an 8800GTX, 4gb Corsair XMS2. I've not tried Very High, but yourself and the guy before you, as well as myself have very similar set ups...
thank god i didn't buy a 8800GTS looks like everyone with one can't play the demo I will get one of the new ATi cards next month hopefully they will be able to max crysis.

You joking? 8800GTS completely max the game on XP except for AA.
