Crysis Performance Issues

I can't even get this game running on low settings @ 1024x768 with no AA at 30+ fps. This is ridiculous. The demo played fine on medium but the real game is worse...

My system is:

AMD 3800+ @ 2611MHz

2048MB RAM

XFX 8600 GT XXX 620/1600 (newest drivers 169.21)

Any suggestions?

I don't like the card - the 8800 GT (512mb) at $300-400 is a great buy.

Install the latest patches which improve performance I am told..

Reinstall? Close applications like Steam, anti-virus etc. Hit me back. xx

Thanks for the info I'll get back to you as soon as I install the new patch.

Ahhh another win, another crysis issue solved! hehe :Dbiggest_loser

The patch isn't magic....... Drivers are more important. I had the same problem when I first tried the demo - 10 FPS on low. I needed to update drivers.

I would say the main problem is your CPU, i would get a dual core CPU along with an 8800GT GPU.

He can play the demo on Medium though with the settings up...something is amiss here ahem.

That's normal. To max out crysis you need a quadcore cpu and 3 video cards with 4gb of ram. My current rig has a QX6700 quadcore cpu @3.2ghz, 4gb RAM (2x2GB @667mhz), 2x nVidia 768mb 8800gtx SLI, 128mb PhysX Card, and a creative soundblaster x-fi xtreme soundcard. If I put it at 1920x1200 with everything on high including motion blur and with AA at 2x then I can run it at 60fps no problem. However as soon as I start increasing the AA frame rate drops. I have the patch and i'm running it on windows xp. When I run it on vista I can run it at 60fps with AA off and all of the previous settings at high and even some at ultra high. XP doesn't support ultra high I guess because there is no DX10. Sorry if my post is confusing i'm really tired. One more thing crysis has f*****d up progamming. It's ridiculous and makes no sense that the only pcs that can run it are ones with tripple sli and quadcore with 4gb of ram running at 1066mhz.

It is a myth that Crysis needs a super computer to run the game. I cannot imagine why you are not able to play the game on medium with that configuration.

Check my Crysis First Look

I ran the game on 7600GS AGP. And it worked. I am not joking. It's true. You may have a lot of programs running the background, or maybe your drivers are out of date. Get the Crysis optimized drivers from Nvidia. That should make some difference.

Quite frankly, I think there is something wrong with your computer. You better check the amount of RAM and CPU usage.

lol?

2x2 gb 667 ram + ageia physx . Sounds like a dell xps to me. Yeah you may be able to attain 60 fps in some areas, but according every benchmark out there, a qx6700 + gtx sli can no way achieve an AVERAGE of 60fps @ 1920x1200 all max 2xAA.

Yet a game like Half-Life 2 looks as amazing as it does and you could play that on a Dx7 card. biggest_loser

[QUOTE="biggest_loser"]Yet a game like Half-Life 2 looks as amazing as it does and you could play that on a Dx7 card. mo0ksi

So did Far Cry...

and FarCry on release caused the same problems Crysis has..

anyways a nice way to increase performance, head here and download the Natural Mod 2.0.1... its all custom graphics that tweaks and changes a few things, you may have to turn a few extra things down for the 8600 to cope, but you might do ok, its worth a shot.

and yes, the CPU is what makes a big difference in Crysis. at stock 2.4ghz on my quad with SLI, i was getting about 26fps average. when overclocked to 3.6ghz, my average went up to 34. thats Vista 64/DX10/1680x1050 EVERYTHING V.high. the SLI was creating a bottleneck yeah, but even when i run a single card and overclock the quad, my frames go up about 4-5 per second more. thats a decent jump. enough to make unplayable playable.

I did a driver cleaner, reinstalled my drivers, and installed the new patch ... and the game runs beautifully! I can play on 1024x768 with 30-40 fps average. I have everything on medium (physics and water are on high!). Thanks for the help. My computer isn't too bad. I will probably add a second 8600GT becuase the price is already $79 after rebate. For now though I can max out Bioshock, The Orange Box games, and Unreal Tournament 3 with solid framerates.nVidiaGaMer

Excellent! Mwahaha. I told you those patches would work!
