This game is running horribly. I know I only have a GT220, but my monitor is 1440x900, and I can run Crysis and Warhead on a mix of medium-max settings and get 40+fps. I can't get more than 31 with gamer, even with overclocking my GPU. Is AA enabled no matter what? That killed my FPS in Crysis, and turning it off is what gave me great performance, and I think that's the case here.

You understand that the GT 220 is a giant peice of crap right? what the hell did you expect?

because that isn't possible, that's why.

Pretty fun so far, better than I expected. Runs pretty well too: Hardcore settings, forced 4xEQ AA/16x AF gets about 50 FPS average on Pier and 60 FPS average on Skyline, with no dips below about 40. Of course this is all in DX9 mode; if the full version actually has DX11 with tesselation that could be another story.

I know, it performs surprisingly well and looks great. I ran Warhead almost maxed and got slightly higher FPS. It's still a mystery why Crysis 2 is running like crap though.

EDIT: And I'm overclocking and have made edits for performance in the NVIDIA control panel, neither of which I have to do for Crysis or Warhead.

I finally had a chance to play a couple of rounds in Crysis 2 MP demo. I cannot judge a game that has always been about the single player experience, on an MP demo. I don't like the changes to how the energy works. I'm still confused how it works but I'll learn in time. The lack of recoil is sickening..to say the least. And my character feels so stiff, as you've seen how the characters in videos. As for the graphics, I'm not impressed at all. I played on Hardcore settings and I was getting probably 50fps or so, but there were jaggies everywhere due to the lack of AA in settings? I didn't get a chance to fiddle with them because i just didn't care at this point. Nothing about it wow'ed me so far. I'll hold my final judgement when I get the final game, which I hope I'll keep on pre-order.Elann2008

Again that's cause of budget cuts in the US Army,

The nano-suit only comes in SMALL SIZE now, no more medium or large.... :lol:

Well, although Crysis 2 might look worse than part 1, I'm sure on hardware it would be heavier....FelipeInside

Strangley I run Crysis 2 better than the original on hardcore.

Yeah man, those budget cuts, My nano-suit feels like toilet paper. and with Armor on it feels like Paper. Crytek should of gone and joined Activision, at least then they wouldnt have to lie blantly to everyone that it isnt a CoD rip off.

Yes, it feels like a rip-off, but that's the "safe" road to take these days..... just look at how CoD sells.

Saying that, how would YOU have created the MP to make it THAT much different from CoD? while keeping it fun and addictive?

Interesting. I got into a match on Skyline, and it was running at a very consistent 30-40fps and felt very smooth. I'm really enjoying the demo now, already made it to level 3 with 2 games. I don't know what happened. Pier 17 still runs in the 20s, just as Skyline was earlier.

Downloaded it, played at 1920x1080 on hardcore settings... Not really impressed. It feels consolized. I think the graphics are a step back too.

extremely disappointed in the multiplayer, if this is how its going to be. Teeny tiny maps, absolutely zero attempt at realism (recoil, specifcally), and the suit powers are just weird feeling

THank god I am getting this game for the singleplayer. The multiplayer will just have to grow on me.

He's making jokes as if crysis were real and the people that made the nano suits were also real and also had budget cuts. The game itself actually had a bigger budget this time.

This demo feels like a copy of COD in many ways, but I think the actual game will be quite good and will last me maybe a month. To be perfectly honest the demo itself is better than Warhead and the original Crysis' multiplayer IMO. However the reason I think it will last a month or even just a few weeks is because it's nothing new, the game modes are quite bland, and the abilities don't seem to offer much replayability

From the demo I'm extremely disappointed. It looks and feels like a console game. Fuzzy graphics, blah gunplay, static environments, small levels.. It's so consolized. Makes me sick to see this happen to a Crysis game.

Good god. My performance is terrible with CrossFireX 6850's. :| 30-40FPS, really? I get silkier gameplay in Warhead. And this is only DirectX9, and the levels are tiny.

Not really digging the netcode. I wouldn't be surprised if it was P2P, all servers I joined seemed to be filled with people having pings of 200+.KHAndAnime

Personally I'm averaging my ping in the 40's-50's. Last game I did someone was in the teens. Havent personally seen one person above 150 yet in about...the 20 games I've done.

Quite dissapointed with the performance with my 5970, running at 1920x1080 with the hardcore settings I get anywhere from low 30s to high 50s, framerates dip annoyingly and on gamer I get around 60 most of the time, but seriously wtf, I've heard of less powerful nvidia cards getting upwards of what I'm getting. I'm guessing that the nvidia cards are a lot better optimized seeing as how they did provide money for the development, and I'm hoping that performance with my card will improve with the final package :(, dual-gpu cards are probably dealing with similar issues as someone trying to do crossfire/sli.

Anybody else with similar config to mine or same graphics card get similar results?

Jeeze, so much 'extremely unimpressed', 'unrealistic', 'sli doesn't work (most likely just unsupported atm, there's supposed to be some stuff for it soon anyway).

I for one, like a bit of 'unrealistic' gameplay for my shooters, I loved Quake and Wolfenstein: ET, those in no way were realistic, but fun as hell. However, the lack of cheesy weapons, and silly objectives.. imo, needs to get modded in.

I don't care for the Pier 17 map, it feels too cramped and open at the same time, I dunno how they managed that. Skyline is half useless, with the indoors section just being very under used, almost never saw combat indoors 'cept when the pod was downstairs, and even then... there wasn't much.Inconsistancy

I can report back that Single Card's from AMD run better than CrossFireX. When comparing my frames per second with my dual 6850's, I averaged 33FPS 1920x1080 'Hardcore'. Whereas with a single 6850 card, I averaged 42fps 1920x1080 'Hardcore'.-CheeseEater-

Just went and played again and recorded a bit accurately what type of fps I get at 1920x1080 Hardcore with a 5970, pretty dissapointing to say the least. The max I'll get is around 60 only in indoor areas, everywhere else averages around 40 fps and about a minimum of 35 :\.

This is probably a stupid question but does a 5970 count as crossfire seeing as how its a dual gpu card? if so is there anyway to disable crossfire, can't seem to find any option in the CCC.

I respect your opinion and you seem like a very reasonable person but Crytek made a huge impact with Crysis on the PC gaming world back in 2007. They got us upgrading our PC's, building new ones, and benchmarking just for the sake of benchmarking. It was a surge that the PC gaming community needed and I feel with Crysis 2, it took all that away in one foul swoop. The original Crysis was and still is, one of best looking games on a technical level. It set new standards that games in the future from that time, couldn't even begin to fathom. With Crysis 2, I feel like I'm playing a completely different game. Patching DX11, patching Sli support after launch? Whut? I might be jumping to conclusions but all the features seemed to be hacked away. And who releases an MP demo unless you're DICE? I'm skeptical but I still have faith that the single player campaign will be worthwhile. Hence why I'm keeping my pre-order. Don't get me wrong here. Just sayin' from what I'm seeing.

1. @Patching, no, driver updates from ati/nvidia will cover it, it's going to ship with dx11 supported, I will admit the game has seen a bit of that dreaded consolization, and that will hold back it's graphics a bit... but other games are looking more demanding this time 'round, like The Witcher 2.

2. DEMO not final release. ~"is not an example of the product's final quality"

3. Graphics are useless w/o gameplay, if I want only eye candy, I can play any Final Fantasy game (8+), sure it's not real time, but it's damn pretty. While Crysis 1 was pretty, I thought it was horribly boring.

Graphics king of 2004 was Doom3, but HL2 was w/o a doubt a better game.

I enjoyed the demo. Visuals are gorgeous and gameplay is fun. I'm surprised I got a good performance using the Advanced setting on my ole 4870.

Coming from being a HUGE! original crysis fan(beta'd and got free club sli t-shirt), i still love playing it and warhead a ton. SLi support has always been poorly implanted into the Crysis series, which saddens me, as the original crysis was a game that could really use every last bit of power. I LOVED! the original crysis(and warhead) and it stood tall and still does to this day. after just trying to bear the opening video on "mulitplayer" then i see "press start button" At this point im PISSED! okay i set the grapics to "hardcore" join a server, WoW this game **** SUCKS! im so disapointed. i don't wanna hear people say "oh it's still in beta/testing phase"...........i remeber all that BS from the original crysis, how it will be more optimized with the final release....which was a huge load of BS. Fact Crysis 2 has been greatly nerfd of all it's glory so it can be played on consoles with their horrible fanboys. Since the completion of Crysis(1) I've been greatly looking foward to continuing where i left off. But for the first time in my life I'm going to cancel my pre-order. the suit(more advaced and newer) should be more complex and far more effient you would think.....being as it takes place 2 years after crysis(1). but no...it's simple now to make it "easy" to use for console players. The thing that made Crysis(1) unique was it was completely different then antyhing else... freedom, advanced suit control, complete weapon customization, having unparalleled graphics. No now i feel like im playing just another run and gun(doom3, COD) FPS. And the games i love(d) are being toned down in every aspect as to make it more suitable for POS consoles......why even bother building a powerhouse computer anymore?!??! and why on gods earth can i not have custom graphic option?! Demo is supposed to give you a good idea of how the game will be and reflect the overall quality, food for thought. so 4 years and this is what were gonna get? it's no wonders pc gaming is going extinct. i could keep going on but i find it useless. **** i really miss the old days.
