Slow Crysis performance on an ATI 4850

Crysis is running horribly slow on my new computer. I know it is a demanding game, but it seems like I should be getting better performance. When I run it on very high in DX10 at 1280 x 800, I get about 30 FPS out of combat and about 15-20 in combat. On all high settings, my framerates still drop into the teens in heavy combat.

Is this normal performance? Most of the benchmarks I have seen show that the 4850 is capable of better performance in Crysis.

The rest of my specs are:

E7200

4GB DDR2 PC800 RAM

Vista x64 Ultimate

Catalyst 8.7

I have the latest patch for Crysis and all of the latest drivers.

Any help would be appreciated.

Put the settings on high...Not very high.Jamiemydearx3

When I have them in high, the framerate is still pretty low, even in DX9 mode.

thats odd i useully geto 20-35 fps but it can be cause of have a Q6600 but i only got 3gb of ram. and thats on High/Very High with 2xAAKILLERJAK702KA

Yeah I know, everyone seems to be getting better performance than me :cry:

I don't think it is my processor, however. an E7200 is about equal to aQ6600 for gaming.

Yeah, try a defrag and do an anti-virus sweep/scan. Trust me, in some situations it will help. Defrag is a very important maintenance procedure that you should run at least once a month. And Anti-virus scanning/sweeping will rid of those pesty spyware, adware, and unwanted intruders.

First of all a E7200 does NOT run equal of a Q6600 for Crysis. It has been confirmed that Crysis does run better on a quad core CPU.

Your FPS seem fine because you are running Vista and settings on Very High is quite demanding even for a 4850. 30fps seems normal for a non overclocked system, dips of 15-20fps, I know can be annoying but try running the game on High and it should solve your problem or over clock your CPU and video card for better performance.

I have not overclocked my E7200 since its on a stock cooler. I do have the fan fix.

Also, google "Hd 4850 fanfix" and then do what it says, jack your fan speed up to like 45%.

I already have the fan fix on 60%

My core tempetures are 32C and 40C when idle. Is it safe to overclock?

that's normal.

but id try some different drivers.

if you are overclocking ....please disable it crysis does not like overclocks.

Did you play with AA on or off ? Run the Crysis Benchmark Tool and see how much you get. On all high no AA at 1280x1024 i get an average of 48 fps in DX9 using XP. (E6850 + HD4850 both at stock).

Link

I turned off crossfire and i can pull high/very high with next to no lag.

Try these:

Overclock to your processer to ATLEAST 2.9 or 3.1 i reccomend, it is VERY cpu dependant.
use ATI overdrive to overclock your memory and core speeds and use the fanfix to keep the temps down.
defrag hard drive
exit all background programs
delete crap you dont need off your hard drive.

try those. and, whats your motherboard? is it Pci express? pci express 2.0?
It also totally depends on how many pins you have in your motherboard, is it a 16pin connector?xid32

crysis is very powersupply dependant....your cpu is plenty powerful at stock and the graphics card...do you know how many amps ur powersupply can supply on a 12v rail?

your psu might be holding back ur rig...if you can tell me ur psu's name i will beable to look up and see if its powerful enough to power that radeon 4850.

Clock for clock it does not. There is a difference between being optimized for two cores and multi-threaded and optimized for four cores and multi-threaded. Crysis dosent utilize quads like supreme commander. Having other people on tons of other hardware sites and comparison a e7200 and a q6600 will run crysis pretty much even if the clocks are the same because crysis does not spread the workload evenly across all four cores and really only uses 2.

So only confirmation on the quadcore running crysis better was in mid 2007 from the devs themselves on some QnA that lead to a serious letdown at launch, for 1.1 patch. and 1.2 patch. One reason I refuse to buy the game overall is the bait n switch on what was supposed to work, how it was supposed to, and that it really didnt.

OP: oc the e7200. Crysis loves the clocks.

...whats wrong with overclocking? get the decent coolers and youll be fine..

I am dying to see that on some link from reliable site.

overclocking is retarded.

it actually lowers performance in crysis.

There are some reports of GPU overclocking lowering performance but how reliable i am unsure.

Not one single person outside of running unstable OC on the cpu has reported worse performance. Your 100% dead wrong in that regard. For the people who dont take the time to learn how to oc and try and run a game on a unstable cpu OC they dont matter as its their inexperience not the cpu that hurts them.
