The story of a 3k $ PC and Crysis :(

Well. I got my new gaming PC not long ago, and it seems to run the Crysis demo awfully.

The computer is as follows:

Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz

4094 MB RAM

Windows Vista 64bit

GeForce 8800 GTS - SLI. (Two cards)

I used the latest Nforce Driver, 169.something, and then I tried to install the beta driver 169.04, but it didnt make any changes, except it made the mountains in Crysis completely white...
All my drivers are up-to-date, and yes, I have turned the SLI on inside the Nvidia-Controlpanel.

My computer can barely choke Crysis at 1024x900, Medium graphics, no anti-aliasing.
If I turn anti-aliasing on x16 Q and CSAA, the game crashes. If I turn all the graphics high, with x4 AA, the game crashes.

Simply, if I want a decent performance, I have to run it on low, with no anti aliasing on 860x800 resolution.

I've seen that some people have the same problem as me, is there anything to do about it?

I really hope you're lying about the price. Otherwise, you got seriously ripped off.Spartan8907

Not lying.. This is the prices in my country. Though, its not the problem, could you stick to my question?

:| Looks like you've been had.

If my PC with an E6600 @ 2.88 Ghz, ONE 8800GTS,and2 gigs of ram, can run Crysis on Dx9 withall high settings on XP.

Then there is seriously something wrong with your PC. Is it premade? What country are you from the? :?

Yeah, you got ripped off. And Crysis runs badly on EVERYTHING.JohnDW

I wouldn't exactly say that. I wasn't expecting Crysis to run soo well on my computer. I almost had a stroke when I realize I was able to run it without a hitch on my PC.

Speaking of which, I'm fiending for some Crysis right now, cant stop thinking about it!

Bout to say the same thing...

Does this only have with Crysis? or all games?

If its all games, defnitely its either Vista-64 or PSU. I had the same problem before, (just one 8800GTS).

If its only Crysis, I guess you will just have to wait for new driver, or perhaps a fault in the gpu(s) itself.

you can run it on high settings dunno what happened because my friend he got geforce 8800 GTS and he can run it on 1280x1024 resolution

From what I understand Crysis does not take advantage for SLI, and if it does
it's not really bad. I read some people said that in SLI mode, only
one video card heats up, while other idles, which means it does not use 2nd card.

Developers promise to better optimize SLI support, but it usually takes around year after
realese for it to function properly.

You would have been better off with single GTX or Ultra.
I have GTS , I can run on semi-high with 1280 resolution at 30-40fps.

uhhh he has vista 64 bit. Correct me if im wrong, but doesnt SLI run like crap on it?Mr_NoName111

I could've sworn the demo doesn't support multi-cards setup. I heard only the full game would support that.

Try disabling SLI and see if the performance would go up (for the demo).

That sucks man. I just ran the benchmark with all settings on very high (xp hack) with 2x AA and a couple of tweaks that don't really affect performance and I get 25 FPS average, 32 FPS average without the 2xAA.

...and my system cost me 1100 USD (sig).

I just downloaded Crysis demo myself.
Works perfectly on 1200/1024 with all High,but when I try to put AA on,even 4x,the screen becames shadowed and it's unplayable.

My configuration is :

Dual Core 2.40

2 GB Ram

GF 8800GTS 640mb

Anyone know what shud I do,what to update in order for my AA to work normally?

Resolution @ 1024x768, set everything to Med & then put 2X AA & then put Effects @ High. (After all 2 settings @ High & others @ Med. Then you will be able to play more smoothly than before)

Edit - I played @ 1280x1024 & everything @ High settings. Most of time is under 25FPS & some times 30FPS.

What resolution??? It must be 1024x768 or you are talking **** In any resolution higher you wouldnt be getting 32FPS on very high settings........

uhhh he has vista 64 bit. Correct me if im wrong, but doesnt SLI run like crap on it?Mr_NoName111

I was going to ask the same thing.

i was having a crash issue with one of the versions of the beta drivers with the 64bit crysis executable. try running in 32bit mode. performance wise it makes no differance 32 vs. 64 bit.

3000$ ????
