Hey I dont undrestand how these people come in these forums and say their rig is low and it can run crysis fairly well...

Here is my rig

8800 gts 320

Intel core duo E6600

2 gb of ram.

I can run this game at 1280 720 on half medium to high settings on a choppy frame rate. I was expecting to run the game on all high settings at that resolution with at least 30 FPS but thats not happening.

NSS! People on System Wars are just trying to get a reaction out of PC gamers, that's all. Of course us real PC gamers know it's not true and we shouldn't entertain them by posting in their threads.

:lol: You have to run games in DOS on Windows 3.11 because it was basically just a glorified GUI back then.

Yeah...."very well" is a relative concept, it ran and looked like crap on my X1950Pro 512mb but apparently on many people's 6600GT /x1300 etc. it looks and runs great. :o Maybe they just forget to mention that they're playing on 640x480 or something and that smooth is like 15-20fps to them.

One of my rigs has the exact same setting, except that it has a e6750.

It runs the game on all high(physics very high but shaders and shadow at medium) at 1280*1024 at an average fps of 25.

Or maybe you forgot to mention that, for you, good looking=everything on very high at atleast 1600*1200 and smooth means 60+fps:P

PS: This game actually looks smooth even at 25 fps

You need to tweak your rig. I have the exact same specs as you, and I'm running the game on Very High @ 1280x1024, no AA, at 20 FPS.

Yeah exactly what I'm saying, it's a relative concept, unless you give some details like resolution and preferrably a screenshot with fraps counter in the corner, saying "I can run it fairly well..." means nothing because people have different standards.

And yes Crysis does seem surprisingly smooth at 25fps, the framerate is much more consistent than in any other FPS games where you usually need 40+ if you wanna keep it smooth in ALL situations. But still I would feel that 30fps is the standard for shooters nowadays.

because most people have posted benchmarks on their dual-boot systems running both XP and Vista, and XP comes out on top in terms of performance.

According to gamespot's analysis they perform the same unless you consider a difference of 3fps significant. ALso considering the Vista version is DX10 and Xp is DX9. Over 60 doesn't make a difference in the low settings either.

I'm running it on my rig, High settings at 40 FPS. On very high settings 20FPS. All on 1600x1050 resolution. Just because you can't run it higher, doesn't mean others can't.

http://files.filefront.com/compressed+Crysis+2007+8avi/;8913418;/fileinfo.html

1024x768 (can run it at 1280x768 but fraps was eating up too much FPS)

high shaders, with cvars edited for colorgrading and sunrays. high objects, medium textures, shadows, post proc, water, particles and effects. (with some edited cvars) FPS ranges from 25 to 30 (18-25 with fraps running). And most importantlythe highest phyiscs settings availible.

It looks amazing. It plays amazing. The physics are unparrelled. Theres so many ways to play this game it isnt even funny.

This is on a Core 2 Duo e6300 @ 2.8ghz, 2gb DDR2 800mhz ram, x1950pro.

And what EntwineX said about the FPS is correct. 25FPS in crysis seems as smooth as 50fps in GRAW. Its because there are no spikes. Spikes are what make even very good average FPS seem terrible. GRAW jumps from 25 to 60 and back again all the time. Crysis never varies more than 3-5 from the average. The lack of fps spikes is what allows movies to get away with 29fps or even 24fps. Also motion blur helps alot too.

I'm running it on my rig, High settings at 40 FPS. On very high settings 20FPS. All on 1600x1050 resolution. Just because you can't run it higher, doesn't mean others can't. rimnet00

My rig is the same as yours but I have my E6600 at stock, only one 8800 GTS 640 MB but I have 3Gb of RAM. I get an average of28 FPS on all Very High at 1440x900 resolution. I also added a few tweaks to make it look even better. Like r_BeamsDistFactor 0.01 and r_useEdgeAA 2. The first makes the godrays go through even the thickest of vegetation at the cost of only 1-2 FPS. The second doesn't even cost any FPS but nullified the issues around the leaves on the trees. Makes the game look much better.

Im supprised at the number of people who why buy a 320 MB geforce 8, spend all that money on an 8800 and you only get a 320MB card, 320 Is fairly low end these days.

Well it's prolly because it wasn't a big issue with the last gen cards, the difference between a 512Mb and 256Mb was relatively small back then, now that the memory interface etc. are faster the extra Ram seems to make a bigger difference in some games.

Now peoples understand the real advantage of investing in the best video card.

There is no difference between a GTS and a GTX on medium resolution like 1280 X 1024 (which is higher than 720p)? Think twice!

GS was running Crysis with an 8800GT 2 gigs of ram and core 2 duo, it seemed to look and play beautifully. I think people are making up uber rigs and complaining about low FPS just to get some attention.

I forgot to mention that Crysis doesnt utilize more than one core in the demo (Correct me if i'm wrong)

Save on hardware and just dream aboutplaying crysis on high setting.Dreams like 60fps to me.

haha i had extacly same setting as u but i OC my 8800Gts 660/1000 and run crysis on high wtih some on very high, shadow and water = medium, shader and postprocessing = high, rest is very high. i can get around 25-30 FPS and play pretty smooth even in combat. i can play all on high and get about the same FPS so something is just wrong with your pc
