Dunno why pplk with better rigs then mine are having such issues. shaders dem, shadows med, rest very high at 1280x1024 noaa and getting 30-50fps constant. vista 32bit also, 64bit has issues.

I think ppl need to realise that these gfx at highest settings are beyond a standard 8800gts, i doubt its the optimization thats hte issue but the fact the game is just far to demanding for current cards.

Does 64-bit have issues? That's might explain why I've got so much trouble with running it at very high.

Yeah it does. Lot of people have been reporting it.

yeah its true..i installed the new beta drivers 169.01 and the game hangs..never starts....only the released drivers 169.69 work and its only crysis all my other games work..(im using vista 64bit)

Use the Xtreme G 163.75 drivers. Those work the best for me. Works much better than the crappy beta drivers Nvidia released.

Crysis is overrated because

Most people that play PC games can't play it on max settings..

A huge chunk of PC gamers wont even be able to play the game on medium settings..

so basically.. for most people.. this game looks no better than a great looking Xbox 360 game..

FantasySports00
great logic...

edit: wow, why am i replying to an over 1 year old thread, lol

A nice PC is not expensive and even if it was the expense is justifiable because gaming on PC is the best period. I game on my PS3 and 360 but NOTHING comes close to PC.

Because it's Far Cry with better graphics. Wasn't exactly leaps and bounds ahead of anything in the gameplay department.FrozenLiquid
Well... at least it did improve a bit, most FPSes actualy have regressed like hell in gameplay compared to Far Cry. Just take a look at CoD:WaW, it plays like something from 1998 or worse

Crysis is NOT overrated, its a fantastic game and the only reason you silly console fans hate on it is BECAUSE YOU HAVNT PLAYED IT!! Crysis looks awesome on high settings.

Crysis >> your life

difference b/w far cry and crysis is much more than almost any other FPS in recent times likehalo 3, bioshock, ut3, COD 4 etc

Well if it was different, I didn't feel it.

I don't think many other people did feel it either, since the reactions aren't unanimous.

LOL, you didnt even play it!

You dont even have good PC to play it on.....prove me that you have Crysis and a good PC.

Or go away troll

Actually I thought the suit that allowed you to switch between defense, strength, speed, and stealth was amazing.
