New Crysis vs KZ2

what are your comp specs?

Crysis offers a more varied, open-ended experience.
If you're more into shooters like Halo and Call of Duty, I can't guarantee you'll like Crysis better.

Make sure you get the latest patch for Crysis, which, last I knew was version 1.2. It made some difference on my computer and let me go higher on the settings (compared to non-patched).

Crysis Warhead (the other single-player game that comes in the maximum edition) runs as good or better than the patched Crysis.

That said, I hope they run well enough on your computer.

[QUOTE="TheMistique"][QUOTE="jhuff1"] It's just a laptop ASUS g50 intel 2.53ghz 4 gig ddr3 ram 640 gig hard GeForce 9800 512mb card Nice screen I know crysis is a beast so I got my fingers crossed Is there online online mp or is there a campaign Mode as well? Only played fallout, half life & WoW on it so far but They look greatFanboy5647

[QUOTE="Fanboy5647"][QUOTE="TheMistique"] you should be able to play it om medium-high not very high though. there is online which is kinda fun but the community is dwindling. the singleplayer and mods never get old imo.paullywog

Just remember better graphics =/= better game

[QUOTE="paullywog"][QUOTE="Fanboy5647"] he can play very high...my old 8800 could play very high @720 at about 20fps (15low-30high) (lowest drop was 10)Fanboy5647

The 9800 is basically just a rebranded 8800, also considering the fact that his will be a mobile iteration, means that performance will also be less.

[QUOTE="Fanboy5647"][QUOTE="paullywog"]ugh that isn't exactly playable. i would say you need over 30 fps with occasionaly dips into 20's, and even that would make me sad.-Traveller-

[QUOTE="Fanboy5647"] my old "8800", he has a 9800, so it should be good enoughFanboy5647

I'm wondering if it's GS or GT. Still i'm expecting him to pull in more than likely mid-high settings, depending on the rez.

[QUOTE="Fanboy5647"] maybe, but his 9800 should still be better than my old 8800, only thing is i had a Q6600 backing it , so not sure if that would make much of a differenceFanboy5647

Hmmm, without AA he might be able to push that, but it's not worth it if you're going to dip below 20FPS, as that's not really playable (depending on person).

I don't know if his rez goes up to 1680x1050 on that model of G50, but i'd be expecting about the performance above, with VH, at about 1440x900, or maybe even 1366x768.

What GPU are you using? 9800GT?

[QUOTE="-Traveller-"]

[QUOTE="thepwninator"] My PC has specs similar to his laptop (kinda makes me sad) and I can play it on all high (though I turn off motion blur and post-processing) at 1440x900 with framerates between 30 and 40. The lowest it dropped to was 25-ish. My processor is a fair bit better, though, so I don't know how that changes things...thepwninator

What GPU are you using? 9800GT?

Nice card. I was expecting it to be the GTX at those frames.

Going off this, I stand by mid-high at a lower resolution, attaining probably 25FPS.

The GPU in the laptop is probably a 9800M GS or a 9800M GT.

The 9800 GTX+ yielded better performance(about 5 fps difference) than my old 8800 GTS 640 mb. So obviously it can't be just a rebranded card. Unless you are being specific and talking about the 9800 GT or something?

Crysis is an amazing single player experience to say the least, one of the greatest I've ever encountered I almost would say.

I agree when we start to look at the 9800GTX+ you'll start to see an increase over the 8800 series. The 9800GT gives around the same performance as an 8800GT.

Sorry I was talking in relation to the cards in the Asus G50, as I believe the only 2 iterations are the 9800M GS and 9800M GT.

It's probably something to do with the manufacturing process as it seems to be using a smaller form than the 9800GTX. Unfortunately I haven't kept up on the GTS 250 iteration.

Here are a few tips before you play.

1. Download the latest patch to fix bugs and help performance.(I think Maximum edition has the latest patch's thoe...)

2. I hugely recommend you look into using config files, They will help your performance and also let you play on Very high if you are using XP.

-I reccomand you use CCC if you are struggling for performance. The game will look better and you will gain a huge performance boost.

-if you want your game to look alot better I recommend you download the Ultra High config. It comes with the config files to run Very high on XP and also comes with an Ultra High config which improves the look of the game alot.

Their are other tweaks and config files to use out their. Its hugely recommended to use them for better performance and a better looking game.

You may find that once u play shooters on the pc you never go back to consoles, that is what happened to me at least.

Ha!

I'm in the same boat as you. I just ordered all of the parts to my first gaming rig along with Crysis Maximum. Everything should be arriving over the course of next week. :D
