The misconception Crysis

I dont understand all the fuss. My frames are very playable at all very high, no aa, 1680x1050!

I think it is jelous fanboy who makes all the bashing threads.

The game is not only graphically superior to any console game, it literally blows all FPS games out of the freaking water. $%&*! GTA! This game has more draw distance than a panoramic view of a bald eagal. ^&?@ Halo sideways! Crysis has sound, gameplay and so many subtle touches the realism screams in your face. And most importantly, shove @$*$%&* up the $&@ of all 3 consoles because this game shows that DX10 has graphics in its infancy that kill dead anything running at 60fps on a lame 1080i HDTV.

Man i wish i was rich enough to play this game.

My 7900GT runs it mostly high, but I still ordered an 8800GT, couldn't help myself.muscleserge

Roffle! Good one! 7900GT is barely playable on Medium Setting and 1280x800 resolution :lol: 1024x768 would be better.

I also get great FPS... Also, nVidia just released new 169.04 drivers(improved over the 169.01 drivers) that increase FPS even more.. Anyone who didn't know should check them out.

He said mostly at high, not all at high.

Iam using a 7900GTX and its very playable at 1280x1024, all high but with medium shadows/shaders.

I can run it 1024x768 with the XP very high hack, its playable but i wouldn't cool it smooth, and AA is awful at that res.

Think iall be getting a 8800GT though, as amazingas it looks on my current video card i can't help but want more.

GUESS WHAT!!! SOMETIMES, PEOPLE GET BETTER FPS THAN BENCHMARKS SHOW.... YOU NEED TO REALIZE BENCHMARKS DON'T = EVERYONES PERFORMANCE.

Those were also on theolder drivers.

I dare you to show me one benchmark that shows a 7900GT being playable on high settings...I dare you...But but the drivers..Give me a break...Drivers aren't going to allow you to change the settings from medium to high, and improve the frames per second at the same time..

.... you didn't get the point of my post obviously... The new drivers are a serious 15 FPS better. That means you can crank it up another setting. Stop being an complete **** and realize that MAYBE JUST MAYBE his PC gets good framerates. PC's are odd creatures like that. Setups that are IDENTICAL will experience different performance for seemingly arbitrary reasons. THATS HOW IT WORKS. MAYBE he is telling the truth. Infact, HE IS telling the truth.

Yeah..I doubt you too..No way you get an average of over 35FPS at "all very high" and 1680x1050 resolution. Each graphical setting kills fps by like 50%

Highs settings is believable, but not "very high:

Not all of the graphics settings on Crysis depend on the video card. For example, physics and water effects dont even touch the card. they go straight to the processor. Hence why I run textures on high, physics on high, shaders on low, water effects on high,post processing on high, and everything else on low. I have a 6800 GS.

Prove it. It's not that hard to find. A 7900GT being playable on high settings is laughable at best. Heck I'll make it even easier for you..He said it was "mostly high" settings, I bet you can't find any proof whatsoever that remotely comes close to proving a 7900GT can run Crysis at above an average of 30FPS and on MEDIUM settings, let alone almost high.

lets talk facts here. just facts. We know for a fact that there was a recent driver update which received unanimous praise in regards to increasing Crysis framerates. That, in and of itself, makes your chart illegitimate. And any dumbell can make up a chart like that and pass it off as legit. You need a source and a date.

i beleive thats what they call ownage... let me just double check... yup yup just as i thought

$1000 or so and you'll be rocking Crysis.Heil68

yea if i had a gaming rig i would be pumped people just hate on it because they cant play... like most people around here. i will play it in a year or so when i can upgrade my PC

how about I one up that... Here is the custom, forced into Very High/Ultra High DX9 screenshots running on an 8800 GTS 640 MB. He has modified the console variables to run the game with several settings at Ultra High (longer view distance, better godrays, more realistic water algorithm, etc.)

here you have it, Very High with partial Ultra High settings enabled at ~30 FPS(that is a demanding screenshot because of the large amount of objects in it.)

PS - that screenshot is also compressed to fit... its native resolution was 1280x1024 but imageshack compressed it.

EDIT - That is also on the 169.01 drivers which are now old.

Lol.. n Very high my computer runs Crysis at 15 FPS.. Well that is DX9.

And I got the same card as you have..

Well on High I can run it at some 30 FPS with some lower resolution.. But that is on high..

I dunno how to apologize to you that your PC doesn't get as good performance as others but...

Anyway, like Gamespot said, the final build runs amazingly smooth. this is only the Beta Demo after all...

here are two more Very High screenshots....

Both running on....

Q6600 Quad Core @ 3 ghz
4 gig of Corsair DDr2800 @ 1000 mhz
XFX 8800 GTS 640 meg XXX @ 680 core/2200 Mem
Windows XP SP2
Forceware 169.01 Beta

1680x1050 no AA
30+ FPS average!!
Absolutely gorgeous and smooth

So... willing to admit defeat?

benchmarks just about always how lower fps then the card can run the game in the real world, also they are averages so a lot of the time it can be faster

I notice in the benchmarks that the X1950 PRO is handily ahead of the 7900GT. X1K series shader power FTW!Makari

still not sure why that benchmark didn't use theGeForce 7950 against the X1950.... the 7950 is way better than the 7900...

7900GT = Low Settings at best with 4xAA @ 1280x1024 resolution.

It works both ways, they are averages so at times it's slower too
