Truth about Crysis. Let all consolities know this!

Crysis on the highest settings isnt playable so why post screenshots of it? Even 2 9800GX2's cant play the game on 1680x1050 with 2xaa. I laugh my ass off when they say pc gaming is cheap and an 8800GT can play the game on very high.

This is how Crysis looks like on playable settings on a 9800GTX let alone 8800GT

So please stop posting screenshots of Crysis that are not playable and if you dont just admit PC gaming isnt cheap 2 98800GX2= $1200

How interesting...

That screenshot is ancient ...

Sorry but I can with a 8800 GTS .. with no AA 1680 x 1050, Very High Shaders/textures and it looks exactly like that ( bar some more distant jaggies ) at 25-30 FPS (Playable).

Dou you know that 2 9800GX2s struggle to play at that resolution?

I take it you notice the resolution?

well im using xp so i cant go very high but high looks pretty much identicle

it plays smoothly on my 8800gs which was 89.99 at newegg

other specs are 3.0ghz pentium 4 ht

2gb ddr400

(my machine sux and it plays smoothly on high)

(resolution- 1152x864-the highest my monitor goes up to)

its an osm game

Guess you never seen this Link

that is a like of 2 9800GX2's running it in SLi

Even that looks better than Console games. And the physics are top notch. I didn't find the game enjoyable however.waynehead895

cause you have to create the fun unlike scripted crap like cod4

Do you know your blowing it way out of porportion?

I have an 8800GT, but I play on all low settings on purpose because I do not want the "graphics" to affect my opinion of this game, I want to judge it based on the gameplay quality and the story quality.

I uninstalled it after 4 hours of playtime. Single player is terrible, online is laughable.

Do you know that at that resolution, AA is pretty much unnecessary and that you're halving your performance by enabling it?

I have an E8400 cpu with 2gb corsair ram, and a single 9800gtx OCX by BFG, and I can run it on every setting on VERY HIGH at 1280x1024 and it plays smooth as butter with minimal frame rate drops, as in doesnt drop below 25fps.

When you ahve it that high, who needs AA. Oh, and i build my own computers, and it was under $1000 and runs everythign on the market, plus i can upgrade to sli anytime for added performance in the future. My computer will out perform ANY ps3 or 360 title for their entire existance, as computer games get more complex and graphically beautiful, the consoles will continue to stay bottlenecked by their hardware.

Strange. My computer isn't anywhere near that powerful, yet I play it just fine and it looks much better on my computer than that.

No, that isn't like 2, its actually 4. I guess if you got over 2 grand just to spend on your videocards, that works, otherwise, I guess you are SOL.

Of course. I'm not one of those crazy persons claiming PC gaming is as cheap as console gaming. My own PC was $2800. But I believe computer parts are significantly more expensive here than in USA, sadly :/

Crysis showed us that traditonal graphics rendering is useless for photorealistic graphics. Ray Tracing is the next step.Wasdie

IOW, it's gonna be a while yet, and even then it'll be far from perfect.

Doesnt mather how much the PC costs, it is superior either way by leagues. Now anyone notice how the OP said 1680*1050p resolution WITH 2xAA?

Yes enabling AA easily cuts the perfomance by 50%. Having 2 8800GTX in SLI I can say 'very high+' at 1280*1024 runs 30-40fps with 16xAF and vsync on.

Well done mate...someone needed to say this. I play on 8800GTX, all high, not very high, most stuff on high, but shadows on medium and get average 40FPS, for me less than 40 is not playable, with all on high I get 25-30 FPS, but I'd rather put shadow to medium and gain 10 FPS. It still looks great, and physics are awesome, but yes, I call BS on a lot of the screenshots ppl make. ALso take not most SLI is also BS. A lot of games dont support it properly, and its a great way to kill the planet and destroy your wallet when running a PC cost you 300 sterling or $600 a year in electricity.hywel69

Crysis runs great with SLI as of latest patches. A high-end PC with a single GPU draws barely more or even less Watt than a PS3.

Rolf anyone notice people saying they have low framerate with high-end yet nobody of those post what resolution they are using or even if AA is on? lol

Strange its playable on my machine and looks way better than that shot:

Where is the **** fps?

Nice screenshot :P

But yh it's true that if it isn't at a playable frame rate then it doesn't count.

You might as well post pictures from movies else,like spiderman 2 and say that loks better than anytihng else.

Stevo_the_gamer

Created for screenshot thread and some time ago and I dont have the habit of having debuging info onscreen. Makes the screenshots "dirty" asthetically. Hey where is the framerate counter for the console screenshots around the web? rofl

BTW you even need a framrate number for the medium ss? should be clear even a 7900GT can run it 20-40fps at those settings.

blacktorn

The image he posted has a fraps number to the left sayig 31fps, tell me if that is not worse than 98% of all the console games that run at 30fps or worse!

Considering that image is not from a gx2 especially not with a medium-high mixed setting at that res with that framerate!

Crysis is the only game I have trouble running. All my other games can run in 1920x1200(I own a 24" Dell Ultrasharp) with highest settings and still get well over 50FPS. Crysis just hates me I guess. :(

Just taken these two now (I usually get a constant 30FPS, even when I'm blowing something up its still playable), my setup is a Q6600, 8800GTS 640MB, 2GB RAM:

i have no idea of it can or cant, but that video you linked to said it was quad-core sli meaning 4 9800GX2's running in SLi.

so......... yea:)
