loco145,

Your GTX is at 55c on LOAD???!!! My Radeon HD3850 sat on 66C on stock clock on load and on 71C OC'd on load. Are you using an aftermarket cooler on your card?

If you are getting artifacting at 55c on load, it definitely isn't your card. CPU may have been damaged from the overclock.

[QUOTE="ElectricNZ"]20 fps is horrible. 30 fps is a BARE minimum.Swiftstrike5

no solid 20 fps in crysis is somehow ok

It's impossible to hit anything that moves when the game is running at 20FPS. Sure, it's fine for running around looking a trees, but you start noticing lag as you try and track a target. I can't play a game with a FPS less than 30. I think the game is much more enjoyable at a higher fps then a higher graphics setting.

I run Crysis at 1024X768 on my 17" LCD with Palit Radeon HD 3850 SUPER, because I want the highest FPS possible with decent resolution. I don't bother with AA or AF on any game because eye candy doesn't mean anything to me. All I care about is FPS. That said, I'm averaging 34.9 FPS with everything on Medium. High Detail and max settings in Crysis only works if you have a high end video card, 19" -22" LCD, and a Quad Core CPU at 2.8Ghz or more, and my system is not high end like all of yours, but my baby gets the job done.

Crysis is one of my favorite games of all time. I love the graphics and game play. The only thing I don't like are the VTOL controls (ARRGHHH.. STUCK ON THAT PART!!! AAAAARGGG!!!!).

You seem to be pretty emotional in your dislike of the game. If it's that dissatisfying to you, sell it on Ebay and buy something else that you like. It's just a game man, not a religion or life or death choice. I'm just happy to be getting 34.9 FPS in Crysis after my video card upgrade. It's the one game out there that can bring systems and video cards to their knees.

[QUOTE="JnWycliffe"]hmm... after getting a bit more information about the install limit (3 installs *period* - installing, then uninstalling, then reinstalling on the same computer will count as two!), i'm decidedly against ALL ea games and i will not be purchasing any of their games, no matter how good they are. *cries for crysis warhead, mirror's edge, and dragon age*pcgamer_07

Is that how it is? I was under the impression that you can install it on the same computer as many times but if you make any changes to the hardware or do something like reinstall the OS then you'll lose an activation.

I guess I'll find out if Crysis works after I install my Palit Radeon HD3850 SUPER this evening. If there are any problems, I will report them here.
