yes you're right there, there is a bottleneck but for the moment (with my overclock) its not so bad. thats why im baffled. a 6870 gets 40 fps average in this, while my more powerful 5870 is still sluggish. the slowdown shouldnt be anywhere near as drastic with such a small bottleneck..

as for HDMI no i use a DVI connection on my dell 24" U2410 i think

yes but you see, my HD5870 OCd is equal to your GTX470 only the gmae was created on Nvidia hardware so you're bound to have massive preformance differences - same thing happened with the first game. so you sir can't help me out, if i had an nvidia card yes but i dont. - don't feel like breaking the bank

i expected the performance to drop from 60 in dx9 to something like 20-35 but its gone way lower, and its choppy. i have over 3 gigs of vram that i can use, but only 1gig dedicated i still dont see how it has gone so horrible

so, my rig is as follows:

Intel Core 2 DUO E8500 @ 3.7ghz

OCz PC2-6400 800mhz platinum ram 4gb (2x2gb)

WIndows 7 x64

Sapphire HD5870 Vapor-X (900/1300)

Seagate 650w black psu (or something...)

can anyone tell me why, i can run BFBC2 in DX11 mode, with 55 fps or more(19x12), but when i start up crysis 2 with the Dx11 patch installed aswell as the highres textures i get 13 fps avg(also 19x12, but even in any other res its still choppy as F**k) . i have the proper drivers, rig works fine in any other game, but now for some reason it seems crytek has made the performance of an amazingly optimized game worse than a home made porn video. can anybody help me out?

PS - i cannot upgrade, cuz im broke and my parts are out of the return date so i cannot replace any parts either

1080p with one GTX470 in metro 2033? you're more than capable. just remember, its the new Crysis (not crysis 2 cuz its barely demanding) graphics wise so it will kick your pc's ass. dont expect much higher than 40 fps at the max, 30+ is still very playable tho

yea you should be able to run it 19x12 with extreme config.. i havnt got a clue why u would be having frame rate issues. perhaps 6870 isnt optimized for it? or you need to update drivers...

i have Intel Core 2 DUO E8500 @ 4ghz

HD5870 vapor-x OC edition (900/1300)

4gb OCz 800mhz ram pc 6400

Asus P5Q-E

Windows 7 and i get 40-70 fps average in-game.

yoooo Crysis 2 = awesome sauce.

anybody heard any news on that DX11 patch tho?

what kind of rigs do u guys have and framerates in Crysis 2?

Runs like a dream by comparison to Crysis 1:

HD5870 + Intel Core2 DUO E8500 @ 3.2 + 4gb OCz Platinum PC2-6400 ram (800mhz) on Hardcore settings with Dx11 on i presume(?)

i get 50-90 fps average with everything highest (1920x1200 + hardcore + vsync, etc)

marvelous game :)

can someone plz answer my post?

Doubting this is the right thread for this question but:

Does Black and White 2 have any history of graphics issues with the HD5870 Vapor-X OC edition? or perhaps with Catalyst 11.2?

because there are some graphical options that are disabled that i used to have with my GTX260 OC

yes, but its apparently 100x more optimized. hence the word "scalable"
