PaiN Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 I finished Sacred2, I'm taking a break until the PhysX patch is out for another play through as an Inquisitor and waiting on DCS: Black Shark in two weeks. So, with nothing to play and time to kill I decided to dust off Crysis..I played once when it was first released.....I want to say I had a C2D 6600/8800GTX set up(not 100% sure) at the time. I remember, being frustrated at the constant low FPS and the logy battles, I had to use "medium" and no AA and it was still slow....the final battle on the aircraft carrier was like a side show. Fast forward to running Crysis on the PC I have today with the v1.2 patch.....I can't believe how slick the game runs now, High settings, 1920x1200, 2xAA Its completely smooth(not to mention stunning). My eye can not detect a slow down anywhere, I can now appreciate what a cool shooter Crysis is. I'm looking forward to this second play through.

Timmy94 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Yeh, once i played crysis my 2nd time with my gtx295 rather than my 4850, it looked heaps better on very high and there was no lag at all either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkrow21 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Looking at the systems I'm surrounded by in RL I consider my HD4850 to be a god. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
battery Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 i'm still on a 7900gs. i'm supposed to be receiving an 8800gt via a cs:s sponsorship, but its been a month so i'm no longer holding my breath. my e4300 @ 290x9 isn't helping anything either, but i should be getting a conductive pen from my old job at ati. my old boss is supposed to be dropping it of tomorrow. he was supposed to drop it off last weekend. i want my bsel mod NOW! lol. although my crappy g31 m7 te isn't going to give me much, but i'd be happy with 3ghz. especially if i can volt mod the vdimm beyond 1.8v and get tighter timings. 483mhz at 5-5-5-15 1.8v isn't bad i suppose, but 4-4-4-12 would be nicer.

Krieg1337 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Pain did you use the big monitor you have now? Or a smaller one? Because I play Crysis on High with no AA @ 1440x900 with my HD2900PRO, with lag only happening when I zoom in with the sniper scope Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaiN Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 ya know??? ...I was thinking about this. Crysis came out in Nov of 2007......I'm now not sure if I had an AMD64\7900GTX setup or the C2D\8800GTX at the time no matter I guess, the game plays a hell of a lot better now...to say the least Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nalcyon Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 I think farcry2 did a lot better using the crytek engine. It seems to me that crysis was made... inefficiently? As in a lot of graphics but putting an unneccesary load on the hardware. That being said, it is a fun game and of course it is fun to use as a benchmark whore.
