Official 'CRYSIS' thread...

[Xerotolerant]

i have similar specs to you and any FSAA i enable = slideshow in menu(never bother with ingame) . i could do high in certain things like post processing and shader effects without any visible shutter. if i raise the textures to very high(using mod thing) looks spendid. that plus very high post processing and very high shader effects slows but for some reason the motion blur makes the shutter less evident when i spinning around. i was wondering if anyone else notice that, or if its just me.

well the final game is out. has anyone 'acquired' it as yet? 6.03gigs so u kno.

If you put it all together, Crysis is just remarkable. This is a game that pushes the envelope in terms of both technology and gameplay and does so with aplomb. Crysis raises the expectations for every shooter to follow when it comes to graphics, interactivity, environments, immersiveness, AI, and gameplay. Quite simply, Crysis represents the first-person shooter at its finest, most evolved form.

Ahh.... I smell an untimely PC upgrade coming...

Crysis with hacked settings has officially told my pc to sod off and come back when he grows up

Over 30 fps on high but from the time i used the hacked settings, it was like, well, 10 - 15 fps

I shall beat back the 'barbarians at the gate'  at 1440 x 900 with my 8800 GT, which is on its way.

...and no, I'm not selling my GTS...yet.

After much messing about in the very early hours of the morning, I finally worked out why the 64-bit version of Crysis would not run. For some reason in the Nvidia control panel when the V-Sync option is set to "Use the 3D application setting" and the Multi-display/mixed-GPU acceleration setting on "Multiple display performance mode" the 64-bit version would instantly lock up. Changing these settings to “Force On” and “Single display performance” allowed us to finally run the 64-bit version. The results were quite good...

As you can see the claims made by Crytek that the 64-bit version would allow for 10-15% more performance were very accurate. At 1440x900 we saw an 18% rise in performance favouring the 64-bit version while the 1680x1050 resolution also enjoyed an 18% increase in performance. There was even a 16% gain in performance at 1920x1200 which was most impressive. It would appear after all, that running Crysis in 64-bit mode when possible is very worthwhile indeed.

Runs off to install Vista 64bit before the "acquisition" is complete in a few hours.

Okay so I just beat crysis about 3 mins ago and decided to give some feedback

My first impressions .... Far Cry

My last impression .... Boy this game was short and Crysis 2

And in between all that. The most impressive destructive environments and physics i have seen to date.

The graphics was well, something else. But it just seemed like a somewhat improved version of far cry.

However the mix of the sound, story, gameplay, sound, physics and graphics make this a game worth owning ORIGINAL.

In closing i must say that the developers have done a really great job at this game,

I just preferred call of duty 4

[UltimateGamer]

Allright so i had a double go at crysis

Namely I couldn't get the full effect of it because of well, i couldn't play it on the highest graphics smoothly.

Well I did some testing and for all you 8800 guys out their, this is the best IQ for the frames.

3 things that murder your frames except for AA

1/ Your resolution - The biggest culprit <-- It was less expensive to drop the res to 1280 x 720 and 8xQ AA than to play on 1440 x 900 with no AA
2/ Object Detail - This bad boy here has so many objects to make look pretty, it really destroys your frame rate, so medium does the trick
3/ Texture - Your main glitches in the game when it comes to walking or just looking around and their is any sticking lies right here. Medium will do the trick

Every Other setting was on the hacked version of high and I must say the cut scenes are alot smoother and doesn't look like a kung fu movie

And the graphics becomes the eyecandy that you wanted without sacrificing the frames that you need to enjoy this very best fps.

Yes my opinion change because now I am playing it over and everything runs so smoothly its really beautiful.

The only hiccup is a little jaggy edges.

But I wonder, why is it that bioshock and cod 4 and even airborne was able to achieve such beautiful graphics without
the cost that this game takes on your system.

Anyway, I hope this saves you alot of tweaking time (8 series owners) so you can just get down and dirty

Your old pal,

nVidia's drivers 169.xx disables some of the effects in the game. Rename crysis.exe to driverbug.exe and check out the difference

[W1nTry]

Ah yes... game tweaking... aka cheating... brings me back to the 3DMark2001SE days...

[Arcmanov]

Well...I FINALLY got my Crysis Special Edition and propmtly fired that biatch up.



Its safe to say that the final version runs just the same as the demo, but it seems
to actually make more use of all four cores in a quad-core system (according to task manager).
Of course it still murders the 8800 GTS 320 MB.  Users of the 640 MB can actually get away
with 2 x AA at most lower resolutions because of the extra RAM.

We shall see how performance increases with the 8800 GT.

[Kaizen]
