M18x and Crysis 3 Performance Thread

Any one try the patch for Crysis they released as of yet ??

 

So after reinstalling drivers i forgot to switch on sli before running crysis 3. As i played not realizing this i thought dang the game doesn't lag/ fps going up and down like crazy. Of course i wasn't hitting as high frames as i did with 2 cards but i wasn't having huge drops either. And even in areas where it showed both cards being used at 90 percent or higher and frames were 50 or higher i was still getting around 40 frames or higher with one card and didn't suffer with one card with those nasty fps drops. So at the moment, this game is horribly optimized for sli, probably only getting maybe at 10 to 15 percent increase with sli even when it shows both cards be fully used. Quite a shame cause the game is gorgeous. Mp plays great though, kinda of wierd, its usually the other way around, sp plays great, mp needs help. Guess the devs spent all their time on the mp and then said, lets throw sp in there for the hell of it.

 

Do you really mean Crysis, or Crysis 3? I don't see any patch for Crysis 3 and the latest patch for Crysis is from 2011.

 

Maybe Garry means this MultiPlayer Patch? - MyCrysis Forums - MP Data Patch A - Now Live!

 

they did just patch crysis 3

That sucks as it's a multi player patch......nothing about single player fixes.

 

They only did particle optimisation on the multiplayer??? seems a bit daft

There's patch notes. Doesn't do much if your running it very high, still stutters all over the place.

 

But this means they're working on it. I'm sure, since they are well aware of the single players issues, they will release a patch for that soon enough. I think they just prioritized, since the majority of gamers are focused on the multiplayer for now. I'm positive it's on our way.

C3 runs actually really great on two 7970m in cfx. all Settings at very high except AA (here fxaa) min 45fps max 90 fps and average 57fps. the beta6 has a really good cfx-profile, which hits the cards every time to 99% usuage for users they have an unlocked bios installed: u have to enable smt (hyperthreading) in bios, because the game benefits of those virtual cpus. there is also a mod from maldo available that increases the ht-performance and uppers the image Quality if you want. i hope those tips will help you to get a better Performance.

 

Glad that all is working well for you. Enjoy this great game

 

I want this game so dang bad, but I don't want to give Origin 60 of my hard-earned dollars.

 

Yeah, it could be argued that a 5 hours game isn't worth 60 bucks. But then again, we're all guys that are fine with paying thousands on laptops lol. The graphics are worth the price of admission by themselves. Nothing else out there looks as good... you spent a hefty chunk of change on hardware so you can play games just like this one... What's 60 bucks more to really find out what your hardware can do?

 

Yes, we own amazing gaming machines and want to see them crunching games Thing is that even in spite of the great developing effort and the investment behind a game like Crysis nowadays titles are indeed over-priced. Either we get them right away and pay for it, or wait until the price drops and becomes more reasonable and affordable.

As far as the campaign goes I agree that it was unexpectedly quite short. Even though this doesn't take it away from the amazing visual experience, great action, and drama (yup, you heard me, just play and see), the shortness of this third installment got me a pang of disappointment--in comparison with the former game it feels more like a Crysis 2 expansion. Well, we are never happy aren't we?

Much cheaper!

 

LOL, I'm right there with you. I loaded my Origin shopping cart at least 4 times today with Crysis 3 Digital Deluxe Edition. I just cannot stand the idea of paying $80 for that, or $60 for the standard version. At my preferred price point, that's enough for 3 or 4 games that I could purchase, and I know I'll be able to pick it up at a sale for only $20 to $25 in another 6 to 9 months.

 

Not a great video but this is a short video of how my game play looks with current settings. Running on hardest difficulty

specs in the description.


Hope you guys enjoy

EDIT: Added another video

 

Nice vid. I made my own, but I gave up on uploading it since it took 2 hours for 30 seconds of video, and I recorded about 20 minutes. Looks like cfx handles Crysis 3 really well though.

 

It looks great, nice vid, man. AMD really nailed it with this game :thumbsup:

 

Cheers its really about time these 7970's can show their true potential.

Tired the new patch, gaines 2-3 avarage FPS so now its stable over 10 with everything on very high excpent shading/shadow and blur off along with FXAA.

At this speed I might be able to enjoy 30 FPS at christmas

 

Everything maxed out, except turned off completely AA (if I max this out I drop to 20 fps :s).
Also have this AA problem with Far Cry 3, get loads of FPS when completely turned off, but when I turn it on, the FPS drops significantly to also 40-45fps.

Getting between 40-45fps on average with a SLI 680 setup in Crysis 3 now.
Come on NVidia, ATI owners had enough fun, now unleash it! Don't make me grab my m17x

 

8xMSAA is extremely demanding, it generally cuts frame rates in half from my experience. I'm surprised it killed your performance that much though. I played a few levels at 8x and the lowest I saw was 30fps, with an average around 40. I don't seem to be experiencing any performance issues or stuttering, either (aside from underutilization during some cutscenes and at select points in the game.)

 

Nice video bro!

 

How many cpu cores does the game use? Anybody checked that yet? All this under utilization of the gpu's is probably caused by the game not being properly multicore optimized as is the case with almost all console ports.

 

The engine uses up to 8 cores. it is one of the less games where a amd fx-cpu is faster than a Intel core i7 quad. otherwise the game uses also smt (hyperthreading) and scales very good with the core frequency. with nv_inspector i would try a another sli-bit to get more performance.

btw. read this - maybe it helps to understand http://maldotex.blogspot.de/

 

Than everything points to a driver issue on nvidia's part. Well at least AMD's working fine for a change. lol

 

I googled and found this: Crysis 3 Beta-Test: 50 Downsampling-Screenshots plus Technik-Einschätzung - Bildergalerie, [Crysis_3_MP-Beta_Nvidia_Inspector_PCGH.png]

I think this is the way to go for a good sli-Performance in c3

 

What am I looking at, as it doesn't say me anything... ><
My german, outside some dutch -> german jokes, is also very bad, so that doesn't help either ^^

 

An instruction in english - unfortunallity it´s not actual, but i think it should help to understand how to use the tool.

Edit: The best Sli-bit is 0x005040F5

 

I'm not having any issues either. I have to dial down the AA to cap at 60fps, but that's all.

 

I dont need to see another person with Crossfire telling that the game is running smoothly

 

Then it´s bad for u to know, that there is a beta7 availible that uppers the Performance as well

 

I remember Turbod recently went green. How's the 7970m sale going btw?

 

Haha, Im so close just ordering a destop with Titian now

 

I wouldn´t do that, except you will not Play the new tomb-raider game. with sweetfx effects you´ll probably have the same Performance like a HD7770

 

I might try these beta 6's out. To be honest it still sucks needing to switch off AA to get around 60fps+.

 

Nvdias next Beta driver is likely to fix these issues. 680m sli can still put out far superior performance when overclocked compared to the 7970m cfx in many other games. No reason to think crysis 3 will be any different.

 

Now, now, both companies lag behind in certain titles, it will just take nvidia time to iron out issues.

 

Let's stick to the topic, please. We shouldn't really care which card is better, considering that the subject has already been plenty covered here in this forum and... everywhere else on the net. I find it silly that there's still "my card is better than yours" kind of attitude around. All we should be hoping is that both solutions will always perform well in games (a reminder that we are a nice community here, whose members are willing to help each and not show hostility toward who may have a different configuration or still hasn't achieved optimal performance in games). Now, in regards of Crysis 3 it appears that NVIDIA doesn't translate well certain in-game code or (un)optimizations; reason why all 'M18x brotherhood' should show support and hope all the brothers across this board will be able to play and enjoy the game asap. No need to make Crysis 3 an umpteenth motive for division or competition--there's a fantastic and well-organized benchmark thread here if you feel competitive or want to push your rig's limits and compare your result with others. You have an AMD card and are happily enjoying the game? Good for you bro! Just wish green-carded owners will be able to to do the same soon :thumbsup:

Peace

 

This is why I posted how my setup was performing.

I installed beta 7. There's a small performance boost, but I am mostly noticing that the framerate is more constant and not drifting around as much.

No go man. Buyer backed out on eBay, and then SemiGamer let a Dell 7970M go for a song, so I'm back to CrossFire. I still have that 680M heatsink giving me the evil eye from my computer desk though.

 

I know. The driver itself is just for cfx-users only. single-gpu users have problems with performance and stability.

 

On my machine (signature) it makes no difference whether or not I play it on High or Very High with MSAA x2. It feels exactly the same. Which is near butter-smooth, except in action-packed moments. I think my CPU is bottlenecking the game, since I checked the GPU temps after and it never maxed out its temps (it usually maxes out at around 82 celsius but for crysis it was staying at 76). The CPU, however, was absolutely maxed at 95 celsius for multis of 26/25/22/20. If you guys are having performance issues, that's just weird.

 

I went ahead and broke from my tradition of not paying more than $20 for a game. I really hate that I spent a lot on it, but it's definitely an awesome game. I can still say that Crysis is my favorite game franchise of all time. I stopped at the Alpha Ceph being set loose. I played for 6 hours after work, so it's time for bed, LOL.

It seems to play pretty well for me, though. Incredible image quality and as smooth as glass. No complaints even with moderate frame rates. I saw some lower than great FPS, but no stuttering or choppiness to speak of. This is with Forceware 314.07, stock core and memory on GPUs and 4.0GHz on CPU.

 

Hmm, I dont get it then...

 

This makes me happy i have a bit before my delivery date im really looking forward to playing Crysis 3 , Quick question how come the stock clocks on the GPU what vBios are you using to game?

 

Way to go Fox - I had a feeling you couldn't quite resist this one!. It's quite weird that the game is so smooth even at low frame rates. As I said before, playing at 2560x1600 I see frames drop down sometimes to mid 20's and occasionally a bit lower but the game remains totally smooth with no stutter or anything that would make the experience disappointing. I hope for even better things to come, when Nvidia and Crytek nail down the early problems that team green have experienced.

 

Well, in my case i can identify framerate drops by input lag. When it drops, i start getting a feeling that the input feels slower. Not by much though. And the game still looks perfectly smooth. I'm guessing frame latencies must be completely even, since i've not had even a single case of stutter.

 

I get the same feeling when I hit my throttle point. There is not much beyond buying an alienware that I can do to improve it any further however
