How well will the G1S play Crysis?

Yeah neither of them are out yet but what do you guys think?

 

I'm guessing 2040 x 1920 resolution at 105FPS with 32x AA and all settings max.

Man, you couldnt ask a more hypothetical question if you tried.

Honestly though, I'd say it'd run it at about medium pace as the G1s is a mid level card. But you'd anticipate it needing quite a few patches to be good as both the 8xxx series drivers and a DX10 game are both in their early infancy.

 

We will know once the requirements for Crysis are released along with the demo and when someone tries it on a G1S.

 

Requirements are already available. Minimum 6600GT/X800GTO, recommended 7800GTX/X1800 and the usual suspects for CPU/HDD/RAM. Given the G1s is going to be sporting an M8600GT which is close to a 7800GTX, you can draw the assumption of medium level performance.

But yeah, until theres actual hardware and software available, its all theoretical......

 

I would also assume that it would run at a medium level of performance. But there is no way of knowing till both Crysis and the G1s is released. If the minimum is a 6600GT and it recommends a 7800GTX, then you can assume that a 6600GT would run Crysis on low settings, while a 7800GTX on high. So the G1s should be somewhere in the mid-high range.

 

I'm guessing mid -high with around 30-40 FPS if we are lucky.

 

would the G1's 7700 be able to run it AT ALL?

 

a 7700 is quite a few steps up from a 6600... granted this is a mobile chart, but i would bet it should be able to handle it..

sorry, just noticed previous post said the min was a 6600gt, so the chart may not be as applicable.

 

The 7700 512MB should be a good 20-30% faster than the desktop 6600GT GPU. There is no doubt it will be able to run Crysis, but probably on low-mid settings.

 

Yea, 8600M has some DX10 optimising features (meaning the performance difference between it and the 7700 will be MUCH more pronounced in a DX10 environment than a DX9c one.)

 

i see. thanks for the responses. for some reason i thought a DX9 card such as 7700 wouldn't be able to run DX10 games at all (not cuz it's not powerful enough, just cuz of incompatibility)

 

That's what I"m hoping because the 8600 benchmarks aren't too impressive. I'm just hoping that the dx10 will blow away the dx9 and make the 8600 a high end card compared to the 7700.

 

I just downloaded the Crysis SP demo on my G1S. In dx 10 mode put most on low (to get playable fps)
In dx9 mode you can put most on medium (to get playable fps) ....
I really hoped to play it better than that.


In december i'm going to put 3GB or 4GB ram in my G1S (than the GPU can use much more shared memory (up to 768MB) right? then i can play crysis better i hope)

 

Correct if i'm wrong but I don't see "shared" memory making it any faster. Like when you see a 256meg 8600, then a 512 meg 8600 people report the difference as neglible.

 

I saw on this forum 2GB ram vs 3GB ram in asus G1S:
In F.E.A.R. you had a big fps boost with 3GB ram....



So with 4GB ram i will have a big fps boost in all games? (also crysis)

 

Really? Hmmm, I too am considering 3gig of ram soon, but i've read here (with 4gig) that unless your running a 64-bit OS it will only recognize 3 to 3.25gig of the actual ram.

You should do a before and after benchmark, I would love to see what kind of in-game improvements that 3gig would bring

 

in the thread 'g1s 8600m gt vs f3sv 8600m gs' it showed that an f3sv with 3gb of system memory performed on par with the g1s 8600m gt only running 2gb. but clearly the G1s would beat the f3sv if they both had the same sys memory.

so to answer your question: yes an extra GB of memory WILL help the GPU performance a fair bit.

on another note, if you enable PAE (physical address extension?) on the bios, you can get 32bit vista to recognise all 4gb. i think this is correct but im not too sure.

 

How will a game perform better with more system ram if it isn't even using the amount of ram you already have. FEAR maxes out with everything on my c90 at 1680 x 1050 with no problems whatsoever.

The Crysis demo only uses 700 mb and Team fortress 2 only uses 800 mb, so I still have 500-800 mb left over which isn't even being used.

 

Right click the icon in games and select play dx9.

 

I was getting stable 25-30fps with everything high (except shaders and shadows were set at low) in 1280x800 using dx9 mode.

 

I've had TF2 use over a gig of memory for me ( I think it was like 1.128gb ).

 

Got g1s and with 1024x resolution and everything on low I get like 20-30fps and I do have the latest 169.01 forceware drivers from laptopvideo2go. Btw, how can I run crysis on dx9 mode? installing dx9 ?

 

To play in DX 9 go into ur start menu and then press the games button on te right side, where computer and docs are found. Then you'll see the crysis icon. Right click and choose run as dx9

 

I don't understand either, but there was a clear comparison earlier made on this forum with the G1S 2GB and 3GB, the 3GB gave double the FPS on FEAR. However, it seems that going up to 4GB actually slows down the system.

 

Is there a link providing this comparison? I ask because I'm considering purchasing the G1s, specifically because I want 4gb ram.
