official how does crysis run on your laptop thread

i have yet to get one just to play this awesome game, can't play it on curent comp cause its 4yrs old and upgrading is too costly, so im just gonna get a new laptop to play this ! gonna get it in summer with all specs on max!
getting a xps m1530 with a 8600gt and a 2.5ghz core2duo to play

 

I'm getting my 1530 tomorrow with those specs, point me to where I can download Crysis (demo) and I'll tell ya how it plays .

 

go to here

 

there will be a button called download demo on the very top of the page.

 

don't you have anything better to do than creating OFFICIAL pages...btw, crysis dx10 runs great in medium setting and 1024 res on 1530...u might need a notebook cooler though...

 

Didn't you PM me about Crysis not too long ago? I remember responding. Anyway, 1650x1080 @ medium settings worked from very well to okay in DX10, somewhat better in DX9. Don't expect the world out of this game. As quickly as I played through it I uninstalled it. Zero replay value.

 

Well it's downloading - 1.8GB's, gonna take a few hours. I'll try it out on the XPS if it comes tomorrow.

 

the game is amazing in the begining, but when it gets to the alien part, it gets boring..a little. and there isnt much multiplayer server to play on...
almost realistic graphic would give u feeling that ur watching a movie than playng it..

 

Ahem... I still don't see any "official" numbers? Anyone want to run the GPU bench?

 

Runs terrible on my 2.4Ghz M1530 8600M GT.

Unless you're getting a minimum framerate of at least 25-30, no game is 'smooth'. To get a min framerate of 25, that means your average should really be around the mid 40s. The only way you'll get that kind of Crysis framerate on a M1530 is with all settings to low, or a stupid-low resolution. Which makes the game pointless, seeing as the main attraction of Crysis is the amazing graphics.

I really can't understand all the people who get 15-20FPS in Crysis and then say 'Crysis runs great on my machine!!!'. They must be drunk, or have really bad eyes or something.

 

Ya I have not even bothered on my 1530. On my desktop I use Very High "on the cheap", Natural Mod, Edge AA, 1680x1050, DOF, no Motion Blur (IIRC)... I average ~29 FPS on the GPU bench.

 

So far you've started 2 'Official' threads about a system you admittedly will not own until summer.

Funny...

 

yeah so, ur point is rhodan? i started this thread to see what settings people can play crysis on... and the OFFICIAL is there to attract people to the thread... there isn't rly much else official about it..

 

yes, according to you , i have nothing better to do.. anyways i want to know that i will be able to do what i want to do on the laptop im getting. u know, i don't want like 2.5k to go down the drain..

 

Have you tried searching before starting a new thread?

oh, didn't look like 20 pages in but thanks rhodan,

 

on my m1530 without overclocking i ran it at 1280x800 all very high settings,except low shaders and med shadows
gave me an average of 20 ~25 fps...
lowest was like... 8fps, and highest? was 30.

 

With Shaders and Shadows on High with everything else at medium, I get 21-24 FPS avg.
Min 16
Max 64(when looking at the sky)

note: Oc'd to 600/1200/900

 

xpsm1330, doesn't overclocking void u r warantee? and besides it make ur comp run real hot, thats what i heard at least..

 

OC'ed to 580/445, everything medium, 1024x768, I still only get 29 average. I gave up on Crysis and conveniently forgot to reinstall in after I reformatted Windows.

 

saw that and made me laugh

Saw this and laughed some more.

So let me get this straight you are going to max out a laptop to play crysis?
When you can build a pretty damn good computer for 2.5k that can play crysis and beyond...

No offense to the m1530 owners its great lil laptop just recently picked one up for my lil bro, but i dont expect him to be able to run crysis like how my NP5793 can play crysis not to mention how my desktop plays crysis.

 

good point. nobody could have said it better

 

What is this official this and official that that's cropping up all over lately?

 

I guess it's easier to start a new thread and call it 'Official' than search and find the information already posted on the subject.

We should all do this.

 

the engine of crysis is so good that even though fps are low, the game will look like it is smooth.and oh yeah it helps if you are drunk.

 

yeah but i also need it to be portable and i will be going to college soon and i will need a laptop. well sure a desktop can play games at 1920*1200 but i would find it hard to lug around like 80 lbs on campus :laugh:

 

Who in thier right mind would lug around a 80lbs desktop? Damn that desktop must be from the 70s thats pretty heavy for todays desktops.

As far as i see with your notebook purchase dilemma i say wait till its around summer when you actually purchase the m1530 who knows by then they may have a better graphics card in the options(doubtful), and some other tid bits IF they switch it over to montevina platform (again doubtful).

 

i saw an article saying that the 9600m gt is possibly coming to the m1530 btw.

 

The main reason to play crysis is the graphics. Without the amazing graphics, the game isnt to great. On a m1530, it will play on medium graphics, get 30 fps (if that), but it will be choppy, and in my opinion, not worth playing. You will have to play on low to get good frame rates, and that ruins the point of the game. if u want the full crysis expierence on a laptop, go for a 17" sager or the 15" alienware m15x, both with 8800m GT's. But both of those will be $3000 at least. Its best to leave crysis to desktops, because a 1,500$ one can play it very well.

The m1530 is for older classics such as Doom III, FEAR, and HL:2, and even a few newer games (with *decent* performance) such as UT3 and bioshock

 

I've heard that said quite often, but I don't agree at all.

Crysis is an action game. The blur effects might make the transition from one frame to the next look smoother, but the fact is - if you're only getting something like 10-15FPS during an intense gunfight, you're just not getting visual information fast enough for the fights to be fluid and enjoyable.

It might look ok when you're walking around doing nothing, but for an action game, that's too low a framerate to be worth bothering with (imo)

 

why dont you buy a good desktop and then spend watever you have on a 13 inch laptop...the chances are you wont play game in the campus in the sociology class......

 

Well I got the XPS, awesome laptop. Just tried the Crysis demo on it now with all settings on high (might try on very high later) and the default resolution, think it was 1024x760 or something like that. Basically, it ran perfectly, absolutely no lag, very high fps even in the fire fights. My specs are T9300 processor, 8600 GT GDDR3, 2GB RAM (havnt upgraded that yet). I'll get an fps display and tell you my averages if you want. As for the game, it's really not that great aside from the graphics. It just plays too much like halo in plot and gameplay cept replace the covenant with koreans, nothing new, just good graphics. And it has basically no replay value.

 

I like replaying the Korean levels. Have not replayed much past the ship. Never played it on my laptop.

 

how good does it look at the default resolution?
