All those who THOUGHT you could run Crysis well, hate to burst your bubble...

Crysis on a G80... And around 30 (or above) fps

Btw, that site doesn't download videos correctly sometimes, may hafta redownload, or wait...

 

It is at perfect detail though, but still......

It's excellent quality though, so don't let it stop you from downloading the marvelous vids...

But... It may not run on a 6600...

Hell, I'm starting to get afraid now :'(

 

Anyone reading should still take this with a bit of a grain of salt...

8800gtx is supposedly only 30% more powerful then a x1950xtx. R600 is 50% more powerful then anything this gen. Perhaps this is a bad example?

I dunno... It may yet still run on a 6600... But 30 fps on a 680 is scary (Although it could also be the Directx10 doing the talking...)

All I'm saying is, don't get your hopes up too much... A 6800 probably will, anything above that definately, vbut once again, don't get your hopes up...

 

What, I never expected my laptop could run Crysis, well maybe a 640 x 480 with everything off or lowest possible.

haha

 

Well the game isn't even completed yet, they are just running the latest build, it still has a few months of optimization to go through before it is released. I wouldn't judge its performance based on an unfinished game and unrefined drivers.

 

I was always sure that my laptop (sig) could run Crysis; it was only a matter of detail. This merely confirms what I thought. Thanks for the links!

Here you go, some more mirrors and info

 

Wondering if Crysis if be optimated for 64Bit CPU under vista and if it will be big diffrent from 32bit CPU when playing.

 

30fps hah maybe thats coz it was running on high res with high detail +AA and AF??

 

Did anyone see the size of that screen too?

 

Well the 7600 is roughly around the same power as a 6800.. especially overclocked like mine .. So things may be looking up!
Even to play crysis at med settings at a good fps (30+) would be cool..

 

I'm sure Crysis aren't so foolish that they would release a game that would not be playable on this generations mid-range gear at respectable levels.

-Firstly the game is not finished, that is just the latest build.
-That screen it is being played on looks biiiig.
-We don't know what resolution, AA/AF settings are being used.
-It could be running DX10 hardware level.
-8800GTX isn't out yet, there is still time for drivers to mature.

I wouldn't worry, course owning an MR X1300 means I'm probably never going to get to the loading screen anyway, but everyone with respectable laptops should be able to play it.

 

I wouldn't worry about it, the makers of crysis said they would optimize the game for the people with midrange GPU's of today. So i think a 6600 is a card that will run crysis smooth at 640*480 (30 fps) at low/medium detail. But it's still a guess.

At the moment the game will come out this wont be a midrange GPU, now at the moment it's almost a low end card...

 

I seriously doubt that the 6600 will only run Crysis at min settings!! Its not exactly a "weak" card!. To say that it would only run on 640x480 at min settings is rediculous!! IT should easily be able to play at 800x600 at min-med settings, avoiding any AA/AF..

 

The 6600 is a weak card at this stage.

I hate this argument, it goes on forever. Take a look for example of Call of Juarez - that game is currently already released and is bringing even 7600 owners to their knees, let alone Crysis, which will no doubt be ever more demanding. 6600GT - not even 6600 - owners have to run COJ on lowish settings to get it to work properly.

I would certainly imagine you're in for a major disappointment if you actually expect Crysis to run at 800x600 on medium settings on a 6600.

A "Mid-Range" GPU of today would be the X1600 or the 7600GT, both of which mobile counterparts are considerably weaker as well....

 

Can My computer run it? LOL probably not.

 

Oh wow, between a 6150 and a 6200? Not a chance.

 

Ok guys, "grain of salt" time. The game is running there at ridiculously high settings in that, plus it's running in DX10 mode more than likely. And DX10 is Vista exclusive. And Vista incurs a 60+% performance impact in CS:Source on my machine, and that's in DX9 mode. So be reasonable; at moderate settings on Windows XP, your 6600 will run Crysis just fine.

 

What do you mean, My card is more powerful then a 6150 and a 6200. I can run farcry at high settings at 1024x768. LOL. I can run fear at medium settings at 800x600 to. Lol

 

This speculation is worthless. lowlymarine and sionyboy are right.

The following have not been optimized:
1. Windows Vista.
2. DX10.
3. The GeForce 8800GTX drivers.
4. Crysis.

That's pretty much a lack of optimization at every stage.

Beyond that, does anyone remember when the Doom 3 Alpha got leaked? Leaks like these are bad news because they provoke knee jerk reactions that don't take into account just how much can change in development, and a LOT can change.

When Doom 3 finally came out it ran on a wide variety of hardware; my friend's AiW Radeon 8500DV even ran it plenty playably albeit at low settings.

Speculating on Crysis right now is worthless, the game is still deep in development, along with most of the components it'll rely on to run its fastest, and frankly I'm sick of even having this discussion or seeing it come up. It's a good thing I'm so interested in Crysis by myself, because the way this topic is beating it to death is almost enough for me to want to forget it.

 

im with u @_@ x1300

 

Pulp has the right idea. You can't accurately evaluate an incomplete product.

 

That sounds a bit outrageous to me. Vista normally incurs only about a 10-20% performance hit at worst.

 

Well pulp, you gotta remember a couple details:

1. Vista is on it's next to final build.
2. Crysis is only a couple months from completion.

Not much room for too much improvement. Just bug refinement. This is pretty much the way it'll go...

 

If you are a gamer, and you have a desktop, or a notebook with 200 gig of space, it might be a good idea to split your hdd into fragments and put vista into one for specific dx10 games, since it'll probably end up that you'll get a drop in performance...

 

Yeah, this would be the stage where the code is being optimized. While Vista itself may be getting ready to go live, I guarantee you the drivers for the 8800GTX in Vista aren't in great shape, especially when you consider how middling the driver quality is of existing hardware.

Crysis will also be going through heavy optimization right now to streamline code and optimize performance on different ranges of hardware.

If you really think Vista is on its next to final build, I've got a bridge to sell you. I have RC2 and while it's pretty impressive (certainly compared to earlier builds), it ain't ready for primetime, and Microsoft knows it.

This is a video driver issue. Some games incur a substantially worse performance hit.

 

Are you using the latest RC 5480 release on your laptop Pulp? I'm tempted to get it myself, but it involves partitioning, freeing up space, finding drivers etc. How easy did u find it to set up and configure?

 

I'm not buying a bridge, but thanks anyway.

Microsoft knows it, but don't tell the public. I don't have the exact link but supposedly it's going into production early to meet business users' schedules...

Perhaps the home version will be a bit more stable? or will we need to weait for SP1?

 

Well first of all 8800GT is out.
Game was running on 7800GTX on high settings in dual screen mode which means nothing - no fps loss. 7800GTX is not dx10 optimized however can run crysis at high settings... oh yea gaming under Vista sux so think up guys.

 

No it doesn't, I know many people using it and on the latest RC (5840 I believe) there are still a few issues to be ironed out but most are reporting that gaming is just as good on XP. And Vista still has some time left in development as well, as do all the drivers.

A few RC's ago this was true, but it is no longer the case.

 

oh yes it does sux for games. 10% performance decrease compared to XP.w8 for sp1.

 

You read The Inquirer too much. This is patently false.

Gaming in Vista will eventually meet and exceed XP, just as XP eventually met and exceeded 98. Right now, driver issues are keeping framerates down but they ARE being ironed out. Serious Sam II, for example, actually performs substantially FASTER in Vista than in XP.

 

When will the game come in store?

 

Soon after Vista hits the shelves, I'd assume. Q1 2007.

C.

 

Yay! I can't wait anymore

 

Did you mean release for Crysis or Alan Wake? Crysis is just listed as Q1 2007, Alan Wake is still TBA.

 

Does Crysis require vista?

 

Crysis does not require Vista, however if you want to play it with DX10 features you will need a DX10 card and Vista, since DX10 is only available on Vista. But it will play at DX9 on XP.

Alan Wake is Vista exclusive, but it will play on DX9 or DX10 runpaths.

 

All those movies of gameplay of Crysis and stuff are DX9?

 

I mean crysis.

 

In that case, its just been announced that Crysis has been delayed until at least April 2007.

 

I been using Vista RC2 since it released.

Gaming does NOT suck on Vista!!!

I tested ... SWAT 4, FEAR, DOOM 3, San Andreas & GTA3, Americas Army, Microsoft Flight Sim X, etc: etc: All worked flawless, and just as good as if I were on XP.

I tested ALL games at DEFAULT Graphics settings. Didn't tweak nothing but the control setting. And my Card is Borderline weak.

Not all games are compatible yet, Need for Speed Carbon installed perfectly but crashed every time on the opening credits.

If RC2 is this good as a BETA. Then I think the final release & also after some possible SP patches ...Vista will be the best windows OS yet.

 

Lol, Im just envious of all of u able to just run the game. I can't play many games on my X1100, oh well...I'll enjoy the videoclips.

 

Do you mean just as good in the objective, fps-graph sense, or the subjective, it-felt-as-smooth sense? I'd always assumed it'd be comparable once they got the messy betaness ironed out, but how it compares exactly... that'd be interesting information.

 

this is an old thread................anyway, when IS crysis coming out???

 

I'm guessing when Crytek made this game, they said to themselves: lets throw enough special effects in here to give an 8800GTX a heart attack.

The graphics are unparalleled, truly impressive stuff. Unfortunately, no one will be able to play it with all of the effects enabled, at least not if they favor kicking butt over graphical candy.

 

What about my gig?
How well can a 512 MB GeForce 7700 run it?

 

probably................not.....or yes

 

Rofl Ill use my desktop for games like Crysis (8800 GTX, 4 Gigs of RAM)
