Crysis 3 - Discussion Thread

You can take screenshots with MSI Afterburner.

 

doh! now why didnt i know that. ive never looked at the settings tab before. thanks.

 

*ATTENTION ALL NVIDIA USERS*

314.07 DRIVERS ARE UTTER RUBBISH!

I tested 310.90 and guess what? I was getting the same FPS at high settings as I was at lowest settings on 314.07. At lowest 310.90 gave me about 10fps extra. I highly recommend reverting to those drivers.

65% improvement in Crysis 3 my a r s e. More like 65% decrease! Just have to wait until NVIDIA get their act together...

 

high is playable with 4x fps. very high around 2x-3x, mostly 2x. already oc to 1040/1560. with 3610qm

 

They claim up to 65% for sli confiq.And 5% for one card.....
This is a shame.....

 

guys im running the game with 13.2 beta 6 drivers but fps are very bad.i overclocked 1000 core 1500 memory and the fps are from 20 to 35.im running the game all very high including textures and have AA disabled!is something wrong?

 

well that didnt work. it took a screenshot of game like fraps does and not of desktop with msi/core temps etc.

thanks for that info Cakefish. im running okish but i might try reverting back.

 

They work fine for me, the 65% improvement was for SLI anyway, not single cards. It should still perform better than 314.07.

 

yep 310.90 works much better here, but its still not perfect, is game running hotter than other games for any of you? like 8-10 degrees hotter.

 

cpu yes. got 2 cores on 96c but gpu 680 is fine at 72c

 

hmm interesting, now I am running with 2xSMAA 8xAnisotropic LOW MotionBlur and rest is VERY HIGH with +30fps (in most environments, sometimes dips to 20s). disable v-sync if it is on (as previously mentioned, for some reason v-sync does something bad in the game), btw I am at stock.

 

which drivers u use?maybe my cpu bottleneck game?btw im at the first stage with the rain and fps are very low.even 16-17 in some places,

 

Turn off V-Sync and apply through control panel if you're NVIDIA user - seems to help as well.

Still poor performance compared to beta though

Hoping for patch or new driver (preferably both) this coming week.

 

13.2 beta6 drivers, did you disable v-sync? it really helps 5-10fps. Also I am getting 25ish fps at that rain too, that rain is crazy

 

i disable yes.also d3doverrider doesnt seem to work.

yeah beta was running way better.

 

Well the online part of the game runs fine for me. has anyone tried lowest settings? I mean it looks the same right.

 

Yes. It still runs hell of a lot more laggy than the beta

 

I was not able to enjoy the game on GTX 680M stock clocks. I OC'ed it +135 core and +225 memory. max temp reached 90 C last night I am playing on high settings. Very high is just downright unplayable for me with fps lows of 17.
first 2 chapters has horrible performance. It got a lot better on 3rd and 4th. now i am getting between 40-70 fps, but the game is melting my GPU. it got so hot last night, i had to open my bedroom window in this cold Minnesota weather

Coming to game-play department, AI is so pathetic. CELL agents are fricking suicide bombers! In the first 4 chapters, I saw at-least 30-40 CELL agents die by their own grenades...lol
I got stuck in walls a couple of times. they made the game so easy with the compound bow. stealth + compound bow = easy win.

the game is still enjoyable. it looks gorgeous, even on the lowest settings. Crytek should give more advanced graphic options like tessalation, DOF, SSAO. there is no option to turn these ON/OFF now.

Overall, i give it 80/100.

If you're interested in additional graphics options, here is a link to console/config commands that give you a little more options than are in the menu. Crysis 3 console commands and config settings allow MAXIMUM TWEAKING | News | PC Gamer

 

umkc, I'm running stock clocks with everything set to low, and FXAA, frames are always around 80 and temp never exeeds 78°

Try low settings, I know what you are thinking, I didnt buy a 680 to play on low, but honestly I dont see much of a difference, not something that would warrant a 45 frame loss.... Oh and make sure you are on 310.190 drivers

 

yea i tried very high then low..dont see a diff

 

lol yeah, we've heard that from you before... about pretty much every game that comes out.

 

I don't know if it is me or my eyes but I think there is a lot of difference between low and very high..

about the AI, I just had the situation where I hunted one of the ceph while invis with the bow, about 10 of them gathered into one little corner to hide, one explosive arrow there and booooooom

 

yeah the AI is pretty... not good? I could literallly run past 5 onrushing cell while cloaked..

There is of course a difference between very high and low, but can anyone run very high? maybe a SLI 690 setup could

 

I'm running very high with 2xMSAA and vsync. Pretty much constant 60 fps with dips down to 45 fps or so every now and then. Runs really well with the new WHQL.

 

Its the 65% sli up......
Can you rent me your second 680m??

 

lol sure, but what would you do with it? You already have your new Clevo 680m

Are you enjoying it so far?

 

EA, I should have known. Hit detection worse than BF3. Point blank 3 shotgun shots to head 0% damage... gah.

 

LOL
Yea of course i enjoying it but the crysis3 is disapointing me
I hope nvidia release some new drivers for single set up.....
Nice fps you have mate
Even my brothers desktop(gtx670oced)has on very high 35-45fps

 

Thanks man, 680m sli slots in a little above a desktop 680; I was honestly hoping to be able to crank the settings up further lol. With 4xMSAA framerates drop to 35-50 fps, so I keep the aa pretty low.

I'm sure Nvidia will improve the drivers soon. The 680m handles Crysis 2 better than the 7970m, so I think it has the potential to be the same for Crysis 3

 

guys i just dropped shading to high from very high and objects the same and now my fps are smooth varied from 34 to 45-50 stock clocks!!these settings i think are most tax one.

 

Nice fps buddy you have for stock

 

how many fps u have kolias with 680m?

 

Very low fps....betw 20-40 on very high.....
I expecting nvidia will release some fresh drivers for crysis3.
We will see.....

 

I think it's your aim, Wingnut

 

try this i wrote above and fps ll rise way up!game is unoptimized!!read here.

MaLDoHD for Crysis 2: Performance bug in Crysis 3 first level

 

crosslimit, i know what you mean...i cant play on low ..i will try playing on medium settings... at-least its a middle ground. the reason i want to do this is because i am hurting my GPU on high. 80-90 C is really bad...i think.

why are you using 310.190? did u try the latest drivers? they were released specifically for crysis 3.

 

play Crysis 3 .....save on heating bills this winter

 

Are those FPS single player or multiplayer? I'm getting average 40-42 FPS in multiplayer.

 

Ok,

I am getting 45~60 fps on a single gpu. Have the latest AMD drivers. Graphics options very high with smaax1. Am running on a 6990m and max temp is 90C for GPU and CPU around 74C max.
The game is quite buggy but generally ok had a few random crashes ( the opening 1st level is really bad Crytek have done something bad in the programming fps drops to 18 ~22 fps in some scenes I am not sure what it is cause after 1st mission it works better) I dunno the opening scene was a bit stupid and I am now more comfortable after the 1st mission into the 2nd mission with the grass area feels more familiar and plays smoother better too. The game feels like Crysis 2 from mission 2 and it feels ok for the new weapons - the bow and arrow and the pulse gun but i dunno it feels like crysis 2 all over again.

The graphics are nicenpretty but I still think MaldoHD on Crysis 2 still beats this and is better optimized and programmed much better.
This Crysis 3 feels buggy especially the 1st level.

 

Yes just read this and it is spot on what Maldo says..
+1
Crytek are idiots..

 

The game definitely needs some work on cleaning up some of these issues. Crysis 2 had its own issues (10,000 polygon jersey barriers). I'm sure we'll see a patch to fix the problems.

 

This game is starting to remind me of this:
Crysis 2 tessellation: too much of a good thing? - The Tech Report - Page 1

I sure hope they didn't do this shiat again..

 

Crysis 3 Min vs. Max Settings | N4G

play on low and quit complaining. I get 63fps 1080p low with a old 6990m

do you guys even know what graphics is? DETAILS

you don't lose DETAILS setting it to low

 

First of all the 6990M is not that old. Second of all, not everyone wants to just set everything to low. Just because you want to do something doesn't mean you can tell everyone to shut up and do it.

 

uh lolz ok bud. called reasoning

 

Uh lolz ok bud. called "just because you don't see a difference doesn't mean you get to dictate everyone else's experience."

 

Yeah this is crazy... what is crytek thinking??
Something is totally amiss with this game in the settings.

I would like to see the config file and see what they have done with low V very high system spec and advanced graphics options. It was the same with crysis 2 until someone came up with a nice little utility to change all the settings. It seems the same is happening here in Crysis 3 however, I am running at 60 fps and it looks beautiful.

Yeah that is the irony the system spec can be low yet the graphics is very high and it runs amazingly great and looks unbelievable all at 60 fps...who needs to upgrade?

 

Cool story bro. I play maxed out with higher framerates. Very high looks better than low. It's called reasoning.

 

hahaha

I have only played it for about 3hrs and I am up to red star rising mission 6 out of 8.

This is a joke is it not?
