Crysis performance

yepp you heard me... good news u can see the menu in the game and you can play it but;

bad news, everything on low, no need to mention that game is not that eye candy with these settings i mean 800x600 everything on low, no AA...

so here is the one million $ question?

how to overclock the card (best stabile overclock settings?), and exactly what settings in the game suits this card the most?

im running crysis demo on 169.01 beta drivers by the way...

 

What kind of performance is everyone getting on the Crysis SP Demo? I have an 8600m gt and the latest drivers. For some reason I am really laggy even on all low settings at 1024x640
Is something wrong here?

 

Did you try the newest crysis drivers from laptopvideo2go.com? I believe they are 169.01.

 

is anyone on a 8600GS able to play crysis? *curious*

 

yeah i have the 169.01 Vista 32bit

 

8600M GS on my f3sv-b1 runs smooth on 1200x800 low settings...and the game still looks great on low settings believe it or not lol.

 

the demo is due for release for another 7 hours

 

I'm actually very pleased with the performance of Crysis. While Ultra-High is out of reach for my system (in sig), that's to be expected since the Devs stated that they wanted Crysis to scale forward a year or two. In fact, I get very playable FPS with everything on high at 1680x1050, and that's all I could have asked for. It looks absolutely INCREDIBLE nonetheless, and the demo was extremely good.

 

Runs good on my XTX, medium at WSXGA+ with AA off (at this high of res you don't need AA imo). Not sure if I want to try high; maybe if I'll play it again with fraps installed.

I'm really not into trying to game on laptops sorry

 

I was playing on medium with great performance, without the newest drivers. I may go install them and retry.

 

t7300, 2gb, 8600m gt = crysis runs very good on medium with 1280x800 native with 169.01

 

i have the inspiron 1520 with 8600m gt and the newest drivers, and im still getting somewhat laggy performance at all medium, 1280x800

ive had to turn textures, shadows, and shaders to low, as well as reduce resolution to 1024x640 to get it to be smooth

 

Aye, running it on an external monitor at 1024x768 with everything at medium except shadows at low. Getting 25-30 FPS on average. Sometimes drops down to 15-20, especially during cutscenes. Don't even get me started on zooming in with the binoculars.

 

Did anyone else get that nasty slowdown in the beginning when the camera is behind the jumbo jet? I dont understand why there's a slowdown there when hardly anything is being rendered.

 

1280x800, using the 169.01 drivers
All settings medium (except Physics and Post-Processing on high)

Getting around 25-30 FPS. Absolutely gorgeous and runs fairly well (the motion blur helps hide the lowish framerate )

 

Same settings, same framerate, except I'm in windows XP and I overclocked my 7900 except in cutscenes it drops to 10-20 fps.
then there's that 5 second skip which is a whole different issue on it's own.

 

8600gt DDR2 Vostro 1500

I have it overclocked to 620/1600/520.

I am able to play on all high with shadows and post processing on low.

15 fps on gunfights
20 fps on average
25 fps when nothing is going on

Pretty good IMO.

And I also get a huge drop on the cutscene with the plane. I guess it takes a lot of GPU power to process that plane haha.

 

playing it at 1280 x 800 with medium settings. laggy a little bit but playable.

tried it at 1920. it does run, but very stop actiony. unplayable.

 

Am I the only one that thinks it's absurd how punishing this game is on modern hardware? Especially when I remember quotes from the developers saying it would be playable maxed out at 1920x1200 on an 8800GTX.

That isn't freaking happening.

I can get it to 1920x1200 MEDIUM, and it's fairly smooth, on my 8800GTS 640MB on my desktop. I read another quote where the developers said that if you had a "balanced system," the game would be more CPU bound, which is a load of crap. My quad is barely breaking a sweat on it.

And yes, the game is pretty, and it's got a good polish on it, but ultimately, playing it I didn't even actually find it that compelling. Part of what made Far Cry work for me was its simplicity, exactly what appears to have been jettisoned in Crysis.

 

If the games good but runs like ****, its ****

 

I hope Crysis will be using more cores by the time it's released. As it is right now my T7200 is only using one core and the other one is left idle.

 

Crysis was designed to be a screensaver or wallpaper not a game...

Just run it at max settings and watch the slide show! You guys didnt get the memo did you?

 

Yep, its a slide show power point presentation -- (Demo)

Final game will also be a slide show power point presentation but in the form of a comic book...it will include text and all the qualities comic books hold

 

I'm lost as to what people are complaining about performance wise. Coming from the beta, performance has shot through the roof for me, and more stuff is happening then in the beta.

1680x1050 All High, 8xq AA constant 40+FPS. On my desktop of course, E6600 3.2 and 8800GTS 640/2000


Of course perhaps everyone believes in the "if it's not 60FPS its not smooth" which I personally rarely find to be the case -_- Especially considering how much better the game looks then anything else, and how much more it's doing on it's own engine.


Maybe it's just my opinion, but I know it's not hype. I'm simply comparing the demo to the game itself, and to other games.

On my notebook T7300/8600mGT 1280x800 Mostly Med with some lows, no AA. Around 35+ FPS, considering that even on all low the game is pretty damn good looking. Whether the game itself is good or not comes down to pure opinion on a person by person basis.

 

Remember folks that beneath all the eye candy and hardware angst you are getting what you paid for = one of the latest of a long line of games classified as First-Person Shooters.

Ultimately the gameplay won't be too different from shooting lots of things on the screen (or environment) while everything around you is so gorgeous compared to old FPS games that you forget that after a period of time the game will be just another item in the collection.

 

Ouch, my 8600GT is struggling even when overclocked past 8700 GT speeds (660 core, 860 mem). Playing with most settings om medium, some high. It's definately not as smooth as I'd like (as in probably below 25fps most of the time, although I haven't installed Fraps yet), even at 1280x800 (which surprisingly looks good even on a 17" screen), but I guess it's playable. Setting 'shadows' to low helps, but this simply removes all shadows which is unacceptable (for me) because they look so nice.

 

Oh **** I didn't know there was a vid driver that was released with this.

Some people are getting huge 3dmark boosts, I read (@ LV2G)

 

I'm getting mostly between 12-19 fps with the same GPU, driver and settings. Granted it occasionally rises to 25, but by n large, it's stuck well under 20fps and frankly isn't playable. Oh well...

 

dont install fraps

open up the console by pressing ~

type in "r_displayinfo 1" without quotes and it will display the fps

type in "r_displayinfo 2" without quotes and it will remove the fps and the prelease demo sign.


And your performance doesn't seem right

 

Thanks. Here's the result on a 8600GT with the new Crysis driver overclocked to 660 core and 860 memory:



19 frames per second. Most settings medium, some high. Resolution 1280x800.

 

c'mon, anyone help me out?

 

I get a 6 fps boost when setting 'shader quality' form high to medium, making my avarage framerate 25fps. Unfortunately medium shader quality looks notably worse than high shader quality:

High shader quality:


Low shader quality:

 

Be patient. Overclock using Rivatuner, and follow this overclock guide. How much you can overclock, nobody can tell. It's different for everyone. You'll just have to try for yourself

 

Anyone with an 8400 GS tried the demo?

 

Can the OP post some screenshots of how Crysis looks on the 8400 GS?

 

Another observation: HDR is only available/turned on when you set Shader Quality to High.

 

Remember guys, this is a ***DEMO*** released one month prior to official game release. Probably based on beta code from several months back. I'm not saying it should run stellar on a notebook GPU, but if desktop 8800's are struggling, it definitely is not optimized. I'm sure with another video driver update and released final code or after a patch or two, it will gain a few FPS for everyone.

 

i dont game much but HL2 Ep2 and Crysis took my attention...
HL2 Ep 2 was very good with the system (mostly mid and with some low settings game looked pretty good but for the crysis there is just no way to get these settings with playable framerates...

we (8400 gs owners) better play this game with a high end desktop system...
as for the screenshots, here you go...

 

nVidia 8400 gs screenshots with no OC...

 

OK. I just downloaded demo and it runs on my laptop even though it does not meet minimum hardware requirements
Of course basic setup is all on LOW and 800x600 resolution. But it works, so I can play this game ! Hurray !!!

 

if someone would be so kind to give a rundown on what is most important for settings? (physics/post processing/etc)

for example, i noticed that turning physics on low doesnt make the plants move when you walk through them ;p

 

1. Shadows (settings them to low turns them off)
2. Shader Quality (setting it to medium or lower turns off HDR amongst other things)

 

HRD is what?

 

High Dynamic Range. It's just more "realistic" lighting.

 

I would call it 'much better looking' lighting

 

Ive got a Znote 6625WD
nvidia 8600m GT
2GB ram
160 sata 7200 HD
1.6 C2D

It runs like a dog on low and and 1024 x 768 res

 

Really? Mine runs around 20 fps on all medium at 1024 x 768.

 

hrmm this is not good.... i always said the day my 8800 struggles to play a game on medium to high settings at 1680x1050 , i'm going to cry

hopefully they optimize it a bit better for the actual release.

guess this is the point where i overclock my cpu and gpu.

 

I finally finished downloading the demo and it won't even install right on my Sager NP5791. I have Vista (which I think is the culprit because it installed fine on my desktop) and what happens is when I install the demo it seems to install fine but then it's simply non-existent on the hard drive. There are no folders on the entire drive about Electronic Arts, Crytek, you name it. Yet it shows up in the Remove programs window.

Reinstalling now . . . (taking ages)

 

"on my Sager NP5791" ??????

what tha hell ???

my clevo 570ru wont be able to play it ? my download is 98% finish...

Whats the best configuration for my 7950 gtx ?
