    Here is a taste of the Russian beta of Warface, free fps developed by crytek.
    This is a fre game developed on CryEngine3 same as Crysis 2, but it is much more optimized and therefore scalable onto almost any computer configuration. There is a link in the video description on how to get into the Beta if you are not in Russia. Enjoy !

    hey guys new vid will be posted tonight...

    So far its running ok , although i get massive lag due to all servers being in russia. I do experience small microstutters where i run on average around 70 - 80 fps but periodically it drops to 40. Not sure why. Anyway gameplay is fun, looks very promising (as long as they keep supporting it after release)...

    Try overclocking your CPU and gpu, should be easy and could help a bit.
    Also are your drivers up to date?

    its not my gpu (i already have it oced) think it might be cpu or it might be some coding from the game that isnt working. Will being in US on a Russian server cause this kind of fps drop? I would think it would just be lagg. cause im not even getting 30 fps on 1280x800 lowest settings where I would get around 40+fps 1600x1050 high settings on BF3. I jsut dont think a f2p game will be more demanding than bf3 =.=

    i believe i got the latest drivers for my gpu :eek: there arent drivers for cpu right...? and my cpu is locked in the bios so i cant oc it :(

    That is really strange I get 60+ frames on high at 800p. The one thing that eats most performance is shadows so I turned them to medium. Also when I first ran the beta I experienced random fps drops but it seemed to get better. Also maybe the drivers you are using are just not good wih warface but that's a long shot.

    yeah usually i get good gaming performance from my desktop. my gpu isnt going to max out anything but idk why but warface is just stuttering on mine. like min is like 14 but cycling b/w 15-25 near the high teens

    There should be software you can use to overclock your CPU. Do you don't need settings in the bios.

    I cant remember the name of the software now but you may have luck with google.

    How does your pc run crysis 2? That would be a good indicator if the problem is the game itself or your hardware. Keep in mind crysis 2 is much more intensive on yur system then warface. So if crysis 2 is running better than warface you can be pretty sure it's probably the game itself not supporting your hardware fully.

    ill dl it tonight but idk when ill get around to installing it... ill keep u guys updated

    ---------------
    installed crysis 2 and tried it. i played with all settings on high, vsync off, 1050p, dx11, high textures/tessalations mod/patch and i got around 23-35 fps depending on location intense scenes (just started lol seems like a fun game will continue playing). Maybe im playing with noobie low settings but it is much more playable than warface is right now so Im assuming that its the game not the hardware
    -------------
    is there a patch for warface? what should I do?

    Ok so it must be warface related I would either wait because they keep on patching the game since it is in beta or you can try experiment with different drivers for your GPU ;)

    Is there a way to make the in-game in English? Or some date that's scheduled for it to beta in the US? I played it for like 30 minutes when I had some spare time, but haven't gotten back to it since I didn't really feel like spending any time with the Russian. I'm always too tired from work to do any gaming other than opening up something familiar. XD
