Will these specs play crysis on full settings?

Simple question. Thanks guys

* Intel Core 2 Extreme 2.8 GHz
* NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTX
* 4GB DDR2 667 MHz Ram

 

if your resolution is at like 1024x768 then you should be able to, even desktops have trouble maxing this game..your best setting for this game and your gpu are 1440x900 on high settings with shadows at medium.

 

No current setup will play crysis on full settings at full 1080p resolution as its made for future cards in DX10. Well.....maybe at a low res u could play it with all settings or a really poor framerate, to me framerate is more important. It will run crysis really well, just not full settings at a 1900x1200 res. Most Gaming desktops I doubt can even run it at full without some sacrifice like fps/resolution.

 

In high I think yes.

 

a 8400m gs will play crysis in full settings, question is, what is your target framerate? 2fps? 15fps? 40fps?

 

A friend runs it all v\high at 1024 res with a desktop 8800 gt so i think your laptop should manage it

 

thanks guys for all the help.

let me just say that i am not much of an expert when it comes to things like this so if i say something dumb please forgive me.

i guess my question then is, how close can i come to max settings with the highest frame rate possible?

 

DX9 mode, Medium/High at 1440x900? Sure, maybe a stutter here and there.

But you said full....DX10 Very High at 1920x1200 w/16x AA/AF? Dream on. Not even Quad-SLI 9800GX2s with Skulltrail dual C2QE QX9775s and 16GB of DDR3 can do that. Medium/High is the best you're going to get out of a laptop for a while.

 

As they mentioned earlier, probably the highest resolution you can go at highest settings (still excluding high AA) with a reasonable framerate is 1024x768.

 

Vostro Guy, the highest framerate are over 200fps, even a Quad 8800m GTX still wouldn't get you that.

 

are you going to get the notebook if someone here told you it would run flawlessly? it'll run Crysis fine, just don't expect something *magical*

 

thanks again guys.

also what is AA?

 

Anti-Aliasing, it reduces the jagged edges for rendered images.

 

Anti-aliasing

 

I'm on Vista 64-bit. I finished the game throughout at DX10 all very high at 1024x768 resolution, 64-bit executable, with Natural Mod and Triple C (CCC) pack installed. specs in my sig. Framerates weren't spectacular but completely playable!

 

think i can play War Rock with max settings? lol

 

Erm... Warrock isn't a very demanding game at all, plus the shaders and everything just make the game impossible to play anyways.

 

Hence why War Rock should be rated as one of the worst games in history.

 

just in case you couldn't tell. i was joking.

 

It always depend on your FPS tolerance. In AoC, I have textues on high, all sliders at 100% but shadow & grass OFF and bloom ON, just like I did with Oblivion.

 

Only Jesus-inside laptops can Play Crysis maxed out lol

 

Well DX10 all high you should be able to run it at 1440x900 at least where my SLI doesn´t do much work due to the low resoluion. I can if I run without SLI and only one GPU on my XPS M1730 at DX10 High, though with an overclocked GPU of course. Frames usually around 27-30+ fps depending on situation.

 

OCing 8800GTX is pointless, since its at its limits already... you could cause serious damage since the Card is already hot

 

With Dual 8800GTS 512mb, miles faster then an 8800mGTX, 1680x1050 high settings with PP and shadows on Medium gave me 60fps.

I'd say 1024x768 high-ish would be your ballgame....remember, getting 30fps initially at the outset of the game is not satisfactory - there are sections later on within the game that plunge to about 30% of those opening scenes, so you can imagine suddenly dropping to 10fps in some sections of the game would be a real atmosphere killer.

 

1400x1050 all high , natural mod and triple c pack avg 28-35 fps but it slows down to 20fps on the snow levels but by putting shaders to medium at that stage brings fps back to 35ish

 

8800m GTX is not so hot. See here my SLI 8800m GTX maxes out at 85 degrees for a sec then goes down to 82-83 degrees and that is with two GPU´s working together. Now if I would have the GPU fans run at max speed all the time I would be in the 76-80 range when playing Crysis for instance.

8800m GTX is a crazy overclocker. I have overclocked mine without any bios volt mod to 625/1550/950. That is a 150MHz Core overclock, 300MHz Shader overclock and a 150MHz mem overclock. So what about the heat? The same as non overclocked.

8800GTS 512 is not miles ahead of 8800m GTX. 8800GTS is still a 256 bit card though it has 128 shaders just like my 8800GTX desktop. But 96 SP´s versus 128 SP´s is not miles ahead in terms of performance. Only 32 SP´s difference, that is not like someone thinks it destroys a 8800m GTX.

8800m GTX 256-bit, 512MB Video Ram, 96 SP´s
8800 GTS 512 256-bit, 512MB Ram, 128 SP´s

It´s fun I have seen on another forum where there is mostly desktop users and when I post some Crysis benchmarks they don´t believe a 8800m GTX or better up 8800m GTX SLI can accomplish such benchmarks.

 

...except I specifically said I was running 8800GTS Sli, which IS miles faster...

And yes a single 8800GTS though is much faster....a single 8800GTS at stock with a 2.4Ghz processor will pull 11k, about 2k more then a stock 8800mgtx, and an 8800gts can be overclocked like crazy also - up to 13k 3dmark with the same 2.4ghz cpu. But of course you have to compare stock vs stock, you cannot compare your 8800mgtx favourably by saying it overclocks well, most cards do. And at stock, the desktop 8800gts 512mb pulls 2k more then stock 8800mgtx generally.

 

a) how did u overclock
b) wow , and is there a visible performance increase in games
thank you ( soo off topic tho)

 

they say that once you play crysis on full setting, you become a god

 

I put everything on high at 1440 x 900 with an 8800GTX, 2.5ghz, & 2gb of Ram & it runs around 25fps with occasional fps drop when big explosions up close.

4gb of Ram really isn't gonna make a difference over 2gb not unless the upgrade is worth maybe a few fps at best.

 

actually it wont make a big difference 4gb VS 2gb, itll make no Difference, and @ Mangus, your Card is an Wqual to a "640mb" 8800GTS not the G92 8800GTS

 

Yes I know it is equal to a 640MB 8800GTS. However saying that the 8800GTS 512 is miles ahead is just plain wrong when it isn´t. 2K more in 3D Mark 06 more isn´t miles ahead. Come back when you say 5K more in 3D Mark 06 then I could agree somewhat with miles ahead. And the 8800GTS 512 is higher clocked stock than the 8800m GTX, maybe downclock the 8800GTS instead and compare performance, that is 32 sp´s more than the 8800m GTX but at exact same clocks. Or overclock the 8800m GTX to 8800GTS 512 MB speeds would work too


Funny thing is the 8800m GTX competes with the desktops out there and especially the SLI variant I do own a desktop too, but this SLI laptop is just plain amazing considering the small form factor compared to a desktop and be able to overclock lots with just a 230W PSU is pretty amazing since any desktop 8800GTS 512 and especially SLI demands much more power.

Overclock the 8800m GTX? Easy, Ntune I would say, or if you want flash the card using nvflash.

 

thanks magnus , i will give ntune a go, , dont have the confidence levels to flash my machine

 

what setting would i need to have in order to get 35-40 FPS in Crysis with my specs:

2.33 Dual Core
2GB RAM
8800m GTX
120GB HD

 

LOL!!!!!!!
