P-6831 FX and Crysis

Hey everyone, I just had a simple question to those that have the above mentioned. I'm wondering what kind of settings you guys were using as I'm unsure of a comfortable set. All high? Medium? or custom settings?

 

I used all High and that worked fine for me the only other thing is I turned the AA settings off.

 

I can do all high at 1024x768 in DX10, and high @ 1280x800 in DX9, pretty smooth for the most part.

 

Hmmm for the lower res do you guys use scaling by any chance?

 

All high and turn off the unneeded and video card resource hogging AA.

 

All high, no AA, no problems at all. Haven't tried Very High nor tweaks yet.

 

I use all medium AA at 4 or 2, but haven't play much yet. I simply cannot play without AA. Also i set it at native resolution 1440x900

 

I run it at 1024x768 all high (shadow medium), and I only have avg 25 FPS...is that good?
How much +FPS would mean if I would change the default 1,6Ghz CPU to a 2,4Ghz T7400?

 

WoW, looking at some of your post i think im doing somthing wrong.

I have everything on low in DX9 and i only get avrage 25 fps.

maybe its just the processer and i could try bummping up the setting and still get the same frames.

 

You wouldn't get much of an improvement at all DRevan.

Crysis is quite frankly the most grueling game I've ever seen released in terms of demand on a graphics card (both in terms of the most demanding out and for it's time I've never seen anything that brought the high end cards down thier knees as much as this game).

The low frame rates are your video card not putting out, your CPU is slow, but it's not the limiting factor, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't get more than 5% even if you were using a X7800 CPU, it's just GPU limited.

3 geforce 8800Ultras in SLi on a desktop cannot run this game at high settings and AA/AF at high resolutions like 1920x1200 and get fluent frame rates.

I'd be curious to know the FPS you all are getting with the settings. (you can download a program called FRAPS).

AA really hits hard in crysis, so expect no AA. I'd be curious to know what frame rates you get with medium settings the native 1440x900 res (using FRAPS)

 

It just hit me how great it is to play this benchmark of a game on such a budget laptop. Hurray for the Cow colored cube!

 

I would let you guys know the FR, but do i have to use FRAPS, there's no comand on the game to see teh FPS?

 

Enter Crysis console by pressing ` (next to top number key 1)
enter r_displayinfo 1

That should show you more infomation about drivers and FPS.
