Crysis 3 on NP9370

Sorry for that, I edited! ^^

----------

Now, with SLi is even better, super smoothly, I can't believe \o/

NP9370 The Killer Machine!!!!

 

Or get a phone that can browse the main forum properly

 

Finished the game, as usual with Crysis:

- The game that differentiates the medium PC Gamer from Killer Machine, either by lack of PC performance and/or Game performance
- Little boring in some parts
- Story too short
- Too many cutscenes
...

I just played to see if my PC can run it - hahaha!!

 

Yeah Crysis 3 was way too short - expected a longer campaign. Some levels were fun though and the bow was really cool.
I ran the game at 1080p, SMAA2Tx, Very High Texture Resolution, All other settings high with motion blur off.
Average FPS (dependant on level) ranged from 40 to 60FPS. With intense action, FPS never dropped below 30.
Run on 7970m @ 870/1440 Catalyst 13.2 beta 7 - Crysis 3 v1.1

 

cmon, already OCed the dualcore by 23%, that SHOULD be enough!

Never enough! You need one of them newfangled quad core 2.5GHz phones to browse a text website.
This website needs twitch's Kappa face for posts like this T-T.

 

*huggles galaxy note 2 with quad core goodness* does full desktop youtube 720p with no dropped frames.

 

*rolls eyes* why did i TOTALLY expect such a thing from u meaker?

but back to topic! whose phone is able to play crysis 3 maxxed out?

Brb grabbing time machine and like $3000

 

Mine can! (at a resolution of 4x4)

I've managed to get 993mhz temp stable now so am running a little faster.

 

993mhz crashes on me after like 2 mins. Not that I need it though 980 is just fine. Just wondering are you on stock voltage meaker?

Are you all really talking about how to OC phones and run Crysis 3 on a phone on a thread for the P370EM O_O

 

lol

meaker came back to topic talking about his stable oc on the 680m core at least im hoping so?

yeah we are back on topic, besides crysis dont work on a phone

 

well, considering the modern phones have roughly the performance of the current consoles - why couldn't we have crysis on our phones - after all the original was released for xbox and ps3 in 2007

 

well lets see...installing ubuntu linux on phones has already been proven possible, so now wed just need to install a crysis 1 linux port, if there is one? and then bench bench bench!

Steam is coming to Linux right? xD
Make it happen

I like how seamlessly that back to topic change was

 

love this crysis on phones offtopic, cracks me up completely xD

Every core is different but I was at stock voltage yes.

 

What overclock do people run for gaming? I just want some examples so I know what ballpark to aim for. I am currently sitting at 950/2000 and after 3 hours I was sitting around 72C. But that was with playing Rift, not sure exactly how taxing it is. So (I realize this is a crysis thread) but is there a recommendation on which game I should use for heavy load testing? I tried Unigine Heaven 4.0 and I couldn't make it through the benchmark without hitting 90+ temperatures (on Ultra, Fullscreen, 1080p) at stock speeds. I was curious as to if that's normal? I have only ran this sort of synthetic benchmark on a desktop before.

Playing a game like World of Tanks, Rift, or CoD: Black Ops 2 I never saw more than 60C for hours at a time with stock speeds.

 

I generally over clock to 915/1900 and never break 80 degrees except crysis 3. Some games i even go up too 980/2000 depending on temps. Keep in mind i need the extra fps to drive my 1440p monitor

I don't think 90+ on benchmarks is good generally I get much less heat than actual gaming. What temps do you get on crysis with 950/2000?

 

I haven't picked up Crysis yet. On other benches my temps didn't go that high ...but Heaven puts my "main" gpu at 100% load pretty steadily. Any chance you could try Heaven 4.0 and see what you get? I can pick up Crysis as well.

 

I'll see what i can do when i get home today

Different games provide different heat. Borderlands 1 makes my card hotter than 2 does, and MW2 makes my card hotter than BO1, MW3 and BO2 for example. Crysis 3 could use as much of your card as it wants, but it doesn't determine how hot your cards will get while playing it. You'll just have to wait and see =D

 

yeah all games tax the system differently, crysis is an absolute killer though.

Anyway run Heaven and max temp I got was 84° I'm happy with that. I use gelid extreme paste and did the foil mod.

 

Nice. Thanks for doing that. How extensive is your overclock? Also, I have never reapplied paste to a laptop. Is there a good guide or reference for me to follow to do this? I had Xotic put IC7 on there, but I am starting to wonder if there is possibly bad pasting on the main card.

Also, I keep seeing people mention the foil mod. Can you explain this to me? It sounds like something I would want to do.

 

theres some pics concerning the foil mod in the 2960xm thread linked to in my sig basically, u just apply adhesive aluminum foil to connect the fan casing with the heatsink fins in order for them to form a duct which is able to direct the airflow out of the machine much more efficiently. u can expect about 5C lower max temps, if not more

Well that is actually kind of my point; a game could make your machine hot as hell without even using 80% of your card, whereas another game could use 95-99% constantly and be 15 degrees less? I don't know what affects the temperature though. I really wish I did.

What I DON'T know is if Crysis 3 is a fireball-maker or a bread-warmer. I can safely say that Crysis 2 (the DX9 version) was more of a bread-warmer.

 

I have a lot of experience building desktops, but the laptop modification and work is a bit new to me. I have worked on them but never anything up to snuff with the likes of a Sager.

How tedious and different from a desktop is reapplication of thermal compound on GPU and CPU? How much IC7 is recommended for each?


Thanks for the help!

 

like I said i use a 915/1900 overclock constantly. reapplying thermal paste is really easy, I had my concerns at first too. there are lots af applying methods. for the gpu i put a tiny dot in the center and then put the heatsink on. for the cpu I spreaded it manually with a tool gelid provides. IC7 is fine I think, some people dont like it. personally I dont know, never used it. Its definitely among the higher-end pastes

About crysis 3 temps. Any kind of overclock above 800 on the core causes 89-91 degrees for me thats why I put all settings to low and run it on stock clocks. 78 degrees. Im just not comfortable with ~90°

crysis 2 dx9 with maldohd4 used to run at around 80 degrees for me

 

Thanks, this helps get me going in the right direction. I toyed around enough to notice that I could get stable at pretty high temps but much like yourself, the temperatures made me uncomfortable.

I appreciate your help!

 

yeah 915 seems to be the sweet spot for me

 

what kinda vram clocks did u set when u reached 90C as opposed to lower temps? could very well be that the vram is causing the core to heat up. oced vram generates insane amounts of heat and would thus directly influence the gpu core's temp as well. temp differences in games could thus be explained by the amount of textures being saved in the vram rather than the utilization of the gpu core. u guys could maybe compare the temp of ur core at oced vram vs. stock vram in the same game, that could clarify things (no idea if my theory is right, would like to see the results myself )
