Crysis Settings Thread

Please if you would like... Not demanding here...

Specify your laptop and video card and what setting you run the game at...

Drivers also....

Also anything else that has to do with playing the game..

I run crysis at 1280 x 1024 on high..

I have two 8700 GT's in SLI overclocked.


Thanks,

Joe

 

1920x1080 with everything on high except for shaders and shadows. (Which are on medium) Running 169.21 atm, I've already beaten the game on Delta and I was using the 169.09 drivers then.

D901C 2.93Ghz Core2Duo, 2GB ram, 2x7950GTX's.

 

i thought the game did not support SLI?

 

It supports SLI, just not optimized for SLI. The newer drivers since .17 up have some new coding in them which help. There is supposed to be a Crysis patch soon that will help fix some multi core fixes and SLI support.

Edit: 169.09 was the patch that helped fix SLI support for Crysis. So from 169.09 up.

 

how do think the game will run on my system, considering it has 'half' the power of yours (1 7950GTX)

 

Crysis bites...plain and simple, but that's besides the point. You should be able to play it with a lot of the eye candy (High) at lower resolutions. I.e. 1280x1024 etc. But the game itself and it's AI is very bad IMO. It seems challenging at 1st then you learn to use your cloak effectively and find out how crappy the AI is. This game had a lot of potential but it didn't live up to it's hype. Then again, how many games do?

 

shouldn't i play at a widescreen resolution like 1280x800, so that should give me some more FPS than at 1280x1024? also, are there any other widescreen res. below 1280x800? ya know, besides 640x400

also, i heard the putting post processing to high really kills the FPS but the motion blur makes it seem a lot smoother, what do you think about that?

are there any other Sager 5791 users out there to comment?

 

I can run it @ 1680x1050 medium shaders shadows and all other settings to HIGH and get 30fps average on my oc'd 7900gtx to 650/750 @1.32v vid7

I'm sure you could do better.

 

i have a similar system cept for t7600.

there is crysis @ the settings I said.

Frisco, since you only have one try using 1024x768 or 1024x640 with all settings on high (shadows med) and see how that runs.
Crysis looks surprisingly good even at 1024x res. Hell I run it at 1024x with tweaked very high settings and it looks great.

 

Hi Wu, can you please clarify this for me? In the other thread you wrote:

"The issue is that at higher resolutions Crysis is not working with SLI. If you play at lower resolutions you will not notice it."

But then here on this thread you state that you get 1900x1050 (pretty high res for me) most of it on high. Is this with SLi? If it is not I don't believe it

My experiments with Crysis have been frustrating to say the least. So much that I decided not to buy the game neither play it until the first patch is out. Tired of chasing for drivers.

Trance

 

DFTrance, try downloading the laptopvideo2go 169.21 drivers..
With Crysis it works nicely in the higher resolution...

I am sure WU has SLI.

the thing is that won't 1024x769 look all stretched out because it is not 'widescreen'

oh i didn't see that you also wrote 1024x640, i will try that.

 

On my sager 5791, with T7500, 2 gigs of RAM and 1 7950GTX I ran the game at 1024x768 and all medium,except for sound and details,set to high.
However,in the alien ship stage and snowy level , I had to go to some lows
NO OC.

 

Right I'll try to find the links to the tests that were run but at higher resolutions SLI is not working correctly with Crysis. I.e. with one 7950GTX scores were equal to a SLI 7950GTX setup.

I'm running the game at 1920x1080 (for my home TV) and I average around 20+ FPS with everything on high except for shaders and shadows. (That is with no OCing. (With OCing I can keep it above 25+ FPS)

So long as I feel the game is playable then whether or not it's actually using SLI doesn't matter to me so long as I can play it.

What is confusing?

Edit: I should be more clear. At higher resolutions your only going from 14 fps to 17 fps. Not a huge increase. That is why it's been said that SLI on crysis needs patching. A 15% gain for having another video card is crappy in my book.

Tripple Dog Edit: I think that post your thinking about was also before the new slew of driver releases. They have helped the Crysis performance quite a bit. There is going to be a patch, sometime around Christmas, if you believe the rumors. That will help with SLI performance and MultiCore CPU's.

 

So basically you are running Crysis with "everything" on high at 1900x1050 mostly with the power of one Go 7950 GTX and no tweeks. That is awesome!!

No way I can do that with a 8700M GT at that res and in Vista x64. Just the first scene (the carrier flying through the sky before we jump of the plane) the plane just drags its self at 1200x1024. After we land things get smother but still looks like we are playing a game of 2005, and that is with everything on medium (drivers 169.09). With overcloking things don't improve much either in terms of resolution.

I believe you Wu, but its nevertheless strange that people with a 8800GTS (desktop card) are getting worst results then what is presented. This makes me think that actually the game is not that much optimized for the 8000* cards.

that's basically the same as what I'm running. cept I am oc'd and volt modded.
hence why I can get 27-30fps at a good oc/ sine 7900gtx is almost the same as 7950 cept for 1.24v vs 1.32v thus my voltmod.

1900x1200 medium shaders/shadows all other settings to HIGH. 2nd level outside after you find the frozen ship (recovery)

Shooting first troops down the road. OC is less this time 600/700 close to stock 575/700

oh. i am using 169.04 drivers cuz i like powermizer and it doesn't seem to work in the newer ones.

I oc by Flashing and don't use ATI-tool but to monitor my temps.

 

1600x1050 Medium shaders Medium shadows all other settings to HIGH.
This is the resolution I usually play my game @ because I get the best framerates this is my native OC of my card with 1.32v vid 7 voltmod and 650/750 clocks.

i have been told many times by many people that my card probably won't survive because it gets like 95 degrees. even though the cut-off is 102 degrees. I do have a spare 7900gtx.

I had to buy a 150w PSU for my m1710 to accomidate my CARD with voltmod etc. and sometimes My PSU shuts off because it doesn't have enough power.

I also have pretty much 2 of everything except the mobo (it is a e1705 - my spare) . so from what I am doing I expect things to break eventually.

I am just posting this information for information. that's all. I think it's pretty cool what I have got out of what I got. even though I would like to have a beast that does it natively and won't need fan replacement every 2 months and as5 every 2 months also.

 

i played the demo at 1024x640 with a stock 7950GTX and my average frames are only 30FPS! that is with medium shaders and shadows everything else high. how do you get those insane FPS dexgo?
i can't overclock my 7950GTX with the 94.22 drivers, which I need because they are the only ones that play CoD4 correctly.

 

I can't get them stock either.

I have a t7600 processor and 3gb ram 169.04 drivers and 100gb 7200rpm hdd same as you.

similar machines for sure.

I OC with Nibitor.

I dump the rom from the card in windows and use a bootable flash drive to boot to win98 dos and then have nvflash on it.

you can overvolt with the vids there and mess with stuff as well.

you can change how the card reacts to deltas and alot of stuff bud.

I would just Install the 169.04 drivers I think you can OC with ati-tool.

I OC with Flashing myself bud.

 

I am trying the new 169.21 drivers. then I will post the fraps benchmarks here with the results.

I hopefully will get the universal 180w PSU i ordered last week.

Then when I can Hard Clock my card some more.

Frames: 1350 - Time: 42454ms - Avg: 31.799 - Min: 21 - Max: 44

there is 1600x1050 same settings as I always run.

169.21 drivers

looks worse than 169.04 and my powermizer aint workin.

 

The game itself is very wierd for hardware. I'll try to do a fraps 30 second clip and post it later. I'm using Rivatuner to OC and I haven't touched my Vcard Bios. It's playable at 1920x1080, and everything is on high except shaders and shadows, which are on medium.

Shaders and shadows kill the game. Try moving them down and your resolution up. That should help. I don't like to go below medium on shadows though because the game just doesn't look right.

Edit: Trance here was one comparison about the SLI problems, again this was before the 169.09 drivers which fixed some SLI issues. Here.

 

i found a drop in framerate going from the 169.04 to the 169.21.

i just reverted back.
