Crysis low fps

[goldrush8]

alright, i dont know if this is the right place to put this but, i am having an issue with crysis 1 (2007), my average FPS is only about 36 FPS most setting on low and resolution 1024x768 AA off

I currently have;
AMD phenom II x4 3.2 Ghz
Biostar A7700E3
G-Skill ripjaws 8Gb (4Gb x2) ddr3
Nvidia geforce 9400 GT ddr2

now i think my issue may be somewhere in the OS, im running Windows 7 64bit and it may be some compatibility issue but im really not sure

I am also running it in DX9 which is getting me a few extra FPS, roughly 10 or so but thats when i get the 36 fps

If anybody can help me to resolve this i would be so grateful

 

[akhtar88]

Man ur gpu is way too low for these kind of games, please change it,

Your main problem in this case is not the OS, but your graphic card.

 

[Gman450]

Agreed with the other members.
Your GPU needs some real time upgrading. The rest of the specs are up to mark.

We can suggest you a good one too, if you're willing to change it.

 

[goldrush8]

Alright, was afraid of that. My friend is sending me an ati with 1gb ddr5 soon enough. I can't remember exact model name though when I find it I'll post it and so you guys can check out if it'll get me what I'm looking for which is as close to max settings as I can get.

Oh and thank you guys for taking time to help me

 

[Eldd]

Anytime

 

[Gman450]

You are welcome.

 

[goldrush8]

alright so i found out which card it is, its the same one eldd has, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB DDR 5 im not sure if its the HIS or who makes the cooler but its the ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB DDR 5. with all my other stuff will this new graphics card be able to get me at least to a 1600x900 with high settings? keep in mind im getting this for free so this is always replaceable if need be.

 

[trogdor796]

I would say that it should be able to do high settings at that resolution. I remember playing crysis with my old comoponents, e6600 core 2 duo @3ghz and a 4870 and being able to run it on high with 2xaa and get 40fps. This was at 1680x1050.

One thing that you want to make sure of though is that your power supply can handle the new card, since it will require a lot more watts of power than your 9400gt.

That's bullshit. I played crysis on my 8800gts just fine back in the day. It didn't run on maximum settings but It had a decent framerate on the Gamer settings.

 

[goldrush8]

yea, my PSU is fine. its a brand new Apevia 750W warlock, it has the cable to plug my PSU into the card also.

RaptorHunter, you got any idea what would be causing this to be running so poorly on my rig? i mean, i still think there maybe and underlying cause somewhere else in my system, i mean other people have had older systems and ran it better and things like that are turning up a lot, for now until i get the new card any ideas or if people know of any issue with compatibility due to age difference would be great

With my setup I played on high settings, at 1920x1080, and FPS was well above 40, the card offers good performance even if not top of the line these days.

All due respect, I don't think Raptor is up to speed here. The 8800gts is seriously more powerful than a 9400gt, so don't listen to him. Just because the 9400 starts with a higher number, doesn't mean it's more powerful. Goldrush, your "underlying cause" here IS the GPU. The 9400 was meant for light gaming in lower resolutions, at best. And while it could run some games with a decent framerate, Crysis 1 is especially well equipped to bring it -and more powerful cards- to its knees, even today, four years after release.

 

[Izaran]

GT's are low end 'economy' GPUs...never buy them for gaming. Just getting Oblivion to run on my 8500GT isn't an easy task...I should have gotten and 8800.

But when I saw this my brain went "Wow, another Crysis poor FPS...duh." lol

 

[FlintIronStagg]

the 5770 should run it fine on high settings, its a decent performer for ita price range

 

[Gman450]

HD 5770 will do good at that resolutions.
We don't have much of an idea about well the game might run, but I'm sure it'll run well.

OP's got a 9400GT. 8800GTS is much faster than a 9400GT, no matter what VRAM it might have.
In case if you were thinking, the 8800GTS does almost the same performance with that of a 9800GT.

 

[goldrush8]

Alight guys, I should be getting my new card soon enough, the 9400 was also a free card that my bro had given me so it was only meant to be a temp card anyway. When I get that new card I'll post up my frame rare and new settings it's running at.

Biggest reason I was kinda irritated with my card was I used to have an nvidia 8200 integrated and it ran it pretty much the same way at same settings so I was wondering if it could have been something else as well but with what all you guys have told me I know this card just wasn't cut out for anything in the region of crysis.

 

[Gman450]

Which newer card are you going for anyways ?

 

[FlintIronStagg]

alright so i found out which card it is, its the same one eldd has, the ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB DDR 5 im not sure if its the HIS or who makes the cooler but its the ATI Radeon HD 5770 1GB DDR 5. with all my other stuff will this new graphics card be able to get me at least to a 1600x900 with high settings? keep in mind im getting this for free so this is always replaceable if need be.

^^ its a 5770

 

[FlintIronStagg]

grats on the upgrade, now your going to be hooked!

 

[Gman450]

Oh, thanks for that.
You'll do good.

 

[goldrush8]

Alright guys, my friend has now told me he wont be giving me that card. I need a recommendation on a graphics card now, should i just buy a new 5770, its only $130 on newegg or any other suggestions you guys can give me would be excellent, im looking for an ati/amd card though because my whole system besides gpu is amd so ill be getting software enhancements offered from amd/ati.

 

[FlintIronStagg]

software enhancements?
I run an nvidia card with an amd CPU and everything eworks just fine. There isnt any advantage to running amd/ati yet, and im pretty sure it wont be backwards compatible with older tech.

 

[goldrush8]

Ill try and find that software but, an amd processor and amd/ati radeon graphics card together are made to run smoother than an intel cpu and amd gpu or amd cpu and nvidia gpu (and so on). Ive seen some results and it does seem to offer some sort of performance boost. i may also have been mislead of course, but either way i am leaning towards an amd/ati card anyway.

Ive been looking and im looking at either the ati 5770, amd 6790, or the amd 6850. if you would like to vouch for any of them and help me choose or make any suggestions of there own please do.

 

[Gman450]

At 1600X900, the HD 6790 should do well. But if you can expand the budget to a HD 6850, then go for it.
