Crysis Performance: v1.0 vs v1.1 vs v1.2

Benching Crysis in xp? Pointless, Vista 64 bit or nothing.

hes got a point though... to really test crysis you should use vista as its going to be the new os soon and really shows what crysis has... or you could just look up triple c on google, download it, get so much more fps for crysis while it looks a lot better =D

vista bad

Maybe its dyslexia. I wnet to the meeting and they were all saying "fellow dyslexians UNTIE"

heh, nah, it just happens wiht time, one hand (generally the hand you use to write wiht) becomes a faster typer than the other oen so you press keys slightly faster wiht it than the other.

lol, windows 7 thats a joke... although, after using vista 64 for some lengthy period of time, i do find it rather nice, small features mainly, like ;'open file location" in the context menu, and the individual volume control per program...

i think it should be benched on vista 64, not because it is what everyone IS using, but because it will be what everyone WILL BE using...

Your Vista Fanboi opinion is in the minority for good reason. Crysis is similar to Vista in that they are both not suitable for gamers, yet, if ever.

Enjoy your low frame rates.

Its great that they are making performance improvements as time goes on.

And Vista and XP work great. Vista is much much more secure and its pretty. It also supports DX10 and has never crashed on me. File transfers are slower but oh well.

Im wondering, will the new FS be on windows 7, and isnt that the main reason why file transfers are that slow?

Good topic idea. But like most here, I'll rather see Vista 64, 4+ gigs RAM, and newest drivers.
BTW, I didn't have any problems with any software after I installed Vista 64 SP1.

I don't see any mention of the graphical bugs they added in 1.1.

But what about those of us who refuse to use Fista out of laziness, stubbornness and plain old tight fisted(ness).

Having a bad hair day?

Last information is that Windows 7 is the last 32bit and 64bit windows... Why on earth? I don't know...
Maybe they need 32 bit version for hand held computers???

I really doubt these benches because I remember when I played v1.0, I was in a hell of Lag, and when I updated it was beaufitul This was Xp at the time. The new patches actually made it playable on Vista!

.

Talk about bringing something constructive to a discussion!!!

One thing is true... and it's that the majority of user are still using XP over Vista. But, it's also true that most new computer are sold with Vista. The game is made to be played (altough not with current hardware maybe) with Dx10.

So, tell me, if you want to bench a Dx10 game, why not do it both with XP AND Vista? This way, everybody is happy. I personally use both XP and Vista (64-bit) on a dual-boot system. I play ALL of my game on Vista since I got that system in february 2007... and that include Crysis (partially in Dx10).

While its true about the new computers selling with Vista, let me ask this. What percentage of these new computers were sold from a store that had the option to Upgrade to XP ? Im not trying to be funny thats how the option is worded on the few manutacturers sites i have found offering the option.
By any standards Vista has been a failure as far as MS are concerned. The must have DX10 isnt. Enough people have asked for XP rather than Vista on new systems that some stores have bowed to preasure and implemented the option. so its not being forced in that way, thats not including people who installed XP themselves. Recently we have heard that there will be price cuts on vista. And now MS have submitted Windows 7 to the US goverment already. Now if thats not an OS on its way out i dont know what is.
Does anyone know how long the process takes from submitting to release ? I admit i may be jumping the gun on that as im not sure how it works but it has been reported in the press that its earlier than expected.

Its not Microsoft’s fault that creative will not support a lot of their sound cards with Vista. There was a person who was making drivers for creative cards with vista but creative got threatened because one man did the job that teams couldn’t and shut him down. Not only that, they said out loud in their own forum that they are refusing to support many of their cards with Vista. Why, because they said they have a new card coming out soon.

You can not blame Microsoft for issues that they have no control over. That is like me blaming you that T-mobile are f***tards.

Pfff... They should test this in Windows 7 and DDR3-26000 memory and a 1GB GDDR5 NVIDATIA video card using M-TRON battleship drives

+1

This thread isn't nearly as informative or interesting as I thought it would be.

Good day, sir. I said good day!

Why thank you!

You're just as bad!! Once again, I shall put in the caveat, I am NOT here for an argument, just to provide information.
Another Windows loveboy who can't see the wood for the trees!
"Not so much the hardware" do you even know the contents of a modern mac? Intel CPU, Intel chipset, ATi or Nvidia video card or Intel integrated graphics... Before you start striking out (utterly blindly, on nothing more than a mission to wind people up with your narrow-minded ****!) have a read about them! They are nowhere near as expensive as they used to be, the OS is very well designed. In some ways similar to Windows, in other ways not. Just different, which is seemingly what you and the other guy hate so much. If I am in your eyes (and I won't say I am, because there are people on here who are either mac owners or indifferent with them, so I shall not tar them with the same brush as you) a "feeble minded elitist", so be it, I could care less. As I have said (more than once) if I thought there was any benefit in explaining owning both a PC and a Mac, I would, but explaining to yourself and "LAN_deRf_HA" would be akin to talking to my feet and getting annoyed they don't talk back. Especially so as I have already been pigeon-holed as a "feeble minded elitist"

And so it shall pass the days of the troubles. For he who shalt not care wilt be dealt by the wrath of dust. Now I say unto you, clean yourself and your neighbor of this filth so once again thee shalt live cool in the (deity of your choice) own arms.

Very nice biblical... err.. smart??? sounding post, Lukebird. But as a PC and Mac owner, I prefer my misfit, brown suit warring, slightly out of shape, comical not arrogant PC. Although Apple is a good company and they are somewhat profitable... they are still over priced plastic hulks. Yes, Leoparcy is an okay OS, but being able to be hacked in under 2 minutes is nothing but shameful to that franchise. Ok, before I get too far into the flaws with Apple/Mac, I have to say they are good computers. They are great for instant messaging, web browsing, and... well... that's it. I can do everything else faster and cheaper on my PC.

To this day I still have safari crash on my once a day when looking at web pages... like THG/F for insteance. Itunes is still a resource hog, and although Leopard is nice looking, it is somewhat sluggish when attempting to do anything taxing to the OS. Not only that, as a gamer, on a gamer site, and speaking for other gamers... Mac, you just can't game. Well not yet anyway (but that's not the point right now, the point is I forgot what I am talking about and have been dragging this on for a little while now)....

So for someone who has both, I ask thee to disclaim this feeble passion which the golden idle Jobs hath put forth in your eyes. Repent my son, and thee shall be saved and come unto the glory of the Gates.

Lukebird, I wasn’t trying to be too serious in my post. I bought an Apple not because I wanted to go and see what was better or not, but I need(ed) to learn how to use it. At work, in our graphical department, they are using PC's right now but are soon moving over to Apples (Why one may ask, the reason is unknown other than the manager of that department was it that way; although non of the works want them because of their previous experience of working with them which is why they have PCs now... wow, that’s a rant to the MAX!). I work IT so I will be fixing them. I need to know my way around the machine and abuse mine so when I break it (on purpose or not) I can learn how to fix it.

We are all a little bias toward one thing or another, it just depends on how educated your mind is that will show how apparent your bias is. Educated in the sense of not how many years of school you completed or how many degrees you have, but the true educated in the ability to explore things you may or may not agree with, to understand new ideas (if you agree with them or not is to be decided by non other than yourself).

I did like that you posted in an old fashion sounding English. To see the works of our father’s time and once before him to bless our screens in what we read with a sense of grace is quite a pleasant change from the short, abbreviated pace of this impatient "civilized" world. I was also trying to comment on the Apple commercials where they try to make out that PC's are bad... or not "in fashion". I would rather have a machine that lets me make it... it then be ruled by a delusional CEO. Not to mention that they are just overpriced trendy paper weights.

Mac 10.X is a good OS. Much, much better than Mac 9 and the versions set down before that. It took them a little more than 10 tries to get it to its current point. Microsoft is only on try 6, they have four more to go to be at the "it just works" stage. While in Vista... they are already there. (Please, if you disagree with me on this comment do so; but only comment if you actually use Vista. Notice use and not used.)

Which in returns to our main topic of the Crysis performance and should we or shouldn’t we use only Vista as the test bed. I will once again say that we should use only vista here. Why you may ask why, my reply is this not an Enthusiast site? Do we not strive to have the newest and the best? Is that not want makes an enthusiast and enthusiast? Why would we being the people we are stay with the old and not accept the change? Why would we be afraid of something new? For the facts that have been given that Crysis is a big hype for DX10, that alone should show it be tested in only Vista. I don't remember seeing XP supported with DX10, nor is it capable of such nonsense (as of right now until there is any other proof shown).

LOL!!! love the "Enjoy your low frame rates"

I do concur that it is easy to set up an Apple on a network, so-be-it as the arrow of Cisco doth not seek to slice the Apple in two. From my usage, I have found that Cisco is a great and powerful company who build nothing but great and powerful devices. The greatness of their own wireless devices seems to sometime be too great for the simple Fruit, causing it to lay dormant on the ground. It has only been until the router has its great security features calmed down some that the Apple are brought to rest on high. Although at the labor yard I have not had the frustrations of this happening yet, I have had the frustrations of Outlook ‘07 and the Apple. The corporate electronic-mailing list will not auto-populate as it does when setting up with a Microsoft Exchange server on a Windows machine. Tis sad...

I do agree that I find my magic electrical box with the Windows very useful for the taxing services and the ability to bring temporary joy of the virtual fun (nothing funny ) while the glowing white Apple is used for the easy minded activities. Agree, I do, with thee.
