Around what fram rate is decent enough to play crysis

I know many will disagree with me. But I have found Crysis to run smother than other games. For me personally I need 40fps in a fast moving car racing came (such as Grid), 35fps in Call of Duty at a minimum, 20fps minimum in fsx; as you can see different games are playable with different frame rates.

However for Crysis I need a minimum of 25 frames to be playable and 30 frames best!

@Tech-Boy I need 40fps in GRID too. But I need 50+ in CoD4. I can do with 25 in Crysis. But I reduce settings to get a higher 40fps sometimes.

@michael don't get started on the 60fps thing again. It might hold true for other games, but not for Crysis.

Also hold true for Crysis.

If you are specking a machine by looking at reviews of cards and trying to work out a bottom line on teh GPU just be aware that you can loose 10% for a start as the reviewers use stupidly high spec CPU's which will give the GPU extra resourses to play with, this translates into higher FPS (obviously) Also its worth checking if you are looking at minimum or maximum or average FPS in the results.
You want to be looking at minimum really as far as specking a PC goes as its worse case performance, remember the CPU though.
Something that gives Average 35-45 max 45 upwards and minimum 25 but that really is minimum 30 for personal preferance.

Gotta get that extra performance where you can right
Lots of people just make do with stock settings when tweaking the bowls of a GPU's settings can yeild untold performance and quality benefits.

I was actually surprised when I got my 4850 and started playing Warhead. 25fps in Very High 0xAA 0xAF with a stock Q6600 and C6 RAM. I find that my ATI is a little unstable even if I OC a little bit, so I just run it at stock.

Damn right guys...my AMD 4400+ plays everything iv thrown at it even GTA iv at way more than acceptable pace...albeit iv not tried crysis mainly because i dislike the game...its not my kind of game

Understanding your operating system and your system itself is a deadly combination....my 6000+ and XP 64 bit for example

Its sad when you can recite regedit tweaks by memory

My mean FPS is 28 FPS running on enthusiast ( Except the texture object thing setting which requires DX10 ) in Crysis Warhead. When I'm just driving around fps jumps around 30 - 35, but in heavy battles it can drop untill 20 fps ( ! )... Still very playable though in my opinion, as long it's not all the way below 25 fps.
Playing Crysis on Very high, no Idea never tried it.
