Playing crysis on large display

[drpierce]

I am trying to play crysis on a 50in HD tv. i can only run in 720p with 8x AA extra high settings with this rig. amd dual 3.2 6000+,8 gig 800mhz dual ch. ram, 1024mem on 9800gt (not ocl). I want to run in 1080p with 1920x1080, my native reso. How do I do this???

what od you mean? Stuttering, or not showing the resolution? I can gurantee you're not going to get 1080P with 8xAA and ultra high settings on that rig. Turn down the AA and you might be fine, might have to lower settings down to high though

You have to change the res inside the game.

Cheers!

Thx for reply. Well, what would i have to upgrade in order to play 1080p maxed out on 50 inch?run dual video card, buy newest card,processor and ram seem more than adequate. what about radeon hd 5870 or 5970. money not an issue.

Yep... no way your going to get 1080P with maxed settings in that game with your rig. Without changing your whole rig, your best bet would probably be a purchase of a GTX 295, 5970, or equivalent SLI. You'll probably be able to get 1080P with an additional 9800 in SLI but you still won't get 8X AA At highest quality.

If money is no object, then look at the following chart for the HD 5970's performance @ 1920 x 1200 both stock speed and overclocked speed. Playing on a 1920 x 1080 HDTV / monitor will probably give you around 5% more FPS.

The testbed for those benchmarks are as follows:

1. Intel Core i7-975 Extreme Edition processor (3.33 GHz, 6.4 GT/s QPI);
2. Gigabyte GA-EX58-Extreme mainboard (Intel X58 Express chipset);
3. Corsair XMS3-12800C9 (3 x 2 GB, 1333 MHz, 9-9-9-24, 2T);
4. Samsung Spinpoint F1 HDD (1 TB, 32 MB buffer, SATAII);
5. Enermax Galaxy DXX EGX1000EWL 1000 W power supply;
6. Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit;


The i7-975 can be bought for around $950 - $1,000. You can buy a slower i7 CPU and overclock it to get similar results.

Hey Jaguar, I have a problem. I'm looking at these stats up there. I have 3 5870s with a PII 965 @ 4.0GHZ, 8GB Ram @1066, SSD, and under win7, I can't get anywhere close to the FPS for Crysis, but under Vista I can with 4xAA enabled. Any ideas why?

Most likely it is a driver issue.

 

[microterf]

same drivers though. Can't seem to figure it out. But my 3dMArk vantage score is LOWER in Vista. (guess it doesn't really matter much, but driving me crazy)
