Hey guys, I have been at building/ upgrading my computer for a couple months, and I've been asking people what's been bottlenecking my system, etc... but now that i have a new cpu, more ram, better gpu, and new motherboard, my fps in crysis hasn't improved... my specs are below, in my description, but I don't get it! I play at 1024x768, all sound stutters have stopped and physics aren't laggy anymore, but I hover around 29fps still! I play at all very high, at the above mentioned resolution. All my other games are great too... Battlefield Bad Company 2 @ ~40 fps, Dirt 2 @ 60-90 fps, and Fallout 3 at waay too many fps :) but I don't know what's up with Crysis! Is there some tweak for ATI cards that would help my fps in game?
 
Solution
start the Game, hit the windows key, or ctl,alt,del, get to the windows explore and find Crysis.exe,

right click
Set Priority = Real Time
Set Affinity =
how many cores you want to work, but there is some chatter that more than 2 cores can cause sound problems

Yeah, but my Phenom II x4 965 is only running at 46%... I can't be CPU limited.

You really need another 5770, I get a average of 45 fps with a i7 960 and 2 GTX 480s @ 1920 x 1200 1AA...

I would say its very demanding considering I get higher fps in metro 2033 maxed out. Crysis relies more on the gpu then cpu by far.

that's the thing... i checked affinity and crysis is supposed to use all 4 cores, but when I have task manager open it only uses 1 core at 100% and the others at about 5%-10%... in other games, the usage is spread evenly across all 4 cores... the processor isn't defective... I just don't think crysis knows how to utilize it.

I copied this from NV news.net
Next I'll be checking the scaling with the CPU @ 333x9=3.0GHz:cool:
CPU @ 333x9=3000MHz
PCIe @ 100MHz
RAM @ 800MHz 4-4-4-12 T2

1 Core
0.09/17.46/45.47

2 Cores native
20.18/36.12/47.47

2 Cores non-native
22.11/36.98/47.24

3 Cores
19.87/36.38/48.76

4 Cores
20.36/36.28/46.31

I saw this in a more recent game...

Splinter Cell Conviction! I set affinity and manually made all the cores active; did you do the same? Do not expect a huge performance gain with a single 5770 even at gamer settings. Did you try crysis warhead?

I didn't think there was a very large performance difference between the Phenom II @ 3.4 and the i7 @ 3.8... i just figured that the 400mhz weren't worth minding.... the only other huge difference between the test rig and mine is the memory speed and timings... my memory runs at 667 mhz, while the test rigs runs at ~1600 mhz... I heard that this doesn't make a difference in frame rate... does it?

yes crysis is a very badly coded game, i mean like over 1million lines of code, it is just a system hog. The game should run fine even on an 8800 hardware but down to the codeing it might as well be still in beta test stage :??: i really hope they sort this for crysis 2
 


If it is boring to you, then why you are posting? :pfff:

Please, if you dont have anything useful to say to help with the problem then dont comment and move along. It just better that way.



Anyways, has other people stated. with your low resolution, the cpu is most likely the bottleneck.

Other people have mentioned overclocking the cpu, have you tried turning up AA? it may put more work back on the gpu.

Also try updating the video drivers to the latest. See if that helps.
 
Crysis Warhead runs way better than Crysis. With a single 5850 I was running Crysis in High detail, 4xAA around 45fps. Now I have crossfire 5850s, running Crysis at Very High 2xAA nets around 55fps, while Crysis Warhead at Enthusiast (highest) 4xAA runs at least 55fps (got warhead after the 2nd 5850). Metro 2033 also runs around 50fps at max settings. This is at 1920x1080. IMO the 5770 just doesn't have the juice for max settings Crysis, but the game will still look great at High detail 2xAA and should run fairly smooth. A 5770 just really can't cope with very high in that game...
I ran a bunch of benchmarks, a single 5850 OCed to 875/1200 runs Crysis at Very High, 1920x1080 4xAA at average 32fps, while crossfire 5850s at the same OC run average 52. Just lower it to High and you'll gain at least 10 fps, and putting the AA from 4x to 2x will also gain some FPS unless you're seeing a cpu bottleneck, but I doubt that's happening.
 


Please don't troll. Crysis is a great game which many FPS lovers enjoy. If you don't like it, that's fine. But not only is the quality of the game irrelevant to this thread, but you're also being unnecessarily disruptive. I have zero liking of Pokemon, but it's not my place to point that out. If you like it, go have fun catching them all and leave us to discuss hardware and game settings in the hope of helping the OP out or at least explaining the case.

thats not the point, he didnt ask for your opinion of the game, he asked for help with preformance you double troll.
