Why can't my pc max crysis 2

both of us play at 1680X1050 resolution

Anything around 30 FPS is "smoothly"

Anything around 30fps is playable.

Hell it will not even look like it is lagging untill you get below 20 fps.

And he was on hardcore = max.

I guess your TV has been lagging all of these years until recently...


*TVs used to run @24fps until they moved to HD*

A gtx 275 wouldn't run crysis 1 at max settings smoothly so why do you think it would run crysis 2 at max settings with playable fps? Secondly your friend is a liar I don't think he's getting more than 30 fps with one gtx 460 seeing that my buddy has an oce'd 1gb evga and the fps are 25 on hardcore. Buy a new video card, I just purchased dual 6870's and I'm running at 60 fps in hardcore.

your gpu is good but you may need to change it crysis designed to run on dx 11 and your card dosent support it get a gtx 570 but 30 fps is not bad its good and playable i used to play crysis 1 on 1920-1080 with my 5870 and i only get 30 fps at enthsiast settings but now i have another one in crossfire and now i get average 60 fps

I got 460 GTX 1 G and i got min 36 FPS, max 60 (bcs of vsinc on) and average about 44fps. And my card is not fully overclocked so Yes it can max out Crysis 2

the eye can only see at 24 fps...?

i have tried all modes and cant even tell the difference in image quality between them all. so i wouldnt even bother chasing "hardcore" mode. the only thing you see is a huge drop in fps for no image quality benefit. better off looking into a FOV tweak and disable motion blur which is really distracting to the game. I also agree, you can tell the diff between 24 and 30fps and even up to 40-50. but beyond that not really.

lulz... anything over 30 is considered playable.

a trained human eye can see up to 350+ fps especially fighter pilots, f1 drivers and the likes
the average guy will see around 60-75 and think the image is flicker free.

when you go over that your not actually aware of any difference consciously. but what you will notice is if you go from 75 fps down to 45 you will notice the slowdown but its only really noticeable as a comfort thing... if your playing at a constant 45 fps and you jump + or - 1-2 fps you generally wont notice it especially if you have vsnc on so you wont see the tearing

so i did some research and in ways we are both right

The human eye doesn't see in "frames" merely decides how much detail to take in. For tv the images blurred into each other which is how they could achieve smooth looking pictures at 24fps.

However with games when there is fast moving involved and there is no blurring 60fps does look smoother than 30.

Another reason 30 may not smooth is is wont be a constant 30 fps, it will spike down occasionally (and up averaging at 30)

just lower the settings down to high.The weird thing with metro is that between hig and very high there is no Image quality improvements except for motionblur which I hate.

I doubt they will release a more demanding metro 2034.Look what happened to crysis devs.Back in 2007 they released crysis which was supposed to be hardware futureproof.People began moaning about how demanding it was and so they released crysis 2 which was a console port.I think the same will happen with metro 2034.Its not good for business if a game becomes even more demanding.Besides hardware hasnt caught up with metro 2033 yet.Even the 5970 cant max the game with DOF.

yeah and the funny thing is that even after the patch in the brightness section it still says"Please adjust your TV settings"LOL.Also for some reason crysis at 30fps was way smoother than crysis 2 at 30 fps.I remember back in the day when I had a 8800GTX I played through crysis maxed at 21 fps and it was still smooth.Crysis 2 feels jerky at 30 fps.In any case as iam2thecrowe posted I can't see the difference between the 3 modes so whats the point of losing the fps?

the aim assistance only works when an xbox 360 controller is plugged to the pc.If you are playing with keyboard or mouse you don't get aim assistance.Aim assistance means that when the enemy is in your vision the crosshair automatically locks on the enemy so all you have to do is shoot so its easy to play crysis 2 and get the most kills with the xbox controller.In case of keyboard mouse combo you have to manually aim so those playing with xbox controllers will easily kill you before you even ready yourself to shoot.
and to answer your other question,no its not similar to strength mode in crysis.Enabling strength mode in original crysis steadies your hand so the recoil of your gun is reduced and you can aim more precisely but you still have to manually aim.I seriously doubt whether crytek will release the game in this condition because majority who have tried the demo will not buy it

yes.crysis 2 is the first console port to have aim assistance to multiplayer.If you want the most kills just plug in your xbox controller and own people.

I couldnt tell the diff between aim assist on or off (KB & Mouse). Are you saying it is only enabled with a game pad? Still gay to have in multiplayer, i hope this is fixed.

the next move will merge the consoles and pc server together. then they will force the pc player to use controller only if they want to play the multiplayer
