so then what card should i aim to get? is 670 enough?
As for me i played the crysis 3 beta i cant speak for the final version but i had to turn some settings down and i own the 660ti. Im getting the 780 for sure. I know drivers will get better as the game ages but i do want a faster gtx
A 670 will be able to max the game not constant 60 FPS min but it can handle it sure. I was getting max frames over 100 and avg frames around 60 FPS with the BETA. With time the drivers will be more optimized for it from both AMD/Nvidia.
Dude you'll be able to run it. With my i7-3770k and a 660ti I was getting around 40-60 FPS in the demo, maxed settings, 1080p.
You'll definitely need to tweak it, turn a few things down, but you know that already since I'm sure you've had to do so before with that card. Don't expect maxed settings at 60fps, but you'll definitely be able to run it on a playable, enjoyable level.
I would say Crysis 3 will probably be more stressful on cards then GTA V however keep in mind that GTA V has not been announced to released on the PC even though one should expect it to.
that sounds about right. I'll have to check that article out. I think a lot of it has to do with the ram usage. Also, I've been hearing that the game is heavily multi threaded.
No. It will just not be the same resolution making things less sharp. Just make sure you drop to a res that is the same aspect ratio so that everything doesn't stretch.
honestly there isnt much difference between the lowest detail setting and the next step up in C3, well i hardly noticed it anyway. It still looks good on the lower detail setting at 1080p, but the full game may differ from the beta. even if you have to turn other details down you should still be able to turn texture detail up since you have 2gb vram.
Right but that isn't what we were going into . We were going into what kind of settings one should expect with the 560Ti with Crysis 3 and based on that review which has 1600x1200 resolution that if you went down to a x1050 resolution you could probably get away with high and have it be playable. I played alpha and beta the game didn't look any different so I'll agree with you there however that wasn't really what we were going into.
