Getting 5 FPS on 800x600 + low settings , no background program running ,
my specs
GPU : GTX 650 TI
PROC: core 2 duo E4300 @ 1.8 GHZ
Ram: 2 GB
MSI afterburner shows 30-40 GPU usage
I know that maybe bcoz of bottleneck but I should get a min 30 FPS ?


There are your issues right there plain and simple. Completely pathetic CPU with 2GB of DDR2. Nowadays 4GB of DDR3 is barely enough let alone 2GB of DDR2.

If you want to use your GPU properly, you are going to need to buy a new CPU + mobo + ram + maybe PSU as well. Not to mention the 650TI isn't even a good card for value (Can't even support SLI).

I dont want 60 FPS Gameplay but it should be playable on high to mid sett... :)  BTW do you think 5-10 FPS is normal with that CPU ?

If you had a respectable CPU, yes easily. But with a CPU that falls under the minimum spec you can't expect to get anywhere. Its like pairing a Pentium 3 with a 690, the 690 has to slow down so that the Pentium 3 can cope, as all the information from the GPU can't get through because the CPU is too slow. That is a bottleneck, and quite a big one.

DEAD SPACE 3's MIN req 2.8 GHZ & mine falls under the minimum spec but I get 70-100+ FPS in ultra , why C3 IS more CPU dependent ? I dont get it !

The pretty much specifically make Crysis games to test your hardware, in my opinion. I've never played a Crysis game, never heard anyone talk about the gameplay. I think the game was made to satisfy all the nerds out there who make the greatest gaming rigs. Guild Wars 2 is another popular game that is quite taxing on the CPU.

Dead Space 3 and Crysis 3 are 2 different things completely. If your system falls below the minimum specs, its gonna run like crap. Yours does, thats why it runs like crap. 2gbs of RAM? Ouch.

Will there be FPS improvement If I switch two 4 GIGs for now ?

Amd's are cheap so do you think it will performs similar to i7's . I use programs like Photoshop , and others .


if you've been using that E4300 for those tasks, i don't think you'd have the rights to complain if the 6300 doesn't perform as well as an i7.

and to answer your question:

it's at least a major improvement

You know theres a reason why people spend thousands of dollars for high performance PC equipment. If all tasks could be done with a $500 budget then wed all be using consoles. If you want good performance, dont be cheap. And if you are cheap, dont expect high performance. See the logic in that?

Funny thing is an FX 8350 is leading the cpu benchmarks for Crysis 3, the game just loves cores.

Even with my 5.0 Ghz i5 2500k and SLI 680's there are parts in the game where my framrates dive.

You need a current generation CPU to enjoy this game!

I've seen gaming pc built with a 300$ budget. You don't need thousands of dollars to have a pc that plays games.

Wow 2 way 680's and FPS dives thats just unacceptable btw do you think AMD 's are good for multitasking + more performance for money ? than Intel :)

Yeah and could even go lower than that with a Raspberry Pi. I said high performance equipment. Not bottom of the barrel budget PC hardware. If Crysis 3 could be maxed on a $500 budget, dont you think wed all have $500 builds? Hence my point. Theres a reason people spend thousands on PC gear. Cause we want top line performance. The OP shouldnt expect anything but low level performance with his current gear or even a $500 budget.

Like most people, I'd recommend a new system. If you're like me, however, and can't afford a new system immediately, an upgrade is in order. Check out your board and see what the highest cpu it can support. LGA 775 is way past its eol date, thus finding a cheap used part that passes the minimum req is very easy. Upgrading that system is truly, just a stop-gap measure.

Yes and @ $200 is the best band for the buck, indeed finally developers are optimizing for FX architecture. As more games become multi-threaded we will see this trend continue

wow ! it opened my eyes , now looking forward to FX8350 , do you think it will perform better than 3770K + future proof ?

now i can finaly say AMD FTW AND NOT intel ftw. i'm glad that the amd cpu are beginning to be used where they where made for

or the vdeo is cheated
or his card is crap
(i think it is option 2)
lol the video is not cheated , ur considering it cheated coz u think that OC gtx 550 ti better than 650 ti & still cant handle Crysis 3 :p  Let me tell you an OC GTX 550 TI cant even come closer to GTX 650(non TI ) :( 
2nd my card isnt a crap it can handle non cpu intensive game at ultra very well .Above all its the processor actually depends in Crysis 3 .Btw your friend maybe using some low end Proc :p

i7 2600k oc 4ghz don't think it is low end (btw i know the vid is not cheated :p ) it is just wierd that it won't run crysis 3 good low at 1024*768 he gets 45fps avg and his minimum is 40. his pc runs bf3 on veryhigh at 1080p really good avg 60 fps (ultra sometimes lags)

wow i7 2600k ain't low end but 3rd gen processor is recommended for C3 , you cant help it :)  . I have seen people with 2500K i5 struggling and cant even rich stable 30 fps in low :)  . On that vid he is using i5 3570k thats why ;)

that SUCKS really hard he paid like 350€ for it and he can't run crysis 3. but there is something wierd about it i have seen people run it on a core 2 quad core on medium with an hd 7770 i think. WIERD (but an phenom x4 965 be will work or not?)

70-100+ on ultra?

I may believe you if you are using a resolution of 640x480 or below, but who in their sane mind will play games on pc like that?

Also, how do you know you are getting those numbers? Either you are using a 120hz display which I doubt since those are expensive and you are using a cheap desktop, or you are just mentioning the fps you get during the opening scenes, or when looking at empty areas, but definitely not the average number while in-game.

hahaha lol why should I lie ? I was using 1366x768 monitor and was at very high setting :)  , but there was micro stuttering at some point in the game :)  I could have posted a photo with Msi afterburner but I already uninstalled it 6-4 days ago .

Hey guys, I dont want to spam, so I put it here.
I have problem with crysis 3 FPS too! :( 

Specs:

Graphic card: MSI R7870
Procesor: AMD Phenom 955 3,7 Ghz.

Iam playing campaign and I have only +-20-26 FPS in Fraps.
Any ideas about this problem? If you want any more info, I can write it bellow.

I have reinstalled Win7 64bit. Coz I had problems with start up too( for about 2-3 minutes).
Thanks

If u read on the internet, people with 3960x get better performance than people with 3770k i crysis 3. This means that crysis 3 is incredibly well optimized to use the cpu, thats why u are facing a lad dude to the slow cpu.

Do you think it will be solved if I get the 3770k or wait for haswell bcoz 3960x is very costly !

You are still running an AMD 6000+, thats your problem.


Aww, Iam so sorry. It was my old procesor. Now I have AMD phenom 955.
Its Q-core 3,7Ghz. Is it oldschool in this times? I have seen specs for crysis 3. Thanks:) 
So my answer up here is actual. I will edit it.
