same as you and at 3.2. sli 590 mb and 2 gb of DDR2 gskill with a GTS 640MB. Ran fine for me. I think My lowest frame rate hit 18 with fraps but averaged 24 25. Not the greatest but it was very playable on all high settings...

WTH

My mates C2D must be too overclocked then...

If you get 24/25 @ 1920x1200 then I should get 40/50

How were your physics settings? I think it was the physics that killed my friends PC...

Looking forward 2 friday!

NDA is a agreement that forbides you to tell anything about the beta outside their official forums. If something naughty is released to the public your beta key will be closed.

Anyways i doubt you can play a decent crysis game with 25 fraps.
I prefer to have decent gfx and a great fps rate, like between 35 and 45.

Ahhhh thanks, now I see, I didn't know about that.

Hmm, yeh, I hope I get above 30

Physics will always kill the graphics off a game..definitely if you intend to play crysis properly you'll want near the 50 mark at least.
I'd definitely recommend turning the physics to low or off to gain about a 10-15 increase in fps..especially in multiplayer where fps is important.
It'll be nice to see the cpu take over the physics completely rather than having the card do it.

Doesnt the quad core take care of the physics problem? I tought Quad took care of this issue easly.

Reply to Archy

We don't really know, in UT3 you can set the advanced physics with a multi core CPU and not on a single core (i haven't verified, just seen it on epic's forums), it's basically useless.

Well I agree to a higher frame rate too, but this is the best my system could manage. I wanted to see how well it would run on all high settings and its playable. I could tell there were a few bugs but overall it is fun. I think I will like the single player better, much like Far Cry. I will be upgrading come Christmas to the next round of Nvidia GPUs 8900 GTX or whatever it will be called. But really so far my GTS 640mb has done just fine with all games and demos to this point max settings 1920 x 1200. Yeh If I had a C2D 6600 or higher OCed I could do better but Im not a Intel fanboy never will be. Im not worried about the NDA, Ive posted videos and pics of my gameplay for weeks after the beta came out and Im still playing it. Im ready for the SP demo now on Friday..

Can you do me a favour, and turn the res down to 1280*1024 and let me know what the FPS is?

Thanks!

Fileplanet should have it, better yet if your a subscriber you can get it faster. 2 days to go then waiting on COD4 and then the game of the year on the 16th!

Huh? E6600 and 8800 GTX everything was maxed out and it was like 40-60 fps

------------------------------ It's a theater of love stories.

Something tells me only $ paying subscribers of fileplanet will be sniffing the demo.

I just going to bide my time. There's no way my 320 will run it anywhere close to high.

I'll buy it now if the game and gameplay itself is worth it. Otherwise I'll just wait until after my next upgrade in a year or so. Pretty graphics without core gameplay is no hurry for me.

All HIGH, AAx08: 31.44 avg
All HIGH, AAx00: 43.66 avg
All HIGH but (no motion blur), AAx00: ~ 48 avg
All HIGH but (no motion blur + Medium Physics), AAx00: ~ 48 avg

Sorry, but I don't have that good a monitor.
Compromises, compromises....

I should mention that the system runs on a Raptor 150 and DirectX was updated to the November edition.

All measurements are the mimaxavg value from FRAPS, played over the same spot each time.

Ran it at 1920x1200 with all high settings and AA/AF off.
Getting around the 20-25fps on average.
Ran it at 1680x1050 with same settings and getting between 35-45fps.
I pity anyone without an 8800GTX/S or the new 8800GT as it's going to kill most video cards.

Above was ran under XP.
Tonight I'll run it under Vista 64bit. It's supposed to be optimised for this so it'll be interesting to see the results.

I run the demo again but this time I OCed my E6750 to 3.8 GHz:

1280*1024, 8800 GTS 640 (648-1620-2106)

All HIGH (no motion blur, Medium Physics), AAx00: ~ 43 avg

Worse than when running the E6750 at the standard 2.66 GHz !!!

Fair enough, since this was a session with FRAPS there could be variation that can account for the different avg.
But I would at least expect a slightly higher avg, not less!

Does this mean Crysis is GPU bound in DX9?
