CRYSIS SP DEMO PICS AND PERFORMANCE..

WOO HOO it plays friking alot better than the Beta. Running on my X2 6000+ at 3.2 Ghz, 2 GB Gskill DDR2, GTS 640 MB OC'ed to 550/1700, 2 x Raptors 150 Gb Win XP with latest Nvidia Driver Beta 169.01. I get 25 to 30 FPs on Fraps with a low of 18. But is still smooth and very playable on all high settings at 1920 x 1200 Res. Here are some pics...













Be warned playing on normal difficulty is like playing on hard. You have get used to the controls and react fast. Enemy AI is fantastic! Ill be up all night... ENJOY for those that can run it!

I play with everything on very high and get a average of 20 fps at 1440x900. I played the demo through the first time with no fraps then played again with it so I'd have my idea on how smooth I thought the gameplay was before I saw the FPS and I was surprised to see I was only getting 20 fps. To me it seemed like more but I'm not changing a setting. There is no AA + AF though.

I ran this game on a 7800GT @ 1600 x 1200. With medium settings i was shocked to see the demo run 90% smooth. A few hiccups here and there but nothing too "man i need a new machine for this". I stress that if your running on a 7series card you may want to keep the graphics to medium cause at high my game just locked up and bottlenecked like hell. The cutscenes were choppy and my card had a hard time playing them but the action was smooth. My machine is: Asus P5WD2, Pentium 4 3.20ghz, 75GB Raptor, Crucial 2GB DDR2 533, running on a EVGA 7800GT card.

When I run the game on medium settings about 5 minutes in it crashes and I look at my temperatures and my graphics card is at 80 degrees celsius.

Btw I have

Pentium D 925 3.0ghz
7950GT 256mb
2Gb 533 (pc2-4200)
Windows Vista Basic

I am running the demo too and here is my system. 2x2900 xt, 1x raptor 150 gb, 1x intel q6600@3ghz, 2x pny 8500 ddr2, 1xintel badaxe 2 mobo, 1 x creative elite pro, and last but not least dell 3007 2560x1600 resolution which is beautiful but rapes performance. I get about 10-30 fps in the demo with vista 64 bit ultimate running in 64 bit mode. I have it on dx10 everything on high except for sound and physics which are on very high and i have shadows on medium(both settings). If I turn them on high i get 10 fps max ~_~. Yeah I am kind of pissed having paid 6k for a rig like this to run crysis at max and getting raped in the ass but w/e.

hehe .. feel sorry for all those people with huge 22 - 30in screens and cant run crysis demo with max resolution and high settings..
Video cards are currently letting this game down for super uber high resoluions I reackon ?!!!?

i dont understand....i bought my rig in April of this year with one thing in mind...CRYSIS!! my specs are : P5B Deluxe (fsb @ 324mhz), 4GB DDR2 Patriot(5-5-5-15 @ 2.0V), BFG TECH 8800GTX OC2, C2D E6600 @ 2.92(cant go higher, i get blue screens...WTF?) , vista ultimate 64-bit and running BETA drivers 169. i put everything on very high, running in 32-bit mode(demo crashes in 64-bit, or i might be mistaken) @ 1680x1050 and boy does it suck!!! i probably get 8fps max....wtf?? setting gfx on high doesnt make a huge difference and playing on medium...well...the game doesnt look the same to me...can this be my windows or driver issues maybe??? or is my pc just not up for the task??if you want to play crysis in all its glory, do you need to spend $10k on a pc????

can someone comment on this plz

Palm trees and other plants look so horrible on the images with 1280x1024 resolution.
Is it possible to enable high level antialiasing to increase the image quality at that resolution or is the only solution to buy a 20"+ display with higer resolution?

I would really like to have a look at some screenshots with palm trees and grass at 1280x1024 with 4x or 8x AA. For some reason the game looks so much better on the screenshots that soldier37 provided than on the ones that Shaft Dawg's and Stemnin showed here. Is it only higher resolution or something else too (maybe HDR is enabled?) that makes the game appear much better on soldier37's screenies?

All high graphic settings and 16xQ AA @ 1680x1050 got me 18-25fps with my rig. A little disappointing... I have a q6600, X-Fi and Physx card on the way... I hope it helps.

This is going to be one expensive game to play

Guys I ran the demo with my 7600GT. I know, I know, but I set all settings to low and tried 1280x1024, I also tried at 1024x768 and 800x600. I know the card is ancient but, It was very playable between freezes. Ok it was smooth and didnt make me dizzy until about every 15 seconds it freezes for 5 seconds, then it plays normal for 15 seconds and then freezes for another 5. Kinda wierd I thought maybe the hardrive wasnt loading fast enough. What do you think was causing the freezes?

This demo really showed the age of my X1900 XTX. Medium all round with only CCC AA and AF getting round 35-40 avg fps on 1280 x 1024. Awsome graphics even at medium and DX9, only main noticable difference is the water effects.

Liked beating up the sand birds on the beach also running about in stealth in the shrubs to lure the ememy to you inquizitive of the strange sounds coming from the said shrubs an thats on normal difficulty!! Found it fairly similar to Farcry, but those added abilities really change the whole style of annihilation . By the sounds of some of the other people here with fairly uber rigs, barely getting over 30 fps on very high settings i won't be even trying to attempt to upgrade my comp to get it to run Crysis maxed . Anyway hope you enjoyed it as much as I.

With Very high and 16QAA on (1650x1024) i get around 10-15FPS
I have a E660 @ 3.3ghz and a gxt with small OC on it as well
To get it to run at 30FPS i need to run it on high with some medium settings, I cant get the 64bit version to run on my rig it crashes so i just run the 32bit one. i hope that in the next few weeks Nvidia will optmize some more drivers for the game, as well as the final release running a bit smoother as well in 64bit mode.

I have not seen anyone else have that problem with a 7600GT.

and here i am and FARCRY still amazes me, this is like the 2nd coming. he's not carver is he?

Why are you fighting at night did you wait it to become night?

I have Vista 64-bit. For some reason I couldn't get Crysis-64-bit running so I launched the 32-bit version and works fine. ***Edited, it works fine now, make sure you Force V-Sync if you have an higher-end Videocard. However, these shots were taken from 32-bit version. Hence, the FPS would have been higher (average 3-5 FPS higher) but the image quality should remain the same.***

Before anything, If you have vista, please download the latest drivers for your Videocard and the latest "Games for windows-DirectX" patch and you'll be good to go.

I compared a few places with 4 different settings on each frame and included my FPS with FRAPS. The ONLY thing I was changing between images is the SHADERS Quality and it goes from Low to Very High. Every other settings including Texture is set to very high with 1080x720 resolution and no AA.

While testing many settings, the only two major changes to FPS are AA and SHADER settings. Texture is also a big one but less of a problem if you have 512MB RAM+.

LOW

MEDIUM

HIGH

VERY HIGH

LOW

MEDIUM

HIGH

VERY HIGH

---------------------

So here's the biggest setting you can play with that will affect performance/quality.

Nota: If you have lower than 8800 gtx series with less than 640mb of RAM, try playing with the following settings as they will impact performance as well.

Impact Settings:
1- AA (Especially on Very High settings)
2- Shaders Quality

Major settings:
3- Texture Quality
4- Shadow Quality
5- Post Processing
6- Particles Quality
7- Volumetric Effect

For single cores:
8- Physics

For onboard soundcards
9- Sound Quality

Hope this helps!

If your "Physics Quality" was set to low, then your CPU won't work as much. Try changing the Physics to medium or higher and you may put your CPU to the test. Here are some results using a Quad CPU with highest settings for Physics.

I'm running a Athlon 64 3500+ and 1 Gig corsair ram 256MB radeon X800 and getting 28-35 FPS at 1024x768 with everything at medium no AA I am blown away by how good the game runs on my crappy computer

Yes. When you install the demo, you have the choice to launch the game from both the 32-bit folder or the 64-bit folder.

However, the 64-bit version of the demo had a few bugs. All have been fixed by the time the full game lauched. I got the game wednesday (I'm in Canada) and it looks awesome!
