first of all the gama has to be turned up all the way up on crysis or untill sunlight looks real.
U cant set shadows under low unless u set shaders at low. shaders shadows and shaders work together. Here are the settings u should use if u set shaders to high mr. toms experts
Most realisic environment high performance .
Texture - medium
shaders - high
postprosesing -high
shadows -medium
water - medium ..
these seetings give me 20fps on vista and 30 on xp min 50 max. at 1600x1000 resolution on 16x10 monitor .20 on vista cause i only have 1 gig of ram . x64 bit version has unlimited clip and no motion blur because of the extended view range but sucks up like 8more fps . I havent tryed it with 4 gigs of ram on Vista x64 but I will soon.
Shaders high and post prosesing high makes trees look real . IF! u turn the gama all the way up like its supposed to be. or just guide yourself on the little gray bars they have next to gama . turning post procesing to low makes everything look sharper though and people might like it.post procesing just makes the shaders blurr out a little and u can tell the difference imedialty . most people like it with post setting low and shaders high .
this is another great setting that does not give u the realistic looking trees and grass but more like a day at the karabean islands look .. verry nice .
Texture High
shaders low
postprocesing low
shadows very high
water medium ..
i guarantee this looks verry verry good , better than any other game out there but without the realistic looking trees .
I personaly think Medium water looks better than very high because it looks crytal clear.
everything else does not matter.
Texture and Shader quality is what sucks up all the juice .shadows can never be at low no matter what.. they have to be at medium. going above medium just makes sun light look more real when coming from shadows like trees but you can get the same affect buy putting more contrast and gama on the settings.
u tom guys should try these settings with sli vid cars oh yea and do this . R_vsync 1 on console and tripplebuffering on and BAMB almost no lag .
