Crysis - 8800gt

That's because you're running it on High, 1600x1200, and still only managing ~30fps. Are you using Vista or XP?

Also, fraps screenshot in core please, I'd love to see what FPS you're hitting there

i was wondering, what hsf do u have on ur q6600 (thinking of overclocking)

My heatsink is a thermalright ultra-120 extreme, and the fan is just a dynex 120mm. It maintains <50c at full load, but I still need to lap the heatsink as it's still not keeping the cpu as cool as I'd like it.

Would this run a bit smoother on DX9 in XP? I picked up this game just due to all the hype as I just got a 8800GT card as well on a E8400 chip.

I was thinking of slapping XP Pro in a dual boot configuration just to play around with it.

what a load of ****
you cannot run crysis at 1600x1200 with all very high settings with 2aa on at 30fps and up

BULL ****

i have a 9800gtx
and i cant even run it with those settings with 30fps
i can run 1920x1200 with a mix of high and very high with NO NO NO NO AA on and can get 28..............but i only get 26 with the settings you are talking about

i dislike when people tell me that i dont get the FPS that i do get at my settings........but in your case ****

theres no way in hell you are getting 30fps and up on that card

I think he's a little confused. He's only running high and DX9 as he's using XP, not Vista. In that case, his FPS are quite acheivable as I get around 45+ with those settings.

In windows XP an 8800GT could play crysis @ 1600x1200 all high and probably get ~20-30fps. Honestly, XP and dx9 crysis really isn't that demanding.

You can run actual DX9 graphics in Crysis, even if you're using Vista. DX10 is an optional setting. You will get much better performance in DX9, you just won't get some of the effects.

i'm sorry did anybody read the first post

he said he was also using 2xAA with those results

i agree that you can achieve those frames WITHOUT 2xAA on, but with it on you cant

i have a 9800gtx and i can get 25fps with 2xAA on with the same settings he has NOT **** 30

MAZIAR has the right numbers
with 2xAA on it destroys his FPS
i completely agree with his post

i play Crysis at 1920x1200 with a mix of high and very high with NO AA and achieve an average of 28FPS

either HYDER is full of **** or he has a 4000% overclock

raptorxt, OP is just guessing his framerates here, so I don't think he's claiming them as a fact.
I agree they can't be like that with 2xAA... hell, it doesn't run that well even with no AA at all on that card.

My 8800GT runs Crysis all high @1680*1050 and no AA, and what I get is 22-30 fps average. In the later stages of the game, framerate tends to drop below 22 quite a bit. With 2x AA applied, it's considerably less, averaging in the high teens.

mothhive, the Crysis benchmarks are off.
I get higher numbers in the benchmarks, but a real playthrough gives lower fps at the same settings.
Play the game and monitor the fps with FRAPS, and you'll see for yourself.

PS. Using XP here.

well, i must have stepped into an alternate universe where the 8800gt destroys the 9800gtx in all aspects

i cant even **** get 30fps at those settings

wait........i have an idea.........set the nvidia control panel antialiasing to 2x and override any application........because i use to have a problem on my 7950gt where when i turned AA on in game it would change back to NO aa

Crysis benchmarking tool

I have since downloaded Fraps and I get pretty much the same results in game as in the benchmark (bigger lows and slightly bigger highs in the benchmark though), but yes, I am using a 9800gtx. I thought the fact that I was running it with Vista (which I'm led to believe is a total resource hog and reduces performance considerably) and was getting at least 5fps over the 30 he mentioned would kinda even everything out and mean that an 8800GT could manage it if OC'd. I guess I was being a bit optimistic and I would obviously advise everyone to listen to trackman2010 as he actually has the 8800GT and XP.

Anyway, Hyder seems to be happy with the way it performs, so lets not bicker and argue over whose FPS beat whose. This is supposed to be a happy occasion!

oh yeah, and the crysis benchmark isnt that far off at all.........it says i get 28average.....and i tend to agree with it because that is about where my fps are at most times......yes core tends to drop them into very lows 20's (like 20 lol) and sometimes high teens (very rarely though) but overall it is around 28

the only place that it hit 12 was when you have to destroy the first power surge thing while you are floating in the alien spaceship
all the **** flies out into the room and there is like an electric fire and everything else causing my frames to drop considerably......it only lasted for like 5 seconds though.......it might be because i dont have a kickass processor like most of you guys

you know what, you are right
i shouldnt have gone off on you
you were only trying to agree with me

this sentence is what set me off "Are you even reading the posts?"
i thought you might be trolling for conflict because i was obviously reading the posts

i thought, at first, that mothhive did have an 8800gt because it sounded like he was defending the op's statement
thats the only reason i said "well, i must have stepped into an alternate universe where the 8800gt destroys the 9800gtx in all aspects"

Crysis is a very tricky game, so everyone who says u cant do this or that should first inform themselves.

Depending on settings, diretcx, OS, OC on gpu, cooling system on gpu, number of Cores, and its speed, Ram, their timings and FSB, Motherboard, and even HDD take its part in this game.

Ill give you my expirince, since i latly got new comp.

First i had: A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard, amd 64 bit 3200+, 2 GB 400MHZ OEM, and a Seagate baracuda 7.200 160 GB, 2X6600GT in SLI mode.

The settings: XP, DX9, Medium all, 1024*768. Lagged only on carreir intiriors (smoke was 2 much for 6600GTs).

Second comp: Asus Rampage Formula, q6600 no OC, 4gb ram 800mhz 4-4-4-12 Corsais XMS aluminium cooling, Samsung Spinpoint HD501J 500gb, 2x4850 in Crossfire.

The settings: Vista Sp1, DX10, all very high, no AA, 1600*1200. No lag at all, excepting virus updates, etc.

On the setitngs with 8800gt, or 9800gtx etc, dont forget to factor your other parts from the computer. one 8800GT, if oced and having a very powerfull backup, can run on dx9 high all 1680*1050 on up to 57 FPS and a minimum of 19. Besides dnt forget the 8800GT 2.0 PCI-e with some OC beats 8800 ULTRA in high resolutions.

STOP ARGUMENT ABOUT THE FPS PLZZ!!!.
8800GT is 75% the performance of a 9800GTX+ and 80% a 9800GTX almost.
so 30fps in 9800gtx= 25fps on 8800gt. blablablablabala.....is a Nice card.
I can buy a 8800GT "OEM" here by half the price of a 9800GTX and i was wondering.
¿What is wrong with the "OEM" version to be so cheap against a 9800gtx?

I think he's tellin porkies
