280 gtx slow fps in Crysis..

[LittleNemoNES]

I don't understand what people are doing to have the game run so poorly.
Maybe he has vsync on AND his card is overheating.

Up until the cave level I run @ about 35-40 fps average and very often it runs @ 45-60 fps.
After that I get 30-40fps and no more than 50.
I should upload a video because I don't understand why people are getting such horrible performance.

Big tip: disable motion blur and AA.

Why u laughing? u smell of ASS

I run at 1920x1200, 8xAF, at the rate this cards going u can forget about AA

probably because your orignal post didn't include what resolution or what detail you are playing it at....then you claim you read reviews and still expect 50FPS. Please show me a review that pegs the GTX 280 with 50FPS at a resolution of 1920x1200 in Crysis.

Also your reasoning for expecting 50FPS just because you got 27FPS with the HD4870, is extremely flawed. I haven't seen a single review that would suggest the GTX 280 is nearly twice as fast as the HD4870. Secondly why in the world would you base your expectations on how the GTX 280 should perform on reviews of the HD4870? If you wanted to predict how your GTS 280 performed, perhaps you should have been reading GTX 280 reviews, not making assumptions about its performace based solely on the fact that it is faster than the HD4870 and rounding up FPS scores accordingly.

Look at the anandtech review of the GTX 280, they show it got ~34 FPS in Crysis at 1920x1200 and their test system has a faster procesor than you and twice as much RAM as you, so really you should be very happy that you are getting a playable 30+FPS from a single card solution.

Stop trying to troll? It's real funny to see a troll say that when he likes to do name calling and laughing out loud at another member

I did look at the anandtech and hardocp review of the 280, my 4850/4870 does about 27/33fps in Crysis, I just hoped it could've break 40~50

Nothing in the rules says I can't laugh. Sure, I did call you a "moron" but only after you started flaming me. The thing is, your whole post is just flame bait and could very well be considering trolling just due to the fact your pissing and moaning about something completely out of our hands and that is already known(and that's crysis is poorly optimized and no single card on the market breaks 50FPS average). I still don't know why you would think you could have got 50FPS despite knowing beforehand it would never happen. Just because it didn't live up to your assumption(why you assumed you would have <50FPS when you already knew it wouldn't is beyond me) doesn't mean somethings wrong.

 

[SlowSpyder]

Maybe a 4870x2? Not sure why people like that game in the first place though. It's almost like it's artificially held back or something. The graphics look good, but not so good that it's performance with modern cards is what it is, in my opinion.

Nothing in the rules says I can't call u an ass when u laugh out loud at me, and u only assume I was pissin and moaning, I just hoped for 50fps in crysis nothing more, the card runs UT3 @ 1920x1200 with 4xtraa/16af, and it oced to 700/1500/1250 no problems so for a $310 card I could careless atm

If you did look at the reviews. Where did the reviews give you the expectations to run >=50FPS with a Single GTX 280 @ 1920x1200?

Clearly your expectations was off. I'm just curious why they were off as you claim to have done your research by looking at reviews and so on.

http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3341&p=13 4850 @ 1920 is 24fps, 280 gtx @ 1920 is 34fps, considering I have a 4850 that does 27, my 280oc should at least be doing 40

 

[chizow]

What settings are you running? I get 44 FPS in CBT with High settings 64-bit DX10 @1920x0AAx16AF (Very High textures as it has no performance hit). In-game I get better than that typically. If anything I'd look at a faster CPU. Crysis isn't coded well for multi-threads but it does like faster CPUs.

Also, you would be wrong it is in the rules, it's considered flaming. I don't take this shit to heart though, so it doesn't really bother me.

As far as the pissing and moaning... that's because you were, you assumed something was wrong because it wasn't getting 50FPS in Crysis. When it wasn't and you feel the card wasn't worth the money now.

That's slightly incorrect too, AT's review rig out-powers yours so even your expectation there would be wrong. GT200b isn't gonna break 40 FPS in Crysis when it launches either. In fact I don't even see why you would consider it or a 4870; you must be made of money. Sure do like wasting it so often.

Like I said before too, your budget processor isn't helping either...

There is no logic whatsoever in any of that post.

Why are you basing your expectations of how the GTX 280 should perform, on how the HD4850 performs?

You even posted the information from a review in your post and them come to some wild conclusion that isn't supported by the information.

Apparently you assume that since you got 3 more FPS, with your HD4850 than Anandtech did, that you should somehow get 6-16 more FPS than they did with the GTX 280?

ROFL.
I keep coming back because your quite a funny guy and your logic makes perfect sense.

//Obvious sarcasm.

Get a job? Okay, done and done. Anything else? Go to school and get an education? Okay, done too; I'm already in college. Got another suggestion?

In all seriousness yes, you must be made of money. You already spent' ~$200 on a 4850, then spent another ~350 on a GTX280. Now your considering to spend another $~300+ on GT200b or 4870.

It ain't wild conclusion, apparently ur just not smart enough to see what I'm saying, in the anandtech review the card shows a 10fps lead over the 4850, but my 280 gtx OC is only doing about a 5fps lead over my 4850, this isn't normal considering it is an oc card

...in a canned demo. Canned demos can differ from in-game play.

http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/...w3LCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==
OC'd GTX 280 @ averages 29FPS. (with 16xAF).

They use in-game play.

Your also forgetting that AT's rig uses a QX9770 @ 3.2Ghz. which does play a factor.

apparently u didn't read properly, earlier in my post, I said was gonna sell the 280 gtx soon and then hold out for 55nm nVidias or cheap 4870

I've only spent $310 for the 280 and $160 for the 4850, so don't assume anything

You apparently can't even get straight whether you have a 4850 or a 4870, you have changed your story several times throughout this thread.

Even using your flawed logic...considering that the anandtech GTX 280 got 10 FPS more than their HD4850, but you expect your GTX 280 to get 13-23 more FPS than your HD4850, perhaps just because you have an OCed GTX 280. You have absolutely no basis for all of these assumptions you are making.

Considering that your results are very close to inline with anandtech's results, I really don't understand what you are getting at. When you start throwing in factors like a slower processor or less memory, then you simply cannot compare results. Maybe you just don't understand that when it comes to hardware perfomance, that just because one hardware setup has one set or performance numbers, that you are not always going to be able to replicate those numbers, or the performance difference between two sets of hardware on another computer. In the end, the point of this story, is that your computer's actual results are NOT far off of what Anandtech's results were.

I predict your time on anandtech will be short and full if ridicule of you continue your current posting trend.

No point in talking with a troll with nothing to back up his words. I'm done with you

No one cares about ur prediction, ur talking as if ur the anandtech mod when you are not.

Might be off topic here but, if I want x16 AF do I have to force it through control panel for every game I play? Most games I play have an in game AA setting but I never see an AF setting.... except on HL2

 

[Sentry2]

I hate it when people say just because you buy something that you are made of money. At least he didn't go buy a QX9770 and leave it @ 3.2GHz or something.


Sounds about right for a GTX280.

Overclocking in Crysis with a GTX280 for me didn't give much of a return...
GTX 280 w/ ~32% OC(792MHz) only got me around a 15% boost in fps(sometimes higher).

What I've learned:

1. Crysis doesn't like you(and me)
2. My GX2 was faster for ^
3. Crossfire and Crysis don't like each other

Solutions....

1. Buy a second 280 @ the price you paid :thumbsup:
2. Stop playing Crysis :frown:
3. Wait for Far Cry 2

Things not to do....

1. Buy a 4870X2 to play Crysis



Great deal you got on that card though. I had one when they came out. Wasn't worth the $$. It's worth what you paid though that's for sure. I wouldn't worry too much about your processor either. If it bugs you that much I'd just pick up another 280 when you can...like Apoppin said.

Good luck man. :beer:

go into global settings and select anistrophic filtering set it to 16xAF, if ur wondering why it doesn't work for crysis it might be because u have parralax occlusion mapping turned on

I've tested with slightly diff drivers and oced it even more 730/1530/1250 fan set to 100, I'm now seeing a major improvement, my 4850 did 25fps in 1 part of the game, now it does around 38~40 and it doesn't choke as much.

Turns out I don't need to up my cpu yet.

I've seen a video of microstutering of gx2 vs a single 280 on tube, I'm glad I didn't went with the SLis

I have had AF set to application controlled in nvidia control panel. So basically that means I've been playing games with no AF all this time?

 

[yusux]

depends on if ur game chooses to have AF or not

where did you find a gtx280 for $310? Show me links. Every place is $430+ (before rebate).

If you sell it for $310 and can provide proof that you own the card it will sell in a flash.

I've seen a video of microstutering of gx2 vs a single 280 on tube, I'm glad I didn't went with the SLis

fan at 100 :laugh:

I never expected a super card, I only said I was hoping for 50fps especially with the newer drivers.

Stop trying to troll? It's real funny to see a troll say that when he likes to do name calling and laughing out loud at another member

I did look at the anandtech and hardocp review of the 280, my 4850/4870 does about 27/33fps in Crysis, I just hoped it could've break 40~50

Nothing in the rules says I can't laugh. Sure, I did call you a "moron" but only after you started flaming me. The thing is, your whole post is just flame bait and could very well be considering trolling just due to the fact your pissing and moaning about something completely out of our hands and that is already known(and that's crysis is poorly optimized and no single card on the market breaks 50FPS average). I still don't know why you would think you could have got 50FPS despite knowing beforehand it would never happen. Just because it didn't live up to your assumption doesn't mean somethings wrong.

Nothing in the rules says I can't call u an ass when u laugh out loud at me, and u only assume I was pissin and moaning, I just hoped for 50fps in crysis nothing more, the card runs UT3 @ 1920x1200 with 4xtraa/16af, and it oced to 700/1500/1250 no problems so for a $310 card I could careless atm

Also, you would be wrong it is in the rules, it's considered flaming. I don't take this shit to heart though, so it doesn't really bother me.

As far as the pissing and moaning... that's because you were, you assumed something was wrong because it wasn't getting 50FPS in Crysis. When it wasn't and you feel the card wasn't worth the money now.

That's slightly incorrect too, AT's review rig out-powers yours so even your expectation there would be wrong. GT200b isn't gonna break 40 FPS in Crysis when it launches either. In fact I don't even see why you would consider it or a 4870; you must be made of money. Sure do like wasting it so often.

Like I said before too, your budget processor isn't helping either...

Funny if u don't take it to heart why come back here again and again


Just because I can afford a $310 gf280 that means I like to waste money and am made of money? :roll: seriously get a job loser

where did you find a gtx280 for $310? Show me links. Every place is $430+ (before rebate).

If you sell it for $310 and can provide proof that you own the card it will sell in a flash.
