7800gtx won't play crysis?

[Modelworks]

Actually turning the shaders to low doesn't look bad at all.
I also have the natural lighting mod installed.

When I turned the shaders on low the game looked even worse then Farcry. Maybe that mod you use makes some difference.

Yeah same here. When you set shader to low it looks lot less detailed especially the rocks and trees..

It doesn't have a fluent frame rate on highest settings?

I never tried it on highest settings. Maybe when I play it again I'll try that.

Only high shaders have HDR rendering and only high post processing has Edge AA both which drastically change the appearance of the game.

Anyways, Crysis is a pretty fun shooter, with out without the fancy graphics.

have you played through call of duty 4 for PC yet? It was about twice as entertaining than crysis was for me. I used to be all about crysis too, but was completely wrong.

I have played it and it's pretty fun as well, but CoD4 being better than Crysis doesn't really speak of Crysis' being bad but rather it says a lot about the quality of CoD4.

Crysis is more geared towards singleplayer, the single player campaign can be played over and over and it doesn't feel as repetitive, also there is a better mod community out there for Crysis.

CoD4 has an intense single player which is loads of fun as well but it's too short, the game really shines in multiplayer.

So yeah for a person without an online gaming capable internet connection I would recommend Crysis a thousand times more than CoD4, once you factor in online multiplayer though... it's a though choice.

that sounded like me last october. having played both through single player from start to finish 2 or 3 times over, i would never recommend crysis over cod4. Yet from 2006 to Nov 2007 all I did was yap about crysis.

If you've played through both single players, how did you find crysis to be more fun? Cod4 single player is all im talking about, i don't even play the multiplayer. Cod4 singleplayer rocks crysis singleplayer any day of the week.

That doesn't look anything like farcry.

You can make the game playable and look good if you know what settings to tweak.

The 7800GTX was a fantastically fast card when it got released. It was passed up rather quickly though, and Crysis kills most any PC. You can get a card many times faster for $200 or less. 3870 or 9600GT would run it much faster.

With 8800 GT SLI, the game was 'playable' @1280x768 with Very High (DX10) setting default. It might actually get 'enjoyable' if all available tweaks are applied.
