Crysis 1.2 performance

[x2 3600 rules sazakky]

MY system specs are:
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ AM2 90nm running at 2.7GHz
Sapphire X1900xtx 512mb
A-DAta 2 gb 533MHz DDR-2 ram at 1066MHz
Asus M2N-E Nforce 570 Ultra

It runs at around 15-25 FPS at 1024*768 at low to medium settings. Will the 1.2 patch make much difference.

no not really. Crysis will eat up any modern video cards. GT200 is Crysis only hope.

Yes, I get around 40 FPS average with overclocked 512MB Crossfired HD 3870s paired up with a Q6600 OCed to 3.0Ghz on high settings at 1680x1050.

The 1.2 patch does increase performance a bit. For my 8800 Ultra the combination of it and new drivers has allowed me to go from 2xAA to 4xAA.

With your card YMMV but you should definitely install the patch anyway if for no other reason than bug fixes.

Your performance in crysis is a bit low for that card, when I had the GeCube X1950XT, I was able to play it at 1024x768 with everything on medium and was very playable, I even installed a mod that allowed to activate Very High Quality to some settings, everything was on high, except water, shader, and game effects that were on very high, and shadows on medium and it ran average at 27fps, barely playable though. You should check your videocard drivers, RAM timings or chipset driver.

i think the single core cpu may be the culprit here.

EDIT: 1.2 did make a noticable performance difference when i was playing crysis, was able to bump the resolution one notch to 1440x900 while keeping about the same perf as with the 1.1 patch.

Yeah, but I can play it at higher quality settings and get better performance and I have a single core CPU, we're not talking about Pentium 4 gaming performance, the Athlon 64 is a nice chip for gaming.

Crytek's engines aren't made to run games. They're made to make people go Oooooo, and/or brag about getting almost playable fps on their $2000 computer. Hell, farcry looks like ass and STILL runs slower than any game I own on Valves HL2 engine.

What is Crysis then?

yeah but your 3850 is quite a bit faster than the OP's x1900xtx, and the pentium M is slightly faster clock for clock too XD.

On highest settings???

No way. Most are on high except shadows on low. Motion blur is off too.

Crytek's engines looks better than any other engine, as long as you have a system capable of running them. If you think the HL2 engine looks good, you're obviously one of the people who shouldn't try to run either of the Crytek engines.

Oh, that's understandable.
