Not one lock-up on the game either. I will definitely be buying this when it hits the stores.

Are you using the 169.01's? I can't imagine my CPU being that much a bottleneck on GPU-intensive tasks that you'd be able to run the game at settings that much higher than my own :x.

This game does make use of quad core CPUs so if you're using Dual Core there would be a slight difference. I did read that the demo only makes limited usage of multicore processors, but I do notice quad core systems running the game with higher performance than mine given the same clock speeds.

I am using the 163.69's

I am not saying it runs at 60 fps and is butter smooth - but I played through the whole demo with those settings and it was definitely playable for me.

As soon as I turn on AA though, it becomes choppy. But I am not picky, AA is not a big deal to me at all.

I still laugh at people who say the game runs at 60fps just because it's smooth feeling to them. Usually those who really are uninformed in the hardware area. Typically it goes like this "The game runs easily on my computer which is a X2 4200+ with 2GB memory and a 8800GTS 320MB card. I get 60fps."

They never ran fraps to check, never did the benchmarks to check. They just assume that smooth = 60fps. I laugh.

I know you didn't say that, but my point is this. Games can be smooth and feel fine to play and not run much above 30fps. It just depends on the game. I would never try to play Quake 4 or F.E.A.R like that. Those are more of a twitch action game. Crysis is a little slower paced (if you choose to play it like that). Lots of sneaking around and being careful not to alert the enemy. Also the graphic quality of the game distracts you from the performance which is usually not really super high.

I'm downloading the demo now. I'm just gonna go straight to 1280x800. My monitor scales that resolution pretty good, so hopefully I'll get to play it in DX10 mode.

Probably not really playable with everything on very high. I can barely get a solid 20fps with everything on very high at 1280x1024

you want DX10 and OK FPS with a 2900xt with everything set to "very high"?
- try 800x600 - you will get mid-high teens
---at 16x10 i got almost 11 FPS ...
----no AA


Crysis would be like Stalker in that is is quite playable with a minimum FPS of 30
... i would need 3 x 2900xt for DX10 @16x10
:Q

Oh yeah, I agree. Games like Unreal Tournament or Quake as you mentioned cannot be played like that IMO. But as far as this demo goes, the framerate I was getting was just fine for me, even when driving or in firefights.

And I should clarify, I'm talking it's not playable, feels like 10-15 fps max sometimes :x.

Actually, I just tried 1024x768 DX10 very high and got about 20fps average. Not bad.

 

[Matt2]

Just tried the demo.

For some reason FRAPS wasn't working for me in the demo.

Based on the gameplay, I'd say 1024x768 0x/0x AA/AF, everything set to high was running about 15 fps.

1920x1200 0x/0x AA/AF, everything set to high was running at about 5 fps.

I quit and didn't even play through the whole demo. Maybe by the time we get hardware to run this game decently, it'll be a bargain bin game.

 

[swtethan]

im getting 200fps constant here on everything maxed out.
































at 256x96 res lol jk jk

 

[lavaheadache]

Ok guys, I've spent the better part of the last 3 hours playing the demo and running the benchies on my 2 rigs.

the gts 320 running on all high settings(dx9 winxp) @1440x900 was very playable and average 26fpsish 23fps if I used 2xAA.

the GTX was running all settings on very high (dx10) @1680x1050 no AA just about 30FPS

Side by side because my computers are at the same desk with the 19 inch mounted on the wall next to the 24 I can honestly say that the DX10 version looks far nicer than the dx9 version. Its hard to tell if your just switching between the modes but side by side the dx10 version is way more life-like.

I'm very sensitive to low frame rates and such but I will admit that crysis is much like oblivion in the sense that the game can get away with fps @30 and be completely enjoyable

By the way if you guys are wondering why I have 2 rigs together like this it's cause Sometimes I like to game while I'm cruising the forums and just having dual monitors is never good enough. Dual rigs is far better.

 

[MichaelD]

Did I read correctly that Crysis does NOT make use of multi-core processors? I thought that was one of the selling points of this game...the SMP capability.

I have not played the demo, though I've got the game on preorder.

I wonder what it'll be like with a 3.2GHz C2D and a 8800GT....at 1920x1200? Slideshow, most probably. I could always lower the res. Does the benchmark have a built-in FPS counter?

 

[Dkcode]

To view your FPS in game type 'r_displayinfo 1' into the console.

I have read the demo does not make proper use of multi core CPUS also. The full version should do however and this may be the reason performance is pretty crap.

Fingers crossed the final version will be optimized, another 10 - 15 FPS more should do it.

Thanks, Dkcode. I think it's pretty dumb of them to release a demo that does not play/operate the same way that the retail version will. There's a big diff b/t a multi-core aware app and a non-aware app.

Afterall, wouldn't you want the potential purchasers of the game to be as enthralled and into the game as possible? I don't get it.

 

[Dkcode]

Me neither. The hardcore bunch will buy the game and spend a lot of time tweaking it to perform optimally. But if i was a casual player with limited knowledge, i would be put off by the performance for sure.

Lets pray to the gaming gods and hope they tweak it for release.

 

[VERTIGGO]

I've been running at my full res of 2560x1600 and it gets 20 or so (in most games I need over 30 for smoothness) but it's surprisingly smooth for that rate. I find it more important to have a hi res because of the distance details you can pick out over chunkier resolutions. However, I have to run med settings on all but water on ultra (hack), physics, and post processing. oh and x8 AF.

This produces a more Far Cryish scene as far as lighting and foliage style, but like I said I'm happier with a hi res until I can check out the next generation, and probably get crossfire... or switch to SLI... $ow$

Ultra..?! You mean "Very High", right?

i get 38 fps avg for crysis demo 800x600 all low settings

Vista 64
2GB
X2 3800

You are proud of that low resolution at low settings? I couldn't deal anything less than 1024x768. @ 800x600 it looks too pixelated and awful.

Vistax86 vs Vista 64 and XP vs xp64 tested.

Vista 64 is slower. Crytek team lied to us.

 

[GeneralOreo]

Sorry I didn't read this entire thread, so this maybe have been mentioned, but is it true that the demo is single threaded?

What this would mean is that it's not a good indication of how the final game will run on dual core PCs.

I might still have hope of running it on all settings maximized.
