Someone made that up. I run the game on High and get 30fps. That's so much BS.

They also don't tell you any specs.

1920x1200, 'High', 16xAF (HQ, via CP), 4xAA (via game) = ~27-30 fps typically (according to fraps).

C2D X6800 @ 2.93ghz
8800 Ultra (EVGA superclocked - 655/1660/2250)
2GB RAM
XP Pro 32-bit
163.71 drivers

looks absolutely stunning, and despite the fairly low fps, it pretty fluid, certainly playable for me.

16x10 ... all details "High" ... no AA/AF ... mid-20s courtesy of FRAPS ... lowest FPS drops to the high teens under firefight while moving and spinning around
--and buggy as hell for AMD cards ... at least mine - the mouse doesn't match the menus :p

Looks like BS...the preliminary benchmarks I saw when the demo first came out was 27fps average for the 8800GTX on high with QX6850.

No way they somehow more than doubled performance this quick, lol. I think someone confused Crysis with UT3.

the demo came out yesterday ... or Thursday. :p
--perhaps you are thinking of MP?

it runs "fair" to poor on my system ... :(
... but then i like 30FPS as a minimum ... i think i would bring out my CRT at 11x8 if i really wanted to play it ... now. AMD really needs a hotfix for 2900xt and Crysis imo.

Lol, I get under 30fps (closer to 20) at 1280x900 with very high details with the comp in my sig. Looks like an upgrade is definitely needed to play with the eye candy. I read some interview where Cervat Yerli said quad core is better than higher speed dual core for Crysis...maybe I'm CPU limited.

As it stands it's unplayable for me.

It the best cards can't even play it with decent settings, what about all of us with last gen stuff?

according to Yerli, your QC is more important than your GPU

http://www.shacknews.com/featuredarticle.x?id=639
Multi-core will be beneficial in the experience, particularly in faster but also smoother framerates. 64-bit and higher memory will yield quicker loading times. We recommend quad core over higher clock.

Shack: What is the main limiter for Crysis in terms of GPU, CPU, or RAM? If users are near the low end of the requirements, which should they upgrade first?

Cevat Yerli: We would say first CPU, then GPU, then memory. But it must be in balance. If you are balanced, we are more CPU bound then GPU, but at the same time at higher CPU configurations we scale very well for GPUs.

I'm Pretty sure thats ultrahigh because high is not even dx10

Nah, 'Very High' is greyed out (presumably Vista/DX10 only).

The 8800GT they used was the 660/1900/1650 OC variant. There's the 600/1800/1500 stock, and the 700/2000/1750 OC2 as well. The OC here managed to be 93% as fast as the GTX. The OC2 variant would be insane for its price, we'd be talking about 50% the price of the GTX for 95% the performance in shader heavy games.

The low bandwidth is a bummer, but you can't have everything for $230-250 =)

Specs:
Duo E6850 3.0Ghz
2GB RAM
8800GTX

Runs well at 800x600.

I have a 24" LCD, not a very enjoyable experience running at this resolution. Even at this res the game does not look that great, apart from the intro sequence. But its all set at bloody night.

Anyway i won't buy this, not untill my next GPU upgrade.

It says that 1920x1200 was not available for ATI cards.... anyone know why that is? It's a bug or just won't be offered?

I hope someone does some CPU testing as well.

You are playing at 800x600 with an 8800GTX? =P

Hey any guess how much FPS i would get 1280X1024or 1024X768 at very high ??? will it be even playable on this res on my rig :( ?

My rig :

E4300 @ 2.8
8800GTS 320mb at (610/1050)
2GB DDR2 667 Corsair

At very high...probably not...my GTS is struggling at 1280x900 on very high settings as well...less than 30fps.

To anyone with a quadcore, could you do some CPU core scaling tests??? There IS a way of turning off some of the cores right? (I think there is)

But I can't guarantee this to be true. It's possible that Very High uses extremely large textures. If that's the case you can basically give up playing Very High altogether on the 320MB GTS.

We need a whole new generation of new cards to play Crysis properly even on medium resolutions.

I bet you all the top end cards drop to 30fps or lower once you set it up to "very high quality".
