Crysis running at 2048 x 1536 @ 60fps on DirectX 10

[josh6079]

How can anyone resist a game that looks this good?

Some would argue that seeing the EA label on it gives them all the reason in the world to resist it.

I'll see just how buggy it turns out to be and wait for EA to show their dedication with fixing and supporting the game.

Since the majority of gamers play at lower resolutions of 1024X768 or 1600X1200, I guess it will run at 100 fps easily on Geforce 8800GTX

60 fps constant is enough to play a game on a computer, looking forward to Geforce 8600 series now

Me thoughts exactly.

Why? What's DX10 about when compared to DX9? Mainly performance optimizations.

hurry up ATi!

yeah I was just going to say, all the hints of Crysis are bursting the bubble that people should hold out for R600 to run it maxxed.

 

[StrangerGuy]

Count me in the skeptical list.

 

[imported_RedStar]

the same skeptic list as to the future of Core 2 Duo performance?

 

[Ackmed]

Im having serious doubts about this. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

 

[imported_RedStar]

Let's just hope we don't have to wait too long! Stop the delays grr

 

[Smartazz]

I think this is probobly for two reasons:
1. The 8800GTX is extremely powerful in DX10 mode
2. DX10 is truly that much better than DX9

Keep in mind that this game isn't even fully devoloped yet, I'm pretty sure the results could get even better.

 

[Pugnate]

Well don't be skeptical. I've read at a few sites that the rig was running a dual core processor and a single 8800GTX, so there.

What do you mean hit? The point is DX10 is looking like it'll blow DX9 away!

There is a small, assumed performance hit with Vista over XP because Vista is a much heftier system. Atleast that's what earlier tests a few months ago showed (the difference ranged from a few to 10 percent).

Although, I think the difference will commensurate greatly once we test with the final system. And would conclude, like Wrekage, that the performance hit will be minimal - based on the article.

The main push with DX10 is efficiency in the code. MS themselves said that you should expect performance increases for the same code in DX10 vs DX9.

I would like to know the minimum framerate there. There are a number of current games that perform well at most times but in which the framerate drops like a brick during fights. Hopefully Crysis won't be like that.

Yeah, I was foolish enough to believe those people.

It did mention

"Running on a fast (single core) Intel CPU and a single Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX board, the game ran smooth for the most part on an impressive 2048x1536 resolution, with some choppiness noticed when things got really busy on the screen. "

Actually that's true but only in DX9 performance. Running DX9 code in Vista will incurr in a 15% max performance hit, it can be less. Where Vista really shines is running DX10. After all DX10 is just DX9 with far better efficiency. DX9 is infinitely scalable, but it's performance due to the WDM overhead struggles it. DX10 will benefit greatly of the new Driver Model and for sure, will offer better graphics with more performance.

And I guess you think dual core gives a FPS boost at that res?

They claim, "the game ran smooth for the most part on an impressive 2048x1536 resolution". Smooth for some people is 25fps, for others its 70.

This is all based on rumors, and speculation. They think it was a high res, because the huds were small. Again, Ill believe it when I see it. I have serious doubts Crysis is running at 60fps average at 2048x1536 right now, or anywhere close.

The thing that really sucks is that we will have to buy Vista to get Crysis to play in DX10 mode.

MS is using DX10 to goat more users into "upgrading" to Vista.

And it will work. I might buy Vista now that I have a DX10 card.

Vista is a great operating system, on fast systems its feels like 10x faster than XP and it has tons of great featires.

Yeah, if DX10 turns out to be all that it has been hyped as, I will most likely do the same. I just got Company of Heroes which is suppose be getting a DX10 patch.

OMG MY 2x 8800GTX , Intel Core 2 Duo 6600 @ 3.8Ghz will run Crysis on my old Mitsubishi 22" monitor at full res. Now i want to buy a 30" LCD.

 

[WhoBeDaPlaya]

So long as I can set-and-forget @ 1280x1024 on my 3.3GHz E6400 X1900XT (512MB) rig for about another 1.5 years, I'll be happy

 

[Zenoth]

Hold on guys ...

"Unknown Core 2 processor" that it was running on ? What was it, for it to run at 60 FPS at such resolution ? Quad-Core maybe ? Don't put all your hopes in the GPU being the only element causing such a performance, it might as well be because it's combined with a great processor. I doubt anyone running a Single-Core will see the same results. I might be wrong, and I do hope I am, but Crysis hasn't been advertised for its beautiful graphics only, but also because it supports Multi-Core CPU's, don't forget that one guys.

 

[josh6079]

I have serious doubts Crysis is running at 60fps average at 2048x1536 right now, or anywhere close.

Why?

They said it ran 60fps average at 2048x1536 but didn't say that it ran like that with max IQ. When they commented on the max IQ settings, they said:

This proves that any current DX10 rig will run Crysis perfectly smooth with all graphical settings max at a resolution of atleast 1600x1200.

My guess is that even if the resolution was 2048x1536, I doubt the IQ was maxed out at the same time.

If so, god that's nice!!
