Things will improve. Second, 8800 SLI in anything is really bad right now.

Fixed.

Sorry, but when I pay as much as two G80's cost, I'd like to use AA levels that are higher than what the single cards offer.

Yeah, nVidia is severely slacking in drivers. Oh, and for higher AA levels, use nHancer, right? It allows higher than my nV CP does. And i'm running a single 7950GT.
 
i saw the game running on a single X1900XT at 06 GDC. It was running pretty smooth. I think its something to do the nvidia vista drivers which are buggy , unstable and don't perform as the XP drivers do.

Doesn't work. Upload it to Imageshack.

That image is not in game. Notice the purple fringing in the upper right corner. Now don't tell me that dx10 games will emulate lens specific chromatic aberrations. That's bull.

OMg lol this can't be in game. If it was theres no need to get out of the house anymore 🙂

Hmmm, the decision to stick with AGP for awhile longer seems like a good plan now. 🙂

36.8 FPS avg at 1280x1024 on 8800GTX SLI makes the decision to buy my Xbox360 + 50" HDTV look like the decision of a lifetime.

IF the benchmarks were true. :disgust:
 
Well, this is all early yet. Remember the leaked Doom Alpha that ran like a dog even on a 9700Pro, which was the "new on the streets" primo graphics card at the time?

Than again, I'd have to say it's sad that I do own a 8800GTX, but don't find myself playing many games these days. Of the ones I do play on occasion, they all run great on older hardware anyway.

This game isn't even in Alpha! IF these were real benchmarks, I'd actually be moderately impressed that the game was being rendered this quickly through brute-force rendering. And that's without SLI support. :Q

Few flaws in the "benches":

1: SLI is currently not usable in Vista
2: PhysX is not supported by Crysis (it has a track record of lowering fps anyway)

So i'm gonna say shens.
Click to expand...

yup, I was watching an interview and they stated that teh game does NOT support physics cards. Also...the vista SLi is impossible at this point. Also, they are using 4 gigs of ram, which would decrease the performance by roughly 5% becuase of 4 sticks instead of two. Other than that, may god have mercy on us all...this game looks like the next oblivion as far as eye candy goes & performance.

Lets hope they don't do a "Oblivion" & strip out some IQ in favor of more performance then. They should leave that to us to decide 😉.

I have 8800GTS SLi myself and I can only use 1 of the cards in Vista (which sucks). Still gonna need both of them for 20x15 in Crysis I reckon.

No Crysis for me any time soon then 🙁

Surely there will be some improvements though - it's not often you get a game that the best graphics card out can't run well.

Trespasser is one of the most infamous I believe, but that was YEARS ago. That game didn't run well on anything less than a Cray when it came out, and barely managed to run acceptably 5 years later. 😛
 
The links here to teh screenshots said "un-authorized referer". In any case, I went to gamershell to see screenshots and although they are somewhat impressive, I find games still look cartoonish. I just hope UT2007, now named UT3 will be better. Of course, I don't want to upgrade my CPU and RAM now, just my video card so I hope the next ATIs will make the grade. 🙂

Are you kidding? Crysis looks way better then UT3. If anything looks cartoony, its UT3. :disgust:
 
yeah, i was gonna say... at CES, i thought they were running at 2048x1536 or something like that with only a few bumps
 
I suspect the demo's everyone has seen were DX9 on XP. DX10 on vista is bound to be buggy and unoptimised both for nvidia drivers (even without SLi), MS code for DX10, and the DX10 path in crysis (they will have been working more on the DX9 path for the demos). Come back in 6 months once it's all fixed up and I'm sure the benches will be quite different.

Maybe the game being delayed is a good thing, because the current top of the line videocard is barely good enough.

to a certain extent, this was the same scenario with FEAR...but the next-gen (or even next revision cards) solved all that....so this would not be completely unexpected.

Definitely. It's still going to be quite demanding, but nothing horrid. When Far Cry came out, one had to have the best video card on the market to play it at 16x12. Only overclocking high-end components would allow 16x12 with AA/AF. To me, that's fine, it was a great game even though it pushed the limits of then-current hardware. There's not enough of those games IMO.

Hmm why the hell do they test 1024x768, 1280x1024 and suddenly go to 2560 skipping 1600 etc? weird to say the least.. anyway thats bullshit.. either that or the 8800 is another nv30 😛 (nv30 was great at dx8 and sucked at dx9)

Dramatic effect.

btw I think everybody else has already discussed the problems with this test.

Vista
Driver maturity
Game maturity ect ect
