Is This Right ?

Ok so i've been playing Crysis 3 for a little bit now and was wondering if my FPS seems weird to you. On MP i get 70-85 FPs with dips in the 60s at High details and FXAA. I have a HD 7870 1200/1450 at 1080p. I would have thought my FPS would be alot lower then this.

turn on 2xsmaa or 2xmsaa with 16xaa or 4xmsaa and see what your frames look like

and put settings on very high but nah try 2xsmaa or msaa n see wha happens.... on my 7950 with max settings 16xaa ans 2xsmaa i get 50-70 on avg depending on map with bursts of 80-83 this game is so demanding i do dip into the 39-45 region sometimes...

does seems high i guess.....prolly settings have alot to do with it

plus you have a lovely amd/ati rig prolly has alot to do with it amd is my jam....lol

Hey, if you want to see your FPS drop, Very High settings with 8xMSAA are sitting there waiting for you. :whiste:

lol ya 8xmsaa is pretty hardcore

at very high settings w/ FXAA

Max: 62 FPS
Min:43
AVG: 54

The game really isn't as demanding as some people make it seem. It's really just that stupid first level that brings down framerates.

Also, a 7870 is quite a capable card... people like to glorify the higher end cards but quite honestly, for ALL games at 1080p at reasonable settings, the 660/7870 is good enough. The 7870 more so when you've got it at those clocks.

Thx also i see you have an HD 7950. Do you mind comparing our two cards at the same clocks to see how much of a performance difference there is

Well, I can't get mine up to 1200/1450 so you'll have to tune it down. Also I don't think Crysis 3 has a benchmark, IIRC... I just remember I was hitting 60 fps most of the time with everything maxed out, 2x SSAA.

If you really want I can run a benchmark of your choice. Although there's already a lot of them in the Unigine threads!

we can run

Uniengine Heaven
Uniengine Valley
3DMark 11
3DMark 2013


and some of your choice

Well, I'm on a fresh reformat so I don't have much, but I installed the latest Valley and ran it at Extreme HD settings:

Sounds about right... I actually lied a bit, I'm running on 1125/1500 as opposed to 1100/1500 (as listed in my sig), but that should only account for half a frame or so.

At clock for clock, the 7870 should be doing at least 70% of what a 7950 can. I think good price for value ends with the 660/7870 tier, but people don't like to think so.
