My Crysis Performance Review

[Deleted member 4644]

To everyone who says Crysis takes too much performance to run --

I have it running at 1920x1200, everything on High and it is running multiplayer WONDERFULLY on the rig in my sig (MINUS ONE 8800GT) -- running one card.

Yes, I have a nice rig, but its not uber. It can easily be recreated for about $1000 or less. So, that said, I plan to drop in my second GT, and really crank up the settings.

For the record, I tried DX9 vs DX10, and the 9 runs a bit better. Not sure which I will stick with.

A game like Crysis really helps fuel the industry. Even though I can only run it in medium settings*, I'm glad it's such a monster in terms of requirements, I think it's healthy overall.

* - By turning all in-game settings to low and selectively raising variables you can eek out a bit more graphical quality with the same hardware, by leaving less noticeable ones on low. I'm using a system.cfg I got from the incrysis tweak thread, I think it's around page 24, post by Cuban.
