nVidia Fermi recomended for Crysis 2 Engine game

[tweakboy]

The first Crysis 2 ingame screenshots

Then youll see why in a twit it was said its optimized for nVidia Fermi

As you can see the graphics are nice and thick and amazing. I wonder if this is a DX11 shot .

I thought I was going to see why it's optimized for Fermi???

 

[happy medium]

Heres some real news...

Crytek to Showcase CryEngine 3 Stereoscopic 3D at GDC 2010

Crysis 2 to have Lower System Requirements and Better Graphics than Crysis

Seems Nvidia 's got ahold of this title already.

Edit: Yea I thought the same .Where is the info on Fermi Tweakboy?
At least link the twit.

Seems like Nvidia nabs damn near all of these kind of games. It's going to make people buy their cards, though, which is what they're aiming for.

Well these are the types of games I play,and if they play better on Nvidia hardware I'm in.

I loved Crysis (Warhead especially). I can't wait for this game.
I just hope it isn't so short like MW2 and Bad company 2. I finished them in 2 days.

Well those 2 games are multiplayer games with singleplay thrown in after.

so standard practice to recommend Fermi now for all future TWIWMTBP titles?

 

[Dorkenstein]

I'm dying for an excuse to get back to an Nvidia product. But either A or B will happen. A) The new cards won't be as good as a 58XX whatever or B) They'll be totally awesome and I won't be able to find one in stock for a year.

I'd go with C) Will I be able to afford it?

So, please explain how this game was optomized to run on Fermi since no working Fermi cards were available to the game developers during the game's creation?

 

[SlowSpyder]

Nvidia has great marketing, you have to give them that much. But it seems almost that they're doing more to market their currently non-existent product than get it out the door.

You forget about renaming again. But hey at least they're consistent and keep doing it.

Well if the Crytec 3 engine is optimized for Stereoscopic 3D , it should be Nvidia's baby.

http://www.nvidia.com/object/3D_Vision_Main.html

They are the ones pushing 3d gaming right?
Games like this is what puts new technology on the map.

If the Crytec 3 engine is optimized for Stereoscopic 3D ,Physx, and Tessalation, it could be a big win for Nvidia.

I'm just guessing.

 

[Phil1977]

Well when you start Crysis it comes up with a Nvidia animation

 

[Meghan54]

Tessalation isn't an nvidia exclusive. In fact, you could say nvidia is late to that.

 

[nitromullet]

This shouldn't be a surprise... Crytek and NVIDIA go way back.

But the latest news (rumors) says Fermi does it better.

 

[ZimZum]

But the latest news (rumors) says Fermi does it better.

In synthetic benchmarks maybe. In a real game setting where nV cant devote the bulk of its resources to tesselation, not so much.

The tesselation in the DX11 spec is based on ATI's Truform. Which their cards have been capable of since like 2001.

Yup, TWIMTBP is a success for NVIDIA.

The tight relationships with developers is also why NVIDIA needs less "hotfixes" than AMD.

NVIDIA tessalation happens in the PolyMorph engine, not it's shaders cores...whats is your point?
Especially since the lastest video show Fermi beating the Evergreens in tessalation?

Didn't Unigine work with ATI on the development of Heaven, yet (according to NVIDIA) the GTX 480 tops the 5870?

Also, it's not exactly as if tesselation is the only thing going on in Heaven. I'm not sure if you've run the bench yourself, but it's still pretty resource intensive with tesselation disabled.

Here are the screen caps from the runs I did when I had a 5870. The FPS are shown top-right.

DX11/tesselation (1024x768):

DX11/no tesselation (1024x768):

You can see the fps are certainly higher without tesselation, but they aren't exactly through the roof considering the low res of the bench (which I did for better quality/smaller sized screen shots).

"Its certainly not software and there certainly is dedicated tessellation hardware beyond just the HULL/Shader routines."

Fermi will have dedicated hardware for Tessalation....
