Crytek have said Crysis 3 would melt enthusiast's PC's. I played 2/3 hours and it's beautiful, if linear. Apart from weird opening stages (dropped to 20-30fps) I can enable 4xMSAA and max everything else and roll between 40-65fps at 1920/1200. Overall I am happy (7 out of 10) but I would love to see what 8xSSAA would bring. Also I get slight motion sickness after an hour or two which I doubt I'd experience at 100fps.
What would you give your rig out of 10?

Using a single GTX660 right now and have the spec set to high. SMAA 1x low and it looks beautiful. never drops below 30fps and hangs mostly in the mid 40's. Cool game.
EDIT: 1920x1200

Are you kidding me. your obviously trolling

I run 2560x1440 VHQ, Medium SMAA.

It's very playable, but chops a bit outdoors sometimes.

I tried it on High but didn't notice an appreciable difference in performance so I went back to Very High. The game looks awesome.

My 680 boosts at around 1200mhz.
 
On a scale of 31.7 i'd say 26.1.
Got all on High, FXAA, Vsync ON at 1080p. Smooth as smooth can be with some hiccups/rubber banding here and there.

Game is gorgeous.
 
8.5/10

- 2560x1440, FXAA, everything VHQ except for shaders and shadows set to high. My range of frame rates has been 25-50 with these settings. This is best looking game I've ever seen, and to have it be very playable nearly maxed out a high resolution without having to spend $1000 on Titan makes me very happy. 🙂
 
I'm just wondering how much more performance can be extracted from driver updates. Even if this is an AMD Gaming Evolved title, there are always tweaks to be made.
 
I'm very pleased with the performance. My card is a year old and I can still run at native resolution with everything maxed and 4x SMAA at a playable framerate for single player (which is all I care about for Crysis). When the original Crysis came out, I seem to recall it taking about 2 years for cards to be able to deliver that level of performance. That I can max it on launch day and it looks as good as it does is awesome.
 
2560x1600. Definite dips below 60 fps now and then but it is completely playable so far, i'm satisfied. Most of the dips are in areas where there is heavy water or rain, but the game retains smoothness. It is never choppy. Playing FXAA, VHQ 2560x1600 with overclocked MSI lightning 680s. Definitely happy with my cards more now that a game pushes them, it's a rare occurance these days - one of the few games where I get full boost speed (mid 1300s with only a mild fan curve, I could do more at super high fan settings)

It definitely would not be playable @ 2560x on a single card, that's for sure
 
I'd be far more happy with the performance if it weren't origin, which I refuse to support. Right now I get 0 fps.
 
I am playing at 25x16, and agree, it really takes two cards to run it effectively, but it looks great.

What I don't like is the AI locking on to you from across the map and just swarming you, holy crap. I don't see where people are reporting the game 5 hours long. Are they putting it in god mode, and just doing a full on sprint to the end?

I think so. I always play these games on the hardest difficulty and two or three hits and you are dead in this game.

I am happy with performance using SMAA. There are areas where the aliasing still gets nasty, particularly the hydro dam level, and MSAA fixes it - but is unplayable. But no setup seems to be able to handle msaa at my resolution anyways.

Usually between 45-55 fps everything maxed using SMAA. There is something up with SLI in the game and gpu usage dropping off randomly. It also feels choppy at times with a lot going on, even though framerates are 45+. Still happy with how it is playing overall though.

I just finished, I am curious how Nvidia got top billing over AMD in the credits.

EA switched over to AMD halfway through the development process. It was going to be TWIMTBP originally (that's why TXAA is in it) but then EA switched everything over to AMD gaming evolved - due to upcoming consoles which will all use AMD chips, thus it kinda made sense for them to switch? I'm guessing.
 
Yeah, but you would not think it would be that hard to put AMD above Nvidia in the credit portion since it is a gaming evolved title.
 
I am getting quite into Crysis 3 now so have been tweaking to see how best to run it going forward and it seems that for my setup, MSAAx8 is broken as it drops me to 1FPS!

However, with everything maxed and the AA set to FXAA I now get very acceptable gameplay, super smooth, but lower than expected FPS.


My Rig.
  • 3770k @ 4.6ghz
  • 3x 7970s at 1200/1650
  • 5760 x 1080 @120hz Eyefinity
I average over 40 FPS, usually nearer to 50. (MXAA kills it to low 40s)

I set the game to the same point, as you enter new york, just before you take out that comms tower, stood in the moving grass and nice rocks.
I tested both 2x and 3x GPU's and the results were IDENTICAL FPS - except that 2x GPU ran smoother. A little more fluid.
I grabbed two images to illustrate as I monitor all hardware + FRAPS on my G19 with updates at 1hz.

2X GPU's

So my advice for now:
  • Trifire is pointless
  • I personally suggest you run with FXAA as it seems to give a good 5fps advantage and I personally cant see any visual difference at all..
