FPS gained on Crysis using High textures over medium?!

[Lowe]

Weird as a beard this one...

Specs are in < My System <

169.04 drivers set to Crysis.exe, computer clocked to 3.15ghz and gfx card set to 595/1480/900 with fan on 100%

Crysis set to everything High apart from shadows, set to Medium. No AA, running at 1280x1024.

Timedemo results playing on the modified island (the one with all the extra weapons, people and alien)

If I do the same on medium textures, I get about 10% less! Weird :S

[s_kinton]

That does seem odd. How did you run that benchmark?

Let me know and I'l run the same tonight for a comparison

[Lowe]

Go into the root directory of Crysis. You'll see a group of folders. Now, in one of those folders there's two .bat files - one called GPU, the other CPU. Run the GPU one and it'll do a flyby of the island and record the framerate etc.

I think the folder is called Game.. could be one of the others tho, can't remember off the top of my head.

[s_kinton]

Ive gone in Crtek/Crysis SP Demo/Game/Levels/Island and I have 2 files called; benchmark_cpu.tmd and benchmark_gpu.tmd

I dont have any batch files anywhere. Do they come with the custom map?

[chuckskull]

Remember the demo isn't the most up to date build(infact probably quite old) and there's a good chance some graphics options are more optimised than others.

I'll give it a whirl later and see what results I get. I have a similar spec to you.

[Lowe]

C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis SP Demo\Bin32\Benchmark_GPU.bat

That's where it lives on my machine

25 FPS lol

1680x1050 everything set to medium, no AA

However on the benchmark it stuttered and took ages to cache the detail of the models

X2 4400 @ Stock
2GB PC3200
X1900XTX 512MB
Vista Business 32bit

& for the CPU benchmark its 24 FPS

[Lanky123]

Fear my speed! Not!

25 FPS lol

1680x1050 everything set to medium, no AA

Thats pretty good. I get about 28 with an 8800gts 320 and exactly the same settings.

[sawyen]

Piss poo for me..

8800GT on stock.. 4600+ on 2.7Ghz

everything on high, water on ultra high..

pissin 28fps..

CPU benchies hit only 26fps.. so much for that overclock..

[Lowe]

I get more FPS on the CPU benchmark as well, I'll post the results up if I think about it later

mm think i'll stick with medium

<=== my system @ 1680x1050

[LunarJetman]

Here are my benchmarks, in case they are useful.

I was running at 1024x768 with 2xAA, all detail settings on High in XP.

I didn't see any huge difference when I lowered the settings to medium and ran the benchmark again.

My system is a 3.4Ghz Pentium D
BFG 8800 GTS OC 640MB
Intel D975XBX
4GB RAM

[callius]

anyone know how you can force this benchmark into DX9 mode on vista ?

[s_kinton]

anyone know how you can force this benchmark into DX9 mode on vista ?

- Right Click on the shortcut and select “Properties” for you Crysis.exe
- At the end of the “Target” line add -dx9
- The Target should now be something like this (”C:\Program Files\Crysis SP Demo\Bin32\Crysis.exe” -dx9)
- Launch the game from this new shortcut and you should be all set

I get 38 FPS on very high 8x AA, is this good? or should i switch out for 2 way SLI 9800 GX2?

[yamangman]

I get 38 FPS on very high 8x AA, is this good? or should i switch out for 2 way SLI 9800 GX2?

No I'd definitely go 3-way SLI and consider buying a few fully stocked Cray XMT's...
