    Re: FPS gained on Crysis using High textures over medium?!

    From what I can tell crossfire performance in Crysis DX10 doesn't scale hardly one bit... I did some benchmarks and here is what I got with an "Ultra High [HD]" config file. Looks better than Very High and can use it on DX9 and DX10.

    1680x1050

    DX9

    No AA:
    Min: 28.17
    Max: 66.28
    Avg: 46.6

    4x AA:*
    Min: 20.24
    Max: 48.64
    Avg: 33.045

    8x AA:
    Min: 24.41
    Max: 53.63
    Avg: 40.225

    16x AA:
    Min: 24.66
    Max: 53.85
    Avg: 40.52

    DX10

    No AA:
    Min: 18.27
    Max: 45.94
    Avg: 28.97

    *Graphics corruption observed.

    While playing the game, it's really strange... I have say 60FPS, then if I zoom in with either a scope (sucks because I like sniping! luckily though it doesn't affect the reflex sights so the game is still playable ) or the binops my FPS halves and I get mouse lag, even after i've zoomed out again. Only way to fix it is to quit the game and restart it! Also AA from the game menu has big FPS impact - unlike the benchmark which showed hardly any decrease. I can only conclude from these two things that crysis is royally fubared.

    Re: FPS gained on Crysis using High textures over medium?!

    Ok, since I just found out I had a lot more cash than I thought, my budget is over 2 grand, so should I go for a new comp with Core 2 Extreme, or just upgrade to GTX 280's.

    How did you misplace two grand?

    Or did you just post on the wrong topic or something?

    Looking at your system.. No.. None of it. What's wrong with it? 280's plural? Suggests SLi and you don't have an SLi motherboard.

    Well, I wanted something that would last a while, so should x-fire last me for more than a year at least? (And to mediaboy, my wife let me spend more

    the thing with SLi and Crossfire is that it's a false economy in terms of future proofing. Say you put two 4870's in crossfire aiming to extend the length of time before needing to upgrade again, within a year there will be a mid to high range single gfx card out that ****s all over two 4870's and hence you'd have been better getting just the one 4879's and keeping the spare 180 away for that single card in just over a year or so.

The less you are, the less you express your own life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life, the greater is the store of your estranged being." Karl Marx

    Re: FPS gained on Crysis using High textures over medium?!

    Aparently 55nm 280 is coming pretty soon, sooner than originally planned because of the 4800 series success - i'd wait for that if I was you!

    Now that would be a really nice buy. Nice to see Nvidia showing some sign of life.

    Re: FPS gained on Crysis using High textures over medium?!

    Just have to wait for AMD to do the same and then maybe we can build more computers....

    Of course, you're all probably using Intel till AMD bring up the standards.

    Re: FPS gained on Crysis using High textures over medium?!

    Of course, just have to wait it out until AMD releases better quad cores, and have to wait for games to start utilizing 4 cores.

    Re: FPS gained on Crysis using High textures over medium?!

    For some reason Crysis crashes to the desktop when I try and start a game on high settings or load a game on any settings.

    It's a brand new computer, XP, e8400 cpu, hd4850 gpu, 4gb ram.

    Any idea why this might be happening? :/

    Your graphics card might be getting too hot.

    Re: FPS gained on Crysis using High textures over medium?!

    who needs a quad core with crossfire/sli when crysis runs on a 1.8ghz XP2500+, 756mb ddr2700 ram, radeon 9500 - don't believe me.??. heres some proof then...

    average of around 18fps on a system thats below the min specs for the game cant be bad..

    although it did kill my previous graphics card - a radeon 9600 pro.. wierdly the 9600 got 3 fps lower on average, but I am using newer graphics drivers so the performance gains ATI have claimed in various release notes do manifest themselves in games..

    as for Acorns problem of crashing - have you got up to date graphics/dotnet/mobo chipset/direct x/windows service packs/1.2 crysis patch? and have you defragged your PC lately?

    Re: FPS gained on Crysis using High textures over medium?!

    Stevie Lee, games would need at least 2 cores and a high and gaming card to run at max, with at least resolution of 1440x900.
