How many FPS do YOU get on crysis?

With my system specs (you can see below on system specs button)
i get on average 30-40 fps on a high w/ 1680x1050 resolution. on a 23 inch acer monitor. Does anyone think thats good? how much do you guys get and make sure to put if your cards are in crossfire/SLI
i have a single MSI HD 4870 1 GB with 4 GB RM XMS2 w/ Heat Spreader Corsair @ 800 mhz and an Intel Q9650 @ 3.0 ghz. running it all with a p45 chipset (p5q Pro Turbo)
nothing overclocked

that is good...... if it wont drop below 30fps, that's great

i was seeing horrible frames on certain sections, sometimes as low as 10fps with a GTX260 , the drivers may have improved somewhat since then for Crysis optimization, but i moved onto Warhead & never looked back....

The question is, do you think it's good? Those are decent frames and settings for Crysis.

With my machine, I get between 30-45, averaging around 34ish @1920x1200, very high, 4xAA +vsync. I get the same frames with x8AA but it feels too laggy with vysnc on.

As SK said, with certain areas in the game, the frame rate plummets to below 20fps ie The harbour

yeah i suppose your right i get much better framerates with crysis warhead like @ least 10 more frames but ive always wanted to know what is vsync? what does it do?

Over 9000.

Pshh get off onboard graphics

all his game guides are fantastic , his "DX10 on the cheap settings" (tweaking very high settings in DX9) for crysis are marvellous , twice the fps of DX10 and very little differance between the two visually.

all his guides are fantastic , unfortunately he doesnt do them anymore but his site is excellent for keeping up to date with the latest patches/driver releases

his forceware guide and his Vista guide are also a must read

I get about 40 FPS on average but it comes down when I make a video clip and even when I make a snapshot. I am playing it at x64 bits, 1680 x 1050, 8x AA and everything else set to High

This snapshot does not make it justice and uploading a boring video that we all have seen before is not my cup of tea



I'll read that tweak and see if I can pick up a few more FPSs but truth is... I am extremely happy with my rig

well apparently im getting this:

nice man i ge about 3-4 fps more

engage a few kpa , throw a few nades , the take a screenshot of your fps

edit...........im getting 22/30 fps in crysis warhead high battle lots of dust explosions bullets etc 1680x1050 all settings at enthsiast except post processing , shadows and particles these 3 ares er to gamer No antialaising but edge AA set to 1

with motion blur se to 5 its actually very playable and the drops are only for a few seconds

one thing worth mentioning if you have plenty of ram and your running 64 bit ingame (32 bit will crash) using the r_textureStreaming 0 command will improve image quality with no fps hit , if you aint git much GPU/physical ram it will stutter though (it changes the way crysis uses textures , it caches them instead of streaming them , one of the best tweaks ive tried

kay ill post soon hang on 1 sec lemme finish installing FSX

I am game for trying anything, care to explain to us mere mortals how, exactly, do we go and do that Tweak? I have 8 GB's of Ram, a GTX260 + 9500Gt for PhysX duty so I am assuming I can handle a little more tweaking w/o bottlenecking my hardware.

I will try going to the console ingame and adding that up to see what it does but I am sure I should be putting that in a cfg or xml file somewhere.

Well, just tried the tweak in the console and it say... Unrecognized command or something similar.

On the other hand, here are a couple of screenshots while heavy battle and nade throwing... you kinda die quick when you run & gun to much with the KPA

TweakGuides.com - Crysis Tweak Guide

its all there :D trust me its well worth a read ,

Crysis warhead is th same there are a few alterations to a few things

TweakGuides.com - Crysis Warhead Tweak Guide

one thing you might miss , before putting any command into console (just to test you can write them to a cfg later to make them permanent ((all the instructions for that are there too))) you need to put in con_restricted 0 I missed that bit

what res and settings do you have? fps look good

Arrrrggghhh... reading is not one of my strong points

Fine, you win... I'll read it

Settings? 1680 x 1050 and everything at High with 8x AA No V-Sync.

Impulse...I'm running the same resolution as you are with a Sapphire Radeon 4870 and seeing 46-52 fps most of the time.
