So I got a new mobo (MSI p45 platinum) to OC my Q6600, because my old (cheap) mobo wouldn't get me above 2.7GHz. I'm now stable at 3.2GHz (8x400) but when I fire up Crysis it runs too fast. In the cutscenes the characters move too fast, so they can't finish their monologue before the next bit of speech starts. When I get into the game itself, the character moves too fast.

I'm pretty sure it's related to the OC because it's back to normal when I reduce the FSB to the stock 266. Tried different patches, but to no avail.

I've actually already played Crysis so I'm not too troubled, butI offer it up as a bit of a curiosity. Anyone have any ideas?

I had this with a string of pinball games when I went from a Pentium 2 to an AMD XP 3000+. Only way I could fix it was to run SETI@Home or a script to calculate Pi to bog the CPU down enough to make them slow enough to be useable, would be very interested in seeing a 'real' solution though!

Not a topic you see often (if ever)

Increase your screen size set everything to maximum and give that a try.

whoah never heard of this before, is your oc entirely stable?

Had this problem once with a poor old amd x2 3800+ and battlefield 2. I think you'll find you've somehow overclocked your pci-e bus - make sure it hasnt gone up along with your fsb, it should be very close to or exactly 100mhz. This is what solved the problem for me anyways...

How funny talking about things being too fast!! NICE!!

My other half always says im too fast

Games are coded to work on a timer based on the system clock so unless you've did something to mess that up your issue lies with crysis and not your hardware.

strange prob,neva heard of it b4,

Is it just Crysis?

Isnt that a good thing? lol

Lol never heard of this before.

Strange... try reinatalling it, the only way I can see this happening is if you running a mod or a trainer or have edited the game some how... maybe something went wrong during instalation?

I had that issue years ago when my dad upgraded from a P2 to a P3...Hi-Octane became unplayable!

Try re-installing i suppose.

Ginga,

Any update?

Did you manage to slow it down or are you still playing Crysis on turbo

Hi guys. Thank for all the responses. This evening, I'll see if it happens with other games and whether I've inadvertently OCed the PCIE bus. Will report back with my findings. Cheers all.

PCI-E bus should make no difference.

Back in the day of the DFI SLi-DR my PCI-E bus was overclocked from 100 to 120Mhz!!

wow crysis too fast normally it's I can't play it on full due to frame rate issues, something has to be wrong.

I would check you bios settings first off & then update GPU drivers the ususal stuff.

regards JP

leave it as it is lol, its better too fast than too slow
