Who swapped there GTX for an ultra?

Correct, esp for a CPU Dependant game (so says the CEO), the peep does not seem to have much knowledge on subject though as the low CPU useage is probably our issue.

So you WANT 100% cpu load on both cores?

WTF LOL

Sorry but I think the way they have done it is brilliant.

Should scale fabulously!

Remember you lot are really really really REALLY GPU limited...
 
Well I don't seem to be that GPU limited, I get 60-80% load on both cores...

Or, you can buy the game now, enjoy it now and then play it again with improved visuals once the hardware has caught up.

WHATTTT not play every game with 8xaa and 16xAF and ultra high settings on dual monitors!!! NOOO thats impossible!

Ive not played a game on high settings or even medium for 2 yeras now with my 6800 GT. You people moan to much.

Did I say that, you dont have a clue m8, the Game is supposed to be CPU Dependant, in my Case and many others it used hardly any of 1 Core and next to Nil of other Core(s).

You really need go read up on the Crysis interviews before blabering Tosh,
 
I'm pretty sure the game is only CPU limited in regards to advanced physics, etc. All the breakable objects and buildings, the environment, etc.

He certainly isn't blabbering tosh, Helmet.
 
People need to realise that they designed Crysis so that it will still look good and be taxing in like 2 years. They wanted it to last, and it will.
As of yet, no GPU is really powerful enough to run it at high res, with AA and all settings on high / vey high.
However they will be. I find it doen't look to bad without AA tbh

He is when he makes dumb comments like "WTF LOL" and claiming I want 100% CPU on both Cores.

The CEO says the game is CPU Dependant, he should know more than us, we aint seen Full Game so he still could be telling us facts.
 
I aint, but I will wait on Final.

All Im getting at is, if everyone that talks so much about Crysis this and Crysis that, read all his interviews they would see some facts that aint true so far going by the Pre Release Demo.

Everything I have said in past week is quoted from his Interviews, I do not need someone to tell me the Game should not use CPU and use more GPU etc, thats F.E.A.R not Crysis.

Swapping a GTX for an Ultra would be crazy. The only viable upgrade path is either a second GTX in SLI really, or possibly selling it and getting 2x8800GT in SLI. Anything else would be a somewhat sideways move.
 
No, I mean the low CPU usage is bad. Even the most simple of games with proper implementation should be using as much CPU as possible.

You seem to have a really bad attitude problem. What Concorde Rules has said is right, from your quote below Raikiris quote, you are basically saying that you want 100% CPU load. We can only go on what you are posting.

Post a bit more clearly in the future and then this misunderstanding wont happen.

Anyway Swapping a 8800GTX for a 8800 Ultra is pretty hard to justify.

No-one will play this in 2 years time, we'll be busy with Alan Wake 2 and FarCry 3.
They should have made this for now, and they havent, and for the record, dont get your hopes up about the full release having better performance, it wont!
 
So what do you want the game to do with the CPU cores then? :confused:

Use them, when it's needed (which mine seems to be doing just fine). For example if your FPS is really low in a physics/AI heavy part of the game and your CPU is only working at 30% then surely there is the potential for the game to run faster.

CPU

GPU

Min - 21

It's completely playable on today's hardware, if I had the best stuff available I could run it at higher resolutions or with AA. And the new generation of cards will probably be out within the next 3-6 months.

Yes, exactly. I was on about Helmetcheese's moaning about the CPU usage, I think it's using Dual/Quad cores just fine. Quad Core usage will lower than Dual as it can spread the work across 4 cores rather than only 2, obviously.

You back to your normal I see.

I was not the one saying "WTF and "LOL" (ignorence IMO) so less of attitude comments towards me, you know we both hate each other so drop it.

I did not say anything about 100% CPU so your making that assumption up as usual, added to the fact there will be no confusion in future as your going back on ignore and staying there forever.

Anyone that thinks how the Game should work or else should go and read all interviews, then all threads about lack of CPU use and No real benefit from Quad support as said it would (up on sites 2 days ago).

The game as it stands from the Demo does not use my CPU nearly enough and going by many posts I have seen on here and elsewhere lots are in the same boat, easy to prove by Underclocking CPU and Overclocking the GPU and hardly any change to FPS.

You want to kid on that Crysis so far is a well optimised GPU dependant Demo, be my guest, but then your accepting being lied to by the CEO (after you read all interviews) is fine.

If the final games doesnt have at least some of problems fixed like in the demo then no one will buy it simple so Ea and Crytek will do all they can to fix it or at least gains some fps.

Why would Crtek/EA release a game now if no hardware can run it at high res and good eye candy levels without lagging because once the hardware catches up no one will be playing it so its lost business for them.
