When there will be available more powerful cards?

[UKDTweak]

I take it you like Crysis and think they have one a good job with the game for the PC? As a PC gamer and seeing more and more people move over to consoles I still stand by post #12.

We will have to agree to differ.

I have no idea admittedly as to how my FPS i get running @1024/768, 4x aa and everything set to high except Object detail which is set to medium, to me the game looks and plays very good and im too busy running about shooting to take much notice of shadows and wobbly plants ( i did at the start )

As far as im concerned, its running well on my rig, looks sweet and thats enough for me, the fact that there is an option for higher settings is not a concern to me, i did not expect my system to run these higher settings anyway as im on XP.
I dont see a need to run a higher resolution as the textures are still the same and i have tried object detail on high and did not notice any visual improvements but did notice the odd jerk that i dont get when object detail is set to medium. So im happy with the engine and the visuals i see, more would be nice but pointless as the game runs and looks fine as it is. I cant honestly see why anyone Must run their resolutions so high, anything above 1280 is a waist as my monitor only goes to 1600 as its a 19" CRT, and for those who argue there monitor is a TFT so needs to run at native... your own fault for buying a TFT for games.

You still dont get it.

As a gamer I do, that is the whole point. Make it so good with a rich world as you say that most PC's struggle to play it. Not Comparing it to CSS as that as you as you say is old now (but still very good) but to COD4.

I along with a lot of other gamers think as a PC game is misses the mark, as a 'look how good it looks' and I can get xxFPS type of game, then yes it very good.

It makes me laugh, I give my opinion as a gamer and some just reply "you missed the point", "you lack knowledge" and "you have no idea!" I suppose though this is an OC forum and not a gaming one.

Anyway don't intend to post anymore on this thread, as I said before, agree to differ.

I wouldn't say you lack knowlage. But i think you are still missing the point of what people are saying. You never really answered what i said you just said your a pc gamer and compared it to CO4 and then dodged it.


Co4 is a linear game which ahs been done to death with all the other cods. its nothing new the graphics arn't bad but i wouldn't put them ontop of crysis and the world isn't as big. Its a set route in a small map. There is no special physics making trees move etc. The complexity is nothing compared to a game like crysis.

You cannot compare the games and claim crysis is obiously a terribly made game because you cant run ultra high.

Granted its not fully optimized but that will come with patchs. The game is runnig on a new engine i doubt cod4 is, of course its going to take a while to get all the problems sorted in it.

Since i can't run Crysis not even near on max in MP with my System and get smooth frames with 2900XT, i was wondering when there will be more powerful cards available? They just keep releasing all this cheapest versions of 8800 like GT and same with Ati 3870 series or what so ever! I mean ftf we need some better Hardware out there !
About G92 which suppose to be released third of December if i am not wrong, will that run much better, or what's happening with Ati are they shooting with something better soon?

peace

Wow, I don't think I've ever seen a thread go more off topic.

As always .

Back on topic I heard D8E was coming as a dual card solution and is planned to be the next high end, should be here around Jan/Feb.

We know nothing more, these threads always go round and round and round and by the end we still are none the wiser.

Stop expecting games companys to just think about making a game for NOW! They have to make the game good for the future, and crysis has done that by implementing graphics that will be playable/better in the future.

What would be the point in making the game playable for the future!?
People who buy the game at full retail price make the company the most profit, not the £10 bargain basements which is were the game will be in a year.

Its why i dont understand why developers are alienating half of the PC market by having massive min requirements.

Its the ENGINE that is made playable for the future, so other devs can buy and use it for there future releases, Its not just about Crysis.

That is what iw as trying to say earlyer. its not just about crysis, its about future games on the engine like the trillogy which they plan on releasing. Also if they show it off enough we could see it taking over the ut source... well perhaps not take over but challange it at least.

Try to keep it near the topic, whether you like that topic or not

 

[ledbythereaper]

So what you expect a developer to release a new engine everytime a new graphics card is released?

 

[shaffaaf27]

i understand why peopel are ticked off though.

you pay £300+ for a GPU card, and then to find out the you are not getting your money's worth just makes you really really pi55ed off. If you bought a hd tv, only to find out that a new HD channel came out that didnt support your TV, then you would be annoyed aswell....(ok not best example, but i cant think of something else!)

 

[ledbythereaper]

Urm, I dont think I remember Crytek ever claiming that Crysis will run maxed out @ some insane res on a £300 graphics card.

You've been told once & I'm telling you again, Keep it on topic !!!

 

[helmutcheese]

Urm, I dont think I remember Crytek ever claiming that Crysis will run maxed out @ some insane res on a £300 graphics card.

They did, a 8800GTS (unsure if 320 or 640) at MAX settings and if 1600x1200 or more you need faster hardware (so that would be GTX/Ultra at time it was said).

You can go and read the interview with Crytek's CEO Cevat Yeril stating that.


Incase I got wording wrong, here it is from the horses mouth.


" Maximum PC - Cevat Yerli Crysis Interview
Maximum PC magazine published a technology focused Crysis interview with Crytek CEO and President Cevat Yerli on their October 2007 issue. Below is a short summary of the main topics from the one-page interview. Thanks to littlecheez9 for this!


- The game physics in Crysis will be handled by the CPU only so there will be no GPU or PhysX PPU aided physics acceleration.
- What comes to digital distribution Crysis will not be available on services such as Steam but on EA Link (EA Store).
- Crysis is highly optimized for both single-core and multi-core CPUs.
- The benefit from having multi-core CPUs will only be better performance i.e. higher and smoother frame rates.
- Cevat believes that GeForce 8800 GTS or Radeon 2900 will be good for running Crysis at 1280 resolutions on maximum settings but for 1600x1200 or higher you'll need faster hardware."

The early requirements said ultra high could be run on GTS i remember that.

 

[Rroff]

There were several (official) claims that an 8800GTS could run high detail at 1280x with 60+FPS... that I do remember...

 

[helmutcheese]

I have edited above as found the interviews.

Getting abit sick of having to post them as peeps talk TOSH about how the Game is supposed to run (like is it CPU or GPU Dependant) or what hardware is needed.

The info is all there in every one of the CEO's interviews over a coarse of about 1 year, so you can say he is either a LIAR or the Games flawed as it stands for now.

 

[Lightnix]

Early speculated requirements... Blah blah.

I suppose one advantage of this future hardware using game is that if anyone wants to play through the first and second, or first second and third installations of the supposed trilogy, they need not be disappointed by the graphics of the first one in comparison to the second or third.

Or he is a CEO focused more on the buisness side of things and is a bit out of touch with the actual devs.

 

[helmutcheese]

He should have not gave out specs etc then as now he looks like a BS'r.

He said what he said and it will stick (esp on the Crysis Forum).
