Crysis Warhead - Gone Gold

[fornowagain]

So here you have it, confirmed by a member on rage3D about STEAM and no DRM

Whats this then? http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showpost.php?p=3297411&postcount=327

Got my copy this morning and it's humming along quite nicely on the Gamer settings @ 1680x1050. Did try playing it on enthusiast but it started chugging in heavy firefights. Hopefully that will lessen when I get my new mobo/cpu next month!

Another thing to note is that you simply have to play this DX9 for the best experience (unless you've got a high end card) as with the latest 8.9 cats I lose 10 fps in some areas if I run in dx10.

Good to know. Thanks.

Now that enthusiast/very high available on DX9 will probably stick with that.

Normal Crysis with everything very high is almost playable already, so my system should manage it. I hope

Well I was kinda happy with 1280x960 ALL VERY HIGH and no AA in DX10 with Crysis at 25-38FPS (slowest being Snow Level).

Crytek CLAIM this should be faster LOL.

Crytek's claims are about as relevant as Inquirer articles

Yes, I know but some are still in denial over Crysis Prelaunch claims by their CEO.

(I'm sitting waiting on mines hopefully coming through mailbox, usually get 2 days early from my place of order), seems 1 day now if it even comes.

DX9 according to the translation.

Cysis Baldhead, titter.

Those results look dodgy to me....

They do seem a tad dubious.

Nvidia drivers seem quite old too, though I'm sure there's more to it than that as the ATI results are rather unimpressive with the 8.9s.

why with that cpu and gfx card do they just have 2 g of ram?

 

[Billzz]

OK I've just ordered this, but I'm a bit confused about the 3 install limit DRM thingy type stuff. I can install it 3 times before I have to contact EA cap in hand to activate it? Or does it 'unactivate' itself when I uninstall? Or does this mean I can't have it installed on more than 3 machines at one time??

This DRM stuff does your head in ...

 

[izzy eckerslike]

Why does everyone think they can only select gamer , enthusiast, mainstream or whatever when you can simply mix & match like Crysis & lower just some of the settings

Lowering settings in Crysis? Blasphemy.

How would they complain about the performance?

 

[bledd]

2gb ram, are they ####### kidding?

why go to all that effort?
