You really surprised? This is Ubisoft - developed and published... One of the worst outfits for producing something for gamers...

Anyone know how this fares on a single G92 8800 GTS?

To be honest I am. I've just checked, and none of the games I own have anything to do with Ubisoft. The last one I owned was funnily enough FarCry, so I've not had much 'experience' with their games.

Well, guess I'll have to remember that about the company from now on.
 
tbh the screen shots looks great , not that far behind crysis!

and its in africa , not so much with the ferns and palm trees! so looks ace , different

the people screenshot posted was very badley done the crysis one is high res , the farcry model is low res and blown up .....:rolleyes:

How's the actual gameplay though just out of interest?

The gameplay is pretty good, it's basically FarCry mixed with Oblivion and GTA, sounds weird but that's kinda what it is. It has all the traits of Oblivion and GTA, what with the free-roaming, massive maps, side-missions running alongside the main mission, loads of different weapons, save houses etc. Just with the FarCry name lol.
 
Just ran the bench tool at the below settings.

Rig consists of:

e6320 @ 3.6ghz
4gb 1066mhz ram
HD4850 @ stock
2 x RAID 0 seagates

Got the following results

Not a clue whether that's any good or not, it looks fine to me when playing though.
 
Does DX9 run faster than DX10 at the same settings, and what are the differences between the two? Finally, is quad-core as utilized as Ubisoft says?

I have a Razer Diamondback 1600dpi & all other games run sweet including Crysis.
The mouse movement on this game is very jerky, up/down moves like quake1, if looking left/right in a car the mouse view centres to horizontal.
Have to play with sensitivity at 0/minimum, smoothness level makes no difference.
This game just hates the mouse!

I have that same mouse, no problems for me.

Same settings as above but in DX9

Hardly any difference in framerates but I think DX10 looks considerably better than DX9.

Might be an idea for me to run it at a lower res than 1920x1080 as to see how much the FPS increases.

Haven't bought a PC game this year (literally) so im a little bit out of the swing. How will this run on the following?

4400+
X1900XTX 512
2gb corsair xms
vista64

Is hoping for high/1280x1024 optimistic? Should i get this for xbxo360 instead :p
 
Too be honest, your character should ditch his mercenary role and become 'Worlds Most Sought-After Mechanic' because he can fix a shafted engine in 10 seconds with nothing more than a socket wrench (you'll be doing this frequently).

But...

...After rescuing my first "buddy" I have to say I'm not too impressed with the game /so far/

Whilst the performance is good even on Ultra High the graphical polish is nowhere near Crysis

It's not a game I'd otherwise spend any money on, certainly not over £15 anyway because it doesn't have the level of polish for a game asking for full retail price.

IMO Crysis Warhead DOES has the level of polish and presentation that asks for such a price.

I've always said theres NO way FC2 would be on Crysis level graphically, i would have thought it obvious to even some of the genius's on here... Crysis was specifically made for the PC. FC2 is also made for technically inferior consoles.

People are now expecting the new COD game to look amazing and cripple cards... but again, it wont because it's also made for console hardware. Crysis was a rare one off game, and theres getting less and less of games like that these days, it's nearly all cross platform now.
