okay! i'll look how to add custom fan profiles when i get home, i presume i can set these through EVGA Precision X software. Ive noticed when playing lastnight my fan was on auto at around 45% dont think thats enough!

Going to be pretty noisy though, its a good job ive got a loud Kave headset

50% will do the trick, there is a big difference in cooling efficiency between 45% and 50% despite the difference looks small.

I dont know what auto fan profile is so bad. It should be at least 50c50% 60c60% etc

60-65 65-70 70-75 is much better and not much louder. at 70c set it to 80% fan

10% is not slightly and worthy of some attention, what could be responsible for that difference? But then again use of words such as slightly allow wriggle room where definition of that is a matter of opinion and you are entitled to yours!

Now, whether 10% is noticible is another matter of course ... !

It was more of a discussion about HT, and that it doesn't appear to be utilised in this game. If you have a look back there's a link I posted with some comparisons of thread usage on Intel and AMD.

Totally agree with you on this, without doubt the best looking game bar none (IMO)

Does this have a level editor like Crysis 1 or have they stopped all that?

Give you some idea on fan speeds for my reference MSI 670. at 60c fans at 60% and at 70 fan is at 65%. I don't see my card go over 68ish tho I am only running the game on medium settings.

If so I cant find Sandbox. Origin best not limit it so it cant be modded / levels created etc

I can't even complete the game.

After I fight the Alpha Seth and then shoot the arrow into its face the game crashes to desktop every time, tried about 10 times with different settings and everything >.<

Any tips for Eyefinity 1080 res on a 6970? It's going to chug I'm sure.

oldestgregg · 28 Feb 2013 at 20:20

rankftw- I had the exact same problem with the first games end boss as well! Funny that.

sieze2 · 28 Feb 2013 at 23:01

Anyone else have the multiplayer game crash?

Weirdly the single player game runs rock solid ?

Got some time on this game now and was pleased to see that at 2560x1600 Xfire 7950 @ 1100/1575 is nice and smooth with everything set to Very High and FXAA ... without the overclock I could not play these settings tbh. I wonder how long that will last though as I get into the game more and scenes get more taxing

Need 3x7950 probably ...

You could pick up another 6970 pretty cheap now I would imagine and that should allow fairly decent settings across 3 screens.

After some more running around in the first bit of new york (loving the graphics!) my top card hits mid 70s & bottom one is at high 50s ... (Twin Fozr Boost 7950s with 100% fan) ... and my CPU was consistantly showing 90% on the usage meter at some points :eek:

Never seen that before in a game lol! That's an i7 920 @4.2GHz ... and TBH these settings are still borderline for smooth play at those settings ... Crysis 4 will need a CPU upgrade at this rate, lol!
