Crysis @ 1080 = 50FPS @ 1600P = 60 FPS ???

[Dicehunter]

I ran Crysis before and noticed something odd, Maybe someone more educated on the subject can enlighten me.

I ran it at 1080P and the game ran at a solid 50 FPS never going higher at all, I turned it up to 1600P and the game ran at a solid 60 FPS.

Is this something to do with the CPU having to do more work at 1080P hence the lower FPS or something else entirely ?

Yea I would hazard a guess at it being to do with a cup bottleneck. Crysis only uses 1 and a half cpu cores from what I have read. This is not really enough to push a modern graphics card to its limit. As the resolution goes up so does the gpu workload making it more gpu based than cpu. I assume this is what's happening.

Run Crysis 3 and tell us what happens

The Crysis games have an issue with DX10/11 + 1080p locking to either 24hz or 50hz. Turn off Vsync to see what you're really pushing

Had a bit too much eggnog?

I have seen the same frames when going from 1080P to 1440P in some games that are very CPU demanding (Hitman Absolution for example) but never seen more frames... Strange that one.

Surely a CPU bottle necked game would provide the same minimum frame rate at any resolution, limited by the maximum the graphics card can output. Higher resolution isn't gonna put any less stress on a CPU.

Unfortunately not. What I meant is it fully loads one core and half of of the second. It's not well threaded like up to date games.

I have seen it a few times where you get higher fps by turning up the settings.

I think at lower resolutions the CPU can get asked to do so much work that it runs less efficiently and hence lower fps.
