I don't know the exact FPS but DX10 performance is awful on my PC, I would guess less than 15 fps.

Optimal settings, 1920 x 1200, Q6600, 8800GTX and the Nvidia 163.71 driver.

Yeah Im getting best performance with the 163.71's were these not the Bioshock drivers I can't remember.

Edit - nope there the latest offical ones.

High = DX9

Very High = DX10

Pretty sure that's it, anyway. (Some are available in DX9 as well like god rays but can't be enabled without editing the config)

No you can still run DX10 with all "high" settings see "r_displayinfo 1"

Here's a shot from just now - physics at their finest

Squark · 28 Oct 2007 at 21:14

Im totally holding off judgement of the game (reg. performance) until the actual release

More textures?

DX10 has amazing lighting, improved shaders and water effects etc. The difference is huge.

Does the vegetation pop into view in dx10 like it does in dx9?

Lovely examples of things not working on the physics front, but even with its flaws its still one hell of an achievment! What i would suggest though is to point out these flaws in the right places so they will be seen by the peeps who need to see em. I think the next year is gonna be pretty exciting to see the fixes, tweaks and adjustments applied to the engine.

Yeah it does but it ain't that bad, i can live with it.

Great. Updated my nvidia drivers and now crysis hangs on the first intro screen. Excellent job nvidia.

I quote from the driver page "Recommended driver for Crysis single player game demo. "

This game is the bomb! However, I get the occasional stutter on medium settings! :eek:

Dont be disappointed if performance is the same in the final release, course it will, until they patch it a month or so later :mad:

The physics in the Havok engine are a lot better in my opinion (HL2, CoH etc). Everything is taken into consideration with Havok and fire spreads, which is really cool. The success of Gmod is a really good indication of it's power.

people are reporting big fps increases on incrysis forums.

"This is a set of modified CVar files for the Crysis SP demo that lets you get multiple 'DX10 exclusive' features running under the DX9 'High' mode"

Thanks for the heads up......wow what a difference

I thought it looked good already with everything on high, but these CVar files made it look even better.

1920x1200, everything on high with win xp pro, who needs vista

Click on the image then on the magnifying glass underneath to get the full size image.

The rays of light through the trees looks great and the rainbow effect on the water is a nice liittle touch. Plus my framerate was still as good which was nice.

yipyipboo · 28 Oct 2007 at 22:01

Noticed that rainbow effect, very cool. Must say i am enjoying the sp demo very much, its great to have destructable environments, missed it in the latest Medal of Honor. My neighbour commented 'oh look how real that looks' made me

If this is one level, how many more will there be in the actual release?

KNiVES · 28 Oct 2007 at 22:09

That CVar must be a total embarrassment to Crytek and Nvidia...

Average of 26fps according to the benchmarks, although it's low it still plays fine and thats all that matters to me.

Super · 28 Oct 2007 at 22:14

No problem billsterno1.
