edit: people, you don't understand! 15FPS is the minimum, if you were to look at my screenshots before jumping into the conclusion of 15fps all the time, you'd see 25-30 is what you'd usually get.
15FPS is very playabe in Crysis. and i have tweaked Crysis myself to make sure the FPS will NEVER drop below 15FPS. i've play tested all the levels using my config, making tiny changes along the way.
so i will make this promise: your FPS will NEVER drop below 15 in all SP levels except the last level.
there is a Dx9 version, but Dx9 version don't have FFT calculations on water, yet it still performs worse, but Dx9 is needed to have good FPS in the last level. (don't know why yet)
goal of this is not only provide very playable framerates, but to also improve on visual and view distance.
list of stuff have been tweaked:
-shadow are tweaked, and a bit of quality are lost from Very High shadow settings
-view distance have been increased, and LOD ratio are lightly tweaked
-shaders, water and post processing still based off Very High, HDR tweaked
-resolution locked at 1440x900. you must open the cfg file to change or disable this lock. (it's very obvious on which line to change)
requirements:
-8800GTX, tested extensively on 8800GTX, but im pretty sure it also works on 8800GT and new GTS with 512MB vRAM
-3 to 4GB of RAM, i've noticed it taking up as much as 1600MB of RAM, so running Vista with this means needs at least 3GB to have smooth gameplay
-a fast processor, best to be Core2 in excess of 2.8Ghz. im using quad core, if physics slows it down, don't blame me.
Instructions and Downloads:
1. Click here to download
2. extract the ZIP file into Crysis install directory, where Bin32 and Game folders are loacted
2.5 make sure your monitor supports 1440x900, if not, change it in the config files.
3. double click on "Run_x62_Dx10.bat" is recommended, if not Vista 64bit, use the 32bit launcher
4. enjoy lag-less Crysis
on my machine, the GPU benchmark gives 34 average, 25 minimum and 40 maximum.
here is a direct Dx9 v Dx10 comparison of my config (without HDR tweak on these)
as you can see, Dx10 clearly performs better with my config. and Dx10 looks better, with clearer image and the flame looks right.
and here are the screenshots taken using v1 of my configs
any issue or question, please post here
by the way, here is Crysis last mission saved games if you need them
