this doesn't surprise me, I bet there's a whole bunch of extra rendering options they left out of the menus to please the crowd that cant play at anything less than a hypothetical "maximum" setting, screen shots for my pleasure if you would though

Nice i got this yesterday, but an older version, this updated version lets you change the bloom which should make it much nicer.

Its such a shame they didnt bother to put this stuff in game, they wouldnt have got all the bad press about it.

Interested to know if this works and if so how does it affect performance?

It does work, and i get 30 FPS with everything on, and it's still playable despite i've had to turn crossfire off due to screen flickering.

I also have everything in CCC on full in the graphics options.

I expect its already been said but how long we expecting to wait for viable cf?

Damn, now EA can't release a DLC unlock for £7.99 that gives you extra graphics!

Does it make a good difference gfx wise?

Remember the first crysis, before release crytek said there was going to be locked graphics options that would be unlocked via a patch later. Ended up though the game shipped with them enabled by default, (supposodly a screwup by crytek). The fabled dx11 patch could be the same thing this time around.

Dunno, i used the utility before i played it, but i haven't seen some of the poor textures posted, saying that, i haven't been looking for them.

I heard that extreme mode has got all of this stuff on the highest already?

You're kidding right?

Can't see much/any difference myself, my FPS doesn't change by enough to be noticable with all options set to max either. I've just compared a few mins play then deleted the cfg it creates and tried again and fps was the same.

Placebo effect then? No wonder Crytek aren't bothered by it.

Looks much nicer now, heathaze and the rain but will need more playings to see the full extent
