Crysis 2 - Maximum + G-Sync

Dirk Diggler · 7 Mar 2015 at 14:21

Any ideas on how to get this smooth with the rig in my sig? Gsync or Vsync result in 20fps, and switching them off results in a bit of a screen tear fest.

Have also disabled SLI but it makes no difference.

:confused:

Disabled DX11 and it works with Gsync now and hits 100+ frames but I suppose it's a poor compromise.

Runs great on my 780Ti SLI set up and gsynd Rog Swift. I'm running the MaldoHD 4 mod if that helps, so it's maximum maximum, and looks amazing (haven't run this game since getting the swift).

Oddly it maxes out at 100fps locked, even though I set the Rog to 120hz. But that's more than enough and it's lovely and smooth, with no SLI gsync stutter that a few games seem to exhibit.

With DX11 enabled, it's maxing out at 24fps. With DX11 disabled, it's maxing out at 120fps.

I'll try that mod and see if that helps.

I never got it working properly with Vsync enabled. Always felt laggy as hell even though my FPS with it off was well above 60fps

Right, it's weird!

Load the game with Gsync, all ultra and DX11 enabled.
FPS is 24.
Change res from 2560*1440 to 1920*1080.
FPS is still 24.
Change res back to 2560*1440.

It then runs perfect, buttery smooth, Gsync 120fps awesomeness.

Now for that mod...

Very odd. Crysis 2 always was a bit twitchy I seem to recall.

You MUST use the MaldoHD mod. Makes it one of the best looking games ever, even today in my opinion.

Sounds like a bug. You shouldn't have to turn off dx11 or change resolution to get the frame rate your pc is capable of. At least you've found a fix though.

should not need to deal with silly bugs like that

, Installing Crysis 2 now to see if i can re create these issues with Gsync hopefully be able to help find a more perm fix for you.

Thanks.

well i managed to get the same issue, Locked exactly 24 FPS, weird. Now to try and find a solution !

FloppyPoppy · 7 Mar 2015 at 18:28

Ok so far the only way ive worked out to solve this is

Set the game to open in windowed mode - Alt + enter full screen it, then on the monitor change to 144hz. Now every time i launch i alt enter and its 144hz and the frame rate matches.

Dirk Diggler · 8 Mar 2015 at 16:46

I just load the game, and then go to switch resolution. When it asks me to confirm, I say no and all is good.

It's a cracking game, can't believe it's 4 years old. How the hell did 4 year old hardware run it!

As for the MaldoHDmod, do I have to apply that on every load? Makes the game look great BTW, but also makes Origin crash and quit when I exit the game.

Enjoying this so far. :cool:

have you tried gsync without vsync ?

I never use Vsync with Gsync, in the OP I meant that either of them produce the same result.
