Crysis 3 performance
- Thread starter rankftw
- Start date
Shame I'd need to replace my psu with a nuclear power plant
Looks like I'd need to spend a lot of money to get a big difference in performance though.
Sell 480, buy 670? Maybe £100 spend if you get £100 for your 480

Been offered £75 from a mate for the 480, but a 670 is £275. Trying to justify a £200 outlay for only 35% performance increase

£75 is uber cheap! I sold a 2Gb 5870 for £100 about 4 months ago, and felt it could have gone for a little more.
A 480 is about 15% quicker, but I suppose does have less vram and greater heat and power issues.
Still £100 at the minimum I reckon.
Soldato
Yeah, I know I could get a little more, but mates rates and all that 
It's more the cost of the new card that's tough to justify. Money isn't an issue but I need to justify any frivolous purchase in my mind before pushing the buy button
Eying up that MSI 670 for £275 though...

Same issue wait until you get to the third or fourth level, pretty much 60 FPS solid for the rest of the game. Just those first few levels are pretty hard to run.

Ok i finished the entire game on max settings with txaa x4 on and i have to say i had flawless performance.
Bare in mind my res is 1920x1080 i'm using 2 gtx 670 ftw edition.
I was getting on average 63 fps with lowest being 51 fps and highest being 91 fps.
I also try'd it on max at 5760x1080 and was getting around 24 FPS but i knocked it down to high and was getting around 46 FPS.
Hope this helps if people don't have the game yet and have 2 gtx 670's.

No idea where you found one for that price as OCUK is the cheapest I can find a 670 currently. And that's the MSI for £275.
Is rather buy from overclockers than some shonkey fly by night eBay shop
Windforce SLI 670 here and I'm finding TXAA is an absolute FPS killer. I can max it on the other aliasing settings but with TXAA it refuses to go past 40 fps @ 1080p! It's even more demanding than 4xMSAA!
What's with that?! I got the same FPS from a single windforce so it's as if it's not utilising my second card, but the usage indicates it is!
Crysis 3 patch available now via origin if anyone wanted to know, no changelog posted yet

Forgot to say 2nd hand. Not too fussed if comes with warranty and everything
Soldato
Hmm, £230 sounds pricey for second hand to be honest. I guess it would still be covered by the manufacturer warranty wise though. I'd rather pay £45 more for a brand new MSI.

Thanks Hammi. 
Is the game supposed to be set in a giant greenhouse?
Lol!

Indeed it is, never seen such "live" motion graphics in a game before. All the blades of grass blowing in the wind, the textures on the buildings. Screen shots just don't do it justice.
I am dying like everyone else whilst sight seeing and not "playing" the game

Nope, my mates were in awe when i showed them screenshots last night over Skype, granted Photobucket shrinks the screenshots but i told them it looks better when you're in the game obviously, despite they were impressed anyway.
On another note. I had to turn Shading, Shadows and Objects to high, but that allowed me to use TXAA High, so i'm happy with that.
If i was forced down to medium settings then i would have gone for an upgrade.

I have a good 3930 OC to 4.8 and a OC 7950. So meaty 6 core processor with 32GB RAM
All of my settings are on Very high with MSAA set up. Not sure on frame rates, but certainly playable on solo campaign. Playing on 1920x1080 on my Asus IPS monitor.
