Crysis 3 performance

Good thing I ditched my Core i3 2100 a while back. Crysis3 shows how weak they will be with new engines,so I still don't understand why people think are fantastic?? People were having a go at me for recommending a FX6300 over a Core i3,despite me having had experience with both in newer games.

The FX6300 is even matching a Core i5 too.

Because one is called Intel and the Other AMD, and its a CPU.

A lot of people are conditioned to think Intel = always win and can do anything, AMD = always loose and can do nothing.

Which is fine, those with their independent minds intact can save themselves a lot of money on a very fast CPU.

Looking at these slides, i'm reconsidering not getting AMD CPU solution this round, with Steamroller still a year off...

Close to £100 cheaper than an i7 3770K and marginally faster, if more games start taking advantage of this architecture, the more its some serious win.

Good to see a properly multi-thread optimised engine at work. ALL CPUs benefit from this, not just AMDs.

More GE titles please.

SOE and Bethesda (and possibly others) please take note!

This game is not a beast, it runs on xbox 360 7 years old hardware.

It is easy to allow users to change the game config to make the game unplayable. There won't be great visual improvement though. You only get a real visual improvement with a new engine, new game, new technology. Not by cranking up settings. That on;y makes minor cosmetic difference.

lol

Xbox games are optimized for the hardware, therefore the graphics, physics and particles are greatly reduced.

It's amazing what can happen when you actually engage with the devs.

So true Tommy. Maybe they're finally getting their act together in that regard.

What settings can I expect to run on my 4.3ghz 2500k and GTX480? This is at 1920x1200.

I hope so, it looks like the Gaming Evolved program is reaping rewards and started making some headway, not only in the gpu dept, but looking like the cpu dept too.

They just need to keep up with it and not let it dwindle, like they usually do.

Won't the Nvidia configathingamyjigadooda tell you what you want to know?

IvanDobskey · 21 Feb 2013 at 13:51

No idea what that is

I'm guessing my setup should be ok for high?

It also means that when properly optimised AMD have not actually gone backwards in the CPU department, look at the yawning gap between the FX-8350 and thie old P-II x6 dragging up the rear, its a 35% performance difference

Having said that, Bulldozer, is still looking rather sorry for its self, Piledriver; what a way to fix it.

Can't wait to see what Steamroller does.

The AMD cpu names are getting silly.

I bet the next one will be called SlamDunk.

If they ever call one 'The Saville' they will never get any of my money ever again.

I'm glad it was only in the bin and not properly deleted. Otherwise OCUK would be telling you they sent it and you'd be like "nah!"
