make sure you have the windows vista video management update as it makes the world of differnts in vista! did when i installed it anyway runs on high at 1680x1050

I think I installed that last night, but i'll double check after work. This evening I'll install the demo to my xp drive and see if it runs any better in xp.

There is problems for users using Vista like lower fps, Crytek know this and say that its not officially supported yet, so if your using the beta, use XP.

Dont know about you guys but i found putting shaders on medium gave me a massive performance boost, sure some textures lose detail but it still looks mint, i think the game overall looks better with shaders on medium, its less glowy and more realistic IMHO.

I think theres a known issue with shaders on certain graphics cards, 8800s included i believe, where its not using the power that your graphics card can handle.. not entirely positive on this though.

so how does a 8800gts 320 run this? thinking of getting one is it worth it.just wondering whether to get a 7900gtx 512mb for 117.00 new(save some cash for next new nvidia range )or get a 8800 320mb now ..what res and settings/fps should i get.

It's good to see them releasing a beta now - should fix a lot of problems come release.

I'd worry about the performance issues though. If the demo runs poorly, it will put a lot of people off running the game.

What is the rest of your system like? Going by the poor performance of my 8800GTX, i'd be doubtful of the GTS handling the game too well tbh. Although this might be issues with my system.

It is only a beta, and it's 2 months ahead of release too, so things ought to improve.

I run it on high at 1152×864 with 4xAA and get on average 40fps outside and 60+fps inside. Thats with the specs in sig and my 8800GTS OC'ed at 620/930. This is on XP aswell.

EDIT: This is also with Sun Rays enabled in the config.

Agreed. I do hope things improve before release.

This game hates high resolutions then, same settings I get 20-30fps with an average of about 23fps at 1680x1050. I don't have sun rays enabled though and AA doesn't work.

Its the GPU's hitting their VRAM limit because of a shader error mentioned above. If you put shaders to medium, it runs smooth as butter.

EDIT: To get AA to work, you need to change the resolution at the same time as changing the AA. So change AA to 4x and change the resolution to something like 1280x1024 and then click apply. It should work after that.

hmmmm..... looks very border line.thinking more of online fps as more important need at least 60 or its get owned by the noob time

I'll give it a try, thanks, but I get 30-45fps with all on medium which is still unacceptable.

Yeah I aim for 60fps constant with vsync on when online in an FPS.

I have vsync disabled for this Crysis beta though, no way do I expect vsync and this game to behave.

Are you running Vista or XP?

Windows XP MCE, completely patched up and with the latest beta drivers.
