Crysis SP Demo GPU Benchmark Thread

[perox]

lol i just can't see how!! We're all doing the GPU benchmark yea and not the CPU one ?

Yea, GPU bench, dunno what your doing but teach me!

lol i dunno..i'm trying these latest drivers now. Its a real mystery....! installing 169.04's atm

What makes you think that? just because the number is less than 30 dont mean its unplayable, also say at 25fps, it does not feel laggy, feels more like 30.

Hi Will, I enjoyed reading your posts last week as you were excitedly waiting for the 8800GT release!

I think it was infectious because a few days later I was also getting a bit hot and flustered lol.

Anyway regarding my prefered minimum 30fps . . . .

When I play a great game like Crysis there needs to be certain conditions met before I switch off and 'get in the game' (become immersed).

The visual quality is important because if you got lame graphics your brain is saying 'this is a computer game'. The same is true for motion, any 'stutters' or 'pausing' I stop being immersed and start thinking of computer hardware etc.

I can see where games are heading, photo realistic graphics, widescreen, motion blur, HDR, its pretty much a cinema experience.

So 30fps is a good minimum framerate for me, helps keep me in the zone and certainly improves my aim!

hah weird..installed the latest nvidia (beta )drivers and i'm now getting benchmarks consistant with what i should be getting for a GTS..yet the performance ingame seems 3-4fps up in any given situation. Must have just been a bug

hah weird..installed the latest [BETA] nvidia drivers

ForceWare 169.02 WHQL are still the latest drivers folks!

If you refere to BETA drivers please don't forget to mention that fact. . .

Hmmm I see now, I guess if you want to be immersed you got a point.

Is it just me or was the Crysis MP Beta higher detail on high settings than the SP Demo?

Yup i wanna be immersed and enjoying myself, sadly its always a trade-off between graphic quality and framerate. It's very handy when a game has its own benchmark built in and the Crysis one is pretty good actually. If only it could accept batch commands like. . .

Quality: Medium
Resolution: 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1680x1050, 1920x1200

Then click and walk off leaving the benches running

Anyway I'd rather have the Crysis benchmark app as it is over no app at all because that takes a lot longer to get the graphics tweaked just so.

I have been deleting the contents of:

"C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis SP Demo\Game\Levels\island\benchmark_gpu.log"

and then running the batches by myself, at the resolutions mentioned above, then when its done I have been opening the test files and manually entering the info from it into a MS Excel spreadsheet to average the four seperate results. Once I have finished a set of runs I delete that text file so the data is always fresh.

Edit: I've got two sets of results now from the HD 2900XT and the new 8800GT, the main difference is that the 8800Gt has let me switch up from 1680x1050 to 1920x1200, all other settings the same and all above 30fps minimum.
