CRYSIS vs. The Modern GPU (Part 1)

silversurfer · 26 Nov 2007 at 21:56

Dont think Im reading that wrong, straxusii's 8800gt gets 45fps and my card got an average 42

Not sure whats causing it but at those settings it seems to do just as well

The 1800xt got 13fps less, my card is the 8600gts which is another 10fps higher. I should have made it clearer, the top quote is big wayne and the other quotes are copy and paste from my test of the 8600gts

Effect of overclocking 8800gt with crysis (with volt mod :eek:

)

A benchmark with custom settings doesnt really allow us to compare performance..

Big.Wayne · 26 Nov 2007 at 22:21

Nice to see people taking the time to share their results, just one thing though it would make for easier comparison in this thread if you bench at either *All Medium* or *All High* :cool:

[edit] lol silversurfer beat me to it by 17 seconds!

Also if you have an X-Fi just leave audio settings at high throughout.

What settings do you have your card in Nvida control panel as with 16xAF and quality settings I get 29 fps with my 8800GT 750/1758/1950 card

Quality / 0AF

PowerDemon · 26 Nov 2007 at 23:42

Aint the pixel and texture fillrates a bit low on this 8800GT card? on my 7900GT they are much higher.

GPU-Z is wrong, its 33.6

Sir Random · 27 Nov 2007 at 13:10

How does the GT perform @ 1920x1200, High settings & No AA in the carrier level?

I just played through the deck fight, and according to Rivatuner my video memory usage was:

Local memory (gfx card): 677Mb
Non-Local memory (system): 36Mb (It seems to use system mem all the time, even at the menu screens?)

Total video memory: 713Mb (This was a constant 713Mb usage, not peaking at 713Mb)

My fps dropped into the teens during heavy action, but I still didn't have to reduce any settings to make it playable. (GTX @ 600/2000 C2D @ 3.2Ghz)

Surely a 512Mb card (or less) must be pausing/stuttering at that resolution and settings, even with no AA?

Cooper · 27 Nov 2007 at 16:26

I was thinking about a new Pc in Jan/feb time, would i be right in thinking that there isnt a Pc out there that can play Crysis at 1680x1050 High Detail with 4xAA and maintain a framerate at ALL times of over 50fps?.

Low frame rates in FPS's make me ill with motion sickness..

How long before such a frame rate is possible are we talking?.

Nope not even with no AA all high you can maintain at all times at over 50fps, not even at 1280x1024, have you even tried crysis as at 30fps it really is not as bad as other games.

Big.Wayne · 27 Nov 2007 at 16:38

Some new results in from fornowagain, comparing Crysis over a number of different operating systems!

Sir Random · 27 Nov 2007 at 17:45

Looks like XP is the OS for Crysis.

Maybe SP1 will help sort out the major Vista drawbacks.

I'm not very optimistic at the prospect of SP1 for Vista actually improving performance, SP1 seemed to offer no improvements for me, maybe a few minor adjustments but nothing in terms of gaming performance, but then again SP1 is ages from release so it might be different.

That's what I thought when I first looked at the results, but look again and u can see its actually DX10 and not Vista. DX9 codepath run under Vista produces very similar results to DX9 on Windows XP.

There is extra DX10 eye candy (so I read and am told) being rendered there, that seems to be the reason for the lower FPS.

You've got both extremes there, any chance you could try 1024x768 with it set to high quality just so I can compare it to my card
