CRYSIS vs. The Modern GPU (Part 1)

Why is the first benchmark run always giving lower FPS than subsequent runs? Is it because the level isn't cached yet? Given that the average player doesn't play the level through more than once we can expect even lower fps.

Most of the caching takes place in the first few seconds of the level loading, so it doesn't mean the FPS will be constantly lower when you're playing a level for the first time.

No I wouldn't go that far, it just shows that what people consider silky smooth can vary a great deal. This isn't an attempt to shame any of my fellow forum members but instead to take away any opinions at all and just look at bare fps facts. Personally I aim for 1920x1200with a minimum of 30fps and as much goodies as I can get away with, others may prefere an average of 30fps.

I also don't mind switching down resolutions to get the right balance!

good stuff wayne - i think that's an indication that SLI'd GT's are the way to go for 1920x1200 action unless you want to play on medium.

Thanks marscay, for the way I like a game to play I tend to agree with you, from some early results I have seen this game does scale well using SLI, now the only problem I have is not owning a SLI compatible motherboard! :o

Only criticism is that all the graphs should be the same scale. Otherwise great demonstration from a real life user

Well so do I, in nearly all games anything below 30fps is unplayable for me... Crysis however seems completely different.
