Crysis!

i get pretty solid frame-rate on my 4870X2 at 1080P with custom settings, i think the standard configs are just rubbish period, they seem to loose performance all over the place, plus they don't even look that great. also i found RAM makes quite a difference in crysis, as i found out when one of my modules died and crysis 'felt' very different. also for maximum settings, etc. you don't need anything close to 60FPS, sorry people but with crysis its not needed, anything ~35FPS is perfectly fine as long as it doesn't dip too much.
would personally create a new config. file for DX9, save yourself some frames/second and have it look better, all at the same time!

Yes, it might not be smooth in jungle or explosion scenes. However, I haven't gotten very far in the game and as of yet have not seen huge explosions or lots of jungle
For me so far, 25fps is smooth and 20fps has been very playable. Obviously other people will have different experiences of this game, and therefore some will not agree while others will.
tbh i've ran 9800gtx's in sli 275's in sli and a 4870x2 and nothing comes close to the performance off one 470 is is so smooth as the minimum fps are so high all the other set ups felt jerky as fps would dip randomly running at 1080p full settings no AA btw

i agree with that statement, though wouldn't like to go down as low as 20FPS, for me 25 ~ 30FPS is perfectly acceptable in crysis, though in any other game it feels absolutely shocking theres something about the way crysis plays that negates the overall low framerate. but 25 ~ 30FPS in very high with standard settings could be something like 30 ~ 40FPS in my experience with an entirely custom setting. HDR seems to increase the frame-rate rather weirdly for me, and 2xAA seems to have no impact on performance either, also get some decent gains telling the engine to run different things on different CPU cores for example, disabling streaming, buffering the levels, etc. there are loads of gains to be had over the normal settings, just requires patience and a lot of 'field-testing'
Well, here we go. I knocked together a 1 minute piece of footage of crysis on my rig. Running everything Very high, 1920x1080, x8aa etc. also running a very high detailed mod.
The fps is in the top right hand corner so you can watch it for yourself (you may need to watch it full screen or on the larger window on youtube itself as the writing is small), I also benchmarked the framerate as I was recording and for the duration of this clip the results were Min13fps / Max35fps / Avg20.318fps
According to you redstarriot, 25fps is a slideshow, therefor my 20fps average should be a slideshow in slow motion. I'd also say this is pretty dense jungle which again, according to you, wont run smoothly at 20fps. So if you could just point out to me which bit of this video is the slideshow I'd appreciate it, because I'm struggling to find it.
Bearing in mind this is 20fps average, and a 5770 is benchmarked as getting 24fps at 1680x1050 I'd say a 5770 is more than capable.

A youtube video does not prove anything though. For a start it's an online, streamed video which is always naff quality.
You can video and challenge people to find the slide show part of it all you like, but the fact remains that you got a minimum of 13fps and an average of 20. My personal opinion is that 20fps is terrible, I couldn't pay at that. Maybe you're different but I couldn't.

The quality of the video makes no difference, even though it's 720p which is actually pretty decent.
Actually, the fact remains that the video shows a 20fps average at a very smooth and perfectly acceptable, if not good, level of playability. Again, I'd like to ask you to point out the so 'terrible' part of the video that stutters and lags because it's running at a lowly 20fps.
If it's as terrible as you say, then surely you can point out a couple of places in the video where this shows.
No response from redstarriot I notice.

Crysis is playable on 2 512mb 4770's in crossfire, which aren't much quicker than a stock 5770, and that has the advantage of more vram.
This is using the lite version of Jmanrob's Extreme Quality 1.34 config, resized from 1680x1050 :
Running the 4770's in x16-x4 ( Asus P7P55D ), so missing out a bit of performance. My i5@4ghz helps a bit, so the op's cpu will be a problem.

Why do I need to point anything out to you? Your mind is clearly made up. Anyway as I've already said, it's the whole video. You can't compare watching a video and playing a game anyway! It's taking no input from me, no reactions, no thinking and no decision making. All I see is a compressed and streamed output from your screen.
Bringing a video into this discussion is completely pointless IMO. It shows that the fps seems fairly smooth and that it doesn't stop anywhere, but that doesn't tell me how playable it is because I'm not playing it.
Well I can't do any more than provide video proof and benchmarks.
All I've seen so far is fps snobbery and claims without anything to back it up. We have one person claiming you need 60fps and a gtx480 to get acceptable results, another refuting videos showing smooth 20fps rates and 5770s maxing the game.
I've provided benchmarks and videos showing that infact, a 5770 can run crysis very nicely indeed, and all I've heard is 'it can't and I have nothing to back it up but it can't because i said it can't'.
