What cards are you guys running to get good performance with max settings in crysis? and is the patch thats promised going to fix low frame rates?
 
Well good performance could mean anything in Crysis. Max setting in XP with all config tweaks on a GTX is fine for me @ 1680x1080.

Good performance is subjective.

The minimum graphics card requirement for a given frame rate will depend very much on what resolution you intend to run the game at. An GeForce 7800 will probably give you an excellent frame rate with graphics on max at 640x480.

Depends on OS, resolution, AA, desired framerate etc. I got what I would consider 'good performance' on my 8800 GT 512 mb under XP on high at 1280*960 0xAA on my 21" CRT. I doubt the patch will improve performance dramatically.
 
If you want to run the game at the very highest settings dx10 then you will need next gen kit to run at decent fps.Heres a vid of a guy with high end pc running the benchmark at different resolutions http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=PSI9nvIXaF4 also note that he is using xp so if you want to use vista dx10 very high settings expect much lower fps than he gets with xp.Look at my rig i cant run crysis very high at playable frame rates.Here is the anantech review of the 3 card sli ultras with a 3.3 gig quadcore at high setting not very high and they only get fps in the 40s http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3183&p=3 and thats not maxed out and they had 3 ultras.

I just completed the game on a R600 at 800/999 running at 1280x1024 all high.

Stutters in a few places, but generally perfectly playable.
 
I'm one of these people who's going to wait for the next generation of hardware so I can experience Crysis on maximum DirectX 10 detail with solid performance. I have the view that there is no point playing a PC game if you don't play with the full eye candy.
 
8800 gtx in SLI might be helpful:D
Well thats what i have and a qx6800 closked to 3.6 and i cant run very high detail 1660x1050 with out visable slowdown.I played it with all setting on high but even then parts of the game with bring those settings to its knees.

me too. 30-40fps is unplayable if it's a 1st person shooter. Just ruins the game for me.
 
Just to get playable performance with ultra high settings at a decent res you need atleast an 8800GT SLI, 8800GTS SLI would be better... wouldn't bother with GTX or Ultra SLI as I doubt you'd see any performance gains over a GTS SLI.
 
Using a custom config file I have a mixture of high and very high (probably mostly high) settings and the game looks very good, still the best looking game I've ever seen. I get an average of 30fps at 1680x1050. With Post Processing enabled the game looks surprisingly smooth at lower frame rates. 25 is very playbe and 30 feels as smooth as 40+ would in other games.
 
Just played the demo in the rig in the sig.

Textures medium, everything else medium/max

1680x1050, No AA (wouldnt turn on in game)

got mainly over 30fps, but when they blew up the building behind me it went to low 20's, high teens
 
Hiya all, first post.

First thanks to everyone - been lurking here for months checking the views on gfx cards resulting in Santa leaving me a Gainward GTS 512 on Xmas morning. Very nice jump from the 7900GT :)

In answer to this post I just ran the built in benchmark in Crysis and on my rig (E6600 with no o/c, 2GB 667, WinXP Pro and the above card) the result is copied/pasted below. Hope it makes sense and hope it helps.

!TimeDemo Run 1 Finished.
Play Time: 52.58s, Average FPS: 38.04

Don't know if the benchmark uses its own settings or mine so FYI mine are everything on high at 1680x1050. I've turned off motion blur only in the config file. No other tweaking yet.


Now... OT but how do you do sigs? :o
