I have 1GB of DDR1 RAM is it possible to gain access to Crysis ultra high settings?

Hi Guys,

With my 1GB i am playing Crysis and i cannot switch on ultra high details i heard you need 2GB of RAM minimum to be able to switch ultra high detail on, is this true?

I hard somebody made a patch, it was not official from the makers of crysis but it allowed you to play in ultra high without needing 2GB of ram minimum, is this true? I heard it was a patch or a script file you add to the game file folder.

please anyone know of this?

TIA

... You need a TOP end system to run cryisis anywhere near that high...

dvdbunny · 14 Jan 2008 at 22:32

my system is pretty top end but on a budget

theres no way it would be playable on 1gb of RAM i wouldnt of thought so its a bit of a pointless exercise

dvdbunny · 14 Jan 2008 at 22:38

it is trust me, i am currently running it on a dual core with 1gb ddr1 ram, 512MB 8800GT, in high detail, at 1600x1050 with 8xaf and 4xFSAA and i am getting like 50 frames per second without the FSAA and AF it's way above 60 frames per second. I plan on getting more Ram so i can run it in ultra high detail. my gaming pc costs under £500 new excluding monitor and included vat and delivery. this is pretty top end on a low budget.

When I played on high settings it used up to 1.5 gb ram in xp !
You need vista to play on ultra high settings .

In all serious though, I'm thinking you either have settings in place that you think are other settings, because there is no chance on earth you are getting that. I'm on a 8800 GTS, Q6600, running a lower resolution and with no AA or AF and I'm getting about 40 fps in high with post processing at medium. So 50 - 60 FPS on a lesser spec'd machine, using a higher resolution, half the RAM and with anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering is just not happening

Ignore him and he'll go away. He's just craving a little attention. I think we all know he's talking BS.

So you're running a S939 Athlon 64 X2...and getting that performance?

Are you sure you're not looking at seconds per frame?

Now there's a thought

im intreagued as i barely manage an average of 35fps on a 2.6ghz c2d 2gb of ddr2 and an oc'd 8800gt @1280x1024 with no aa atall

dvdbunny · 15 Jan 2008 at 01:10

Look guys i am not messing around with you,

Now if you have read all my previous threads i am not the type to go seeking attention of any sorts.

I was actually wrong with the whole 50 frames per second, sorry about that. I think It's doing about 30 fps but from playing it, it is incredibly smooth i really must install fraps and get a real speed test. I checked the menu options and it actually says the game is running at 1280x720 in high detail. I have not chose an AA and AF inside the menu options but it's automatically on inside the nvidia drivers menu. the framerate is really very good i have to say, i don't pick up any slow down only climbing mountains, and also one little flicker in a cut scene, apart from that it's simply incredible.

Anyway you know if there is a patch to get ultra high settings working without needing 2 GB of ram minimum?

TIA
