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

dvdbunny · 15 Jan 2008 at 14:10

well i have the advent 9107 and as i am away from my gaming PC i did an internet search for the motherboard and found the asus one i posted, maybe that's not the one. I will have to check once i get onto my gaming PC, i may infact have 1GB DDR2 RAM.

Well i searched for p55d2 and the only result that came up was on e-bay. Asus have no recollection of that model on their site.

look guys, it was not my intention to turn this into some flame war. I was just pointing out that my system can run crysis very well indeed and that people who are desperately wanting to play this game wouldn't have to buy such an expensive rig. I am away from my computer and won't be using for at least till sometime next week, but i will show you the results.

I have never used fraps, how does that work. Is that only for recording the fps? If i want to record direct source video of me playing it and accessing the game menus to show up in the video, how can i do this. Wouldn't recording the direct source of me playing the game cause a big slow down?

Oh and to anyone thinking AA is not on, it is, there are absolutely no jaggies on any objects in the game, everything is flush. When your in the jungle you can wipe out a whole bunch of trees and there is no slow down and as well each leaf you can see is AA. I have every effect on High and it works flawless.

Is AA enabled in the GAME menu, or nVidia drivers menu?

Because afaik enabling AA in the drivers menu doesnt affect ingame, I may be wrong.

Please do not right this thread off, give me sometime and i will prove to you i am telling you guys the truth. The purpose of this thread was to know about RAM for a upgrade for crysis. At the same time i wanted to make people aware that you can run crysis on awesome graphic details on a budget system and i will prove to you all it's possible. I am sure i am getting over 30 fps because i was doing some reading reading up on different gaming sites looking at benchmarks and they all say the game still runs in 27 fps which is unplayable and i tell you when i play it's so playable that i want to play all day. So that means it's definitely running over 30 fps how much over i need to do some benchmarking of my own.

I can tell you that depth of field is amazing, and the blur from when you move quickly, it's breathtaking. Explosions on high are all right i would like to run in ultra high settings.

shauncr91 · 15 Jan 2008 at 14:42

Well I run with 2GB RAM and I can access 'Very High' settings. But from what I was aware of, you only need DX10 to get to 'Very High'.

Screnshoots are required as your credibility is currently lower than the Northern Rock share price.

if i remember rightly isn`t fraps in the bin32 folder of crisis you can do a frame rate test from there.

30 FPS !!!

Your were spouting 50 - 60 FPS in earlier posts! You can bang as much RAM as you want in your rig I am telling you now you are not running Crysis at the resolution you say you are and AA and AF and getting the FPS you say.

When you get near this supercomputer of yours again, try enabling it in-game and THEN telling us its smooth

instead of flaming me, why don't you guys just tell me how i can capture direct source video of me playing it. I am running it in 1680x1050 can i actually make a video that has that resolution, so when you guys watch it, it will look on your computers like exactly how i am playing it in full screen.

Will this hinder the frame rate capturing video?

TIA

Use FRAPS.

I am waiting for...

Doesn't work.
Ruined my FPS
Too big to upload
Ah lost the demo
Space monkeys ate my PC

Screenshots and benchmark results please, forget video evidence unless you have the resources to upload a huge file.

dvdbunny · 15 Jan 2008 at 16:19

Well i could probably make re-encode a big video into a 70MB file for 3 minutes of footage in divx or xvid and upload to site like mega upload. But in the end this will probably be quite time consuming. Just tell me this, like one the posters above said is fraps definitely included inside the crysis win 32 game folder after installation. I have the full game.

TIA

Fraps captures come out at about 5 megs a second or soemthing stupid... So full raw video is impossible.

Just run the bench test, and screenshot your desktop.

Slinwagh · 15 Jan 2008 at 16:23

Just run the Crysis benchmark tool for a start!!!

I want to ask am i right in thinking that the 512 MB Nvidia 8800GT is a Direct X10 card? Can it do Direct X10.1 and above? is that even out yet?

I heard you need 2GB of RAM minimum to run crysis in very high settings and Direct X10 card which is why your able to run it, i only have 1GB of RAM which is why in the menu options i cannot choose from very high settings in the drop down box. So i am here hoping to find the answer, i want to buy another stick of 1GB RAM or just get 2x2GB sticks of RAM. But then somebody said you can only run very high settings in 64 bit Vista, but your saying it runs fine on yours, is your computer running XP?

thanks in advance

Press tab and type:

r_displayinfo=1

1GB is no good to run crysis at all in windows vista or XP.

I've benchmarked Crysis on various settings so any results that are way out compared to mine or anyone elses means they are rubbish tbh, check the crysis benchmark thread, depending on specs everyone results are fine, what you try and say does not fit.
