Official Crysis Demo thread

10% CPU time & 10fps on 8800GTX at v-high 1360x768 (30% less than 1280x1024)

Maybe the graphics card after the 9800 will run this game at 60fps :D

tried it on high when i first downloaded the demo, 18fps, have to stick it on mostly medium, shaders, shadows and post processing to low @ 1680x1050 no aa to get a decent rate. 80fps at best in more intense areas it hits the 20's was the best compromise of looks and speed i could get.
 
Just played this and plays better in DX9 mode than DX10 on the same settings (all high except post processing which is set to medium) was very laggy and stuttery in DX10 whereas much smother in DX9. Still impressed with it though and it looks good in high DX9 so will definately be buying.

PP IS the one you want to be putting on high (I think it's that one which makes a massive difference to lighting from medium to high) Much rather have that high then textures, shadows etc
 
What's hapening with everyones systems? i'm running it x64 DX10 all settings on Very high and there's no discernable stuttering? am i missing out on something?
 
I have been playing on high (DX9 only here) at 1152x864 with no AA and its more than playable. Granted it does get a be stuttery during extreme fights. And i mean extreme, like blowing up all the buildings at once whilst killing the koreans.

Im finding it more than playable, and it probably is at 30fps, but i dont mind, Crysis plays differently than other games at 30fps. Its probably something to do with the motion blur, cause i barely notice it at that low-mid frame rate.
 
Isn't Post Processing related to Motion Blur?

Yeah, Darn my bad, it's shaders at medium which cause the lighting to go really bad. must have forgot to switch it back to medium when I was trying each one on high. PP is for motion blur ya, a bit much at high but I like it.
 
Turning PP to low helped my fps by as much as 10

Average at least 30 now 1280x1024 DX9 XP Everything else Ultra

Its very nice, i like!
 
Has anyone found a way up the cliffs yet so you can explore more of the island?
I saw a screenshot on one of the sites posted earlier of a birdseye view of the island taken from a high up vantage point. I loved exploring in Far Cry, its fun!

A devine being slaughters you if you stray too far from the evil Koreans.
 
Possbily been said before, but when i install the demo on vista i only get limited amount of resolutions, not half as many as in XP? I dont get the option to run it in 1440x900?
Same for everyone? Thanks!
