Official Crysis Demo thread

I can't run any higher than medium settings on my C2D 3.2Ghz and 8800GTS 640MB, while the grahics are decent on medium I wouldn't rate them any higher than Bioshock tbh, which is quite dissapointing.

 

[Darshiva]

Do you still have to run this through the sandbox editor or does it work correctly now ?

 

[bfar]

I've experianced a lot of bugs here AA not working, crashes at startup, shader corruption, poor performance etc.

It looks pretty good, but I don't really have the patience for all that carry on. I might just wait till xmas Seriously!

 

[rome87]

are you guys running this on direct x 10 ?
seems to run really bad even with latest drivers

 

[HAz]

1 hr to go, cant wait

 

[Coolasmoo]

What rig?

Probrably 8800gtx sli or LIE

i get shadowy imprints of things ive just looked at on the screen...going to try new crysis drivers now....

 

[Greenboi]

ive played it and i get over 55fps most of the time, dipped to 35ish when i got to the pink flare and looked at the trees but as soon as the flare went off screen my fps shot back up to 70ish!

Shaders on medium, post processing on low, everything else on high, 1280x1024, 320mb GTS, 2.8ghz c2d 2gb ram, very impressed!

Edit: This was with the new crysis drivers btw.

Just a quick question ... does this run better than the multiplayer beta or worse?

 

[Gerard]

The new crysis driver seemed to affect the foliage, anything in the distace had a white edging to it which was very noticable Also performance went down for me when using them, could barely break 20fps.

On high id say about the same, very high though just lays a kicking into your system, like 15fps maybe edging to 20 now and again.

 

[SixDemons]

Has anybody successfully installed the Sandbox2? It says I have insufficient privileges when I try.

Downloaded and installing now,
rig: e6600@ 3.2 // 2gb OCZ // 640mb 8800GTS
res: 1440x900
os: vista 32bit
Using 169.71 beta driver (not the new ones) I will report back in half an hour or so.

Ok, so just played on all High with 4xAA, not 100% smooth in some big battle moments but pretty nice and playable on the whole, I'm happy.

Didnt bother with fraps, as many are saying it feels smooth even when fraps goes abit low.

Ps. I also believe even though very high is selectable its not actually on the demo for those saying they are using it.

Well just finshed it. Using the opimised settings it set them all to high which I thought was a bit opimistic so I lowerd the shadows to medium as I have heard they were a killer.

As it loaded up it was running amazing could not see very much slow down at all but as soon as I got into a firefight it just slowed way down with big drops. I would say in the firefights in was boarding on unplayable.

Going to try running it again but this time with fraps running just to get a better idea.

 

[Greenboi]

Anyone ran the benchmarks yet? I just ran the CPU one and got 51fps

 

[Fuzz]

any particular recommendations for a quick driver update before this finishes it's download
HIS ATI Radeon X1950 pro 512MB

Suppose it's finally time to lose my other monitors and fire up crossfire.

 

[Shadowness]

Where's the benchmarks?
I ran fraps and I was getting 25-40ish fps on high settings (rig below)

 

[Dark88]

downloading now anyone played this demo and CoD4? how do they compare? Is crysis streets ahead?

 

[Greenboi]

Benchmarks are in the Bin32 folder in the crysis directory.

CPU i got 51FPS with one loop through
GPU i got 61FPS On the second loop

Edit: With 12xAF
