The new drivers caused it to stutter so went back to the 163.75's
bah, i can't even try this. sound stutters like crazy even on the menu. looks like i might have to install xp.(currently have vista32/audigy2)
looks like it was a vista/audigy problem. installed xp and the sound is ok. i also noticed there are some timedemo thingies in
\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis SP Demo\Bin32
my results with a measly pentium m @ 2.6ghz/1950pro agp @ stock/2gb ram
all details on medium, 1440x900, no aa/af, CCC at default. it's not pretty.
gpu bench
cpu bench
Well looking at the CPU usage it seems I'm very GPU limited with a 320MB GTS, there's just not enough power in this card to run in DX10 mode smoothly - the CPU cores were all being utilised as Crytek had described (for physics stuff etc) and the fluidity/load times and lack of lag/stuttering prove that I have enough RAM and CPU power to handle this even on very high but my GFX card is just limiting the average FPS down to a paltry 20-30.
Need magic nvidia drivers or a 10.1 card, now!

Think I'm gonna wait for the next gen of cards to hit before bothering with this. The demo defaults to max settings on my rig but its no where near playable, which is only to be expected I guess. Could always turn a few settings down a notch or two but I'd rather wait a bit longer to play it in all its glory. Roll on 8900gtx.
The screenshot below was taken in dx9/xp on a q6600 @ 3.4ghz, 2gb cellshock, p5k deluxe and 8800gts 640mb. Not sure what the framerates were but they weren't what I'd call healthy, even at the low reso of my 26" sammy r8 - 1360 x 768.

I was playing on a x1950pro and used high detail with low res. Looks great, plays great and very involving.
Its certainly as good as the original
Im playing it on delta difficulty so its a bit extreme but still doable, classic moment is diving to the ground in the little hut with everything on the shelves getting blown to bits by the guy on a 50 cal outside.

Crysis demo performance and opinion.
it seems to run pretty good, i cant imagine how bad it runs on less than a GTX though. I cant see the fps but it seems semi-smooth, a little bit of tearing so i reckon it must be in the 40-50 fps range at a guess.
To be honest, the game looks good. But what stands out the most is the character models, the game world doesnt really impress me much.. i mean the rocks and stuff, look a bit bland. I was running on med settings though, i see no point in trying high because it will probably run poorly, the game is only just running smoothly on med settings as it is.
I'll probably enjoy SOF payback more than i would this game, thought ive only played around 10 min worth of the demo so far. Seems like its more of a tech showoff than an actual game, but thats just my opinion so far and i havent played much of it so im sure that will change.

Play it on high settings, fps isnt everything in fact this game seems more like MGS then CSS to me so frame rate is not so important.
Also do it on delta difficulty and take your time

Just tried this on my system in DX10 Mode and Vista 64
QX6700 @ 3.2
4GB Ram
8800GTX
Running everything on Max @ 1920 x 1200 and it runs pig slow getting between 2-12 fps
Anyone found a sweet spot yet with the settings at this res
