real game from demo crysis

adbp1 · 9 Jan 2008 at 19:18

Ive not been much of a gamer on pc as ive always played playstation, i went to a mates a while ago hes plaing call of duty on pc and i was amazed so he let me borrow a game, but it never really worked and crashed my system a few times so i gave up.
recently ive been playing the crysis demo with no probs so today went out and bought the full version.
WOW its amazing i thought the demo was good enough on graphics but the real deal is AMAZINGLY better.
all i need now is a new gfx card!!, i would love to see how this game is with full graphics.

good luck finding a graphics card that will run crysis in full detail

You can run it in full detail quite easily, you just cant use much(any) AA.

Not really

in my eyes full detail means as much AA as the game will do without being modded

The demo looks identical to the full game?!

1fps better, yes. Not much help when you're only going from 12 to 13fps in most cases really.

sorry? I get 25-30 unless you mean on highest settings

So your system can run COD but not Crysis?

you would need 3 nvidia 8800 ultras in sli to get over 50fps with AA on ultra high

so if you have about 5k to spend on that kind of system have fun

actually the demo has better DX9 graphics than the full game they toned them down so it would work better on more machines the DX10 are the same tho

i run on xp pro 32 with a custom config with a custom config unlocking all the dx10 goodies and run at 1600x1200 with 2xaa and run an average of 55 fps lol

although the only time it really slows down to about 35 is when either im looking right out over the island or ice lvl (but even then its average of 45)

very high or high settings?

it is possible yes to turn down 1 or 2 things and play on very high but generaly it looks nowhere near what very high should look like

even crytek have said its impossible to play crysis on very high with high fps on the current hardware, thats why it was built, to be a benchmark
