Speculated Crysis Performance - ATI & Nvidia Cards

[jrodga2k5]

Clearly guesses, everything drops by like 5,10,15 fps!

Plus speculative performance which will probably be way off anyways, what the guy is doing is "guessing" that the x2900xt(sorry extra x lol) will run faster than the 8800GTX, he doesnt know and is thus guessing.

I would love to see proper benchies but that will be a long while off

At first I thought it was a load of tutt,

I see you're an apprentice fan like me

i told everyone i will get 80+ maybe 100 of fps and nobody believed in me

I Wonder why?

Quake4 running at 1280*1024 4xAA Ultra already uses 616MB of video RAM, I seriously suspect that games in the future will utilize 1GB of video RAM.

But Quake 4 at the ultra setting is a totally pointless and inefficient use of memory; all they did was pile in uncompressed textures and normal maps with virtually no gain in image quality.

True, but STALKER running 1280*1024 noAA Full Dynamic Lighting uses 514MB memory so it's not just Quake4 that uses a lot of memory.

How does Quake 4 use this much memory, aint it just because these games are unoptimized they use loads more memory? I mean even on Ultra I did not think the textures in Quake 4 were that brilliant tbh.

As flibby said, Ultra = uncompressed textures, I think compressing textures makes them 2-3 times smaller with very little difference in quality.
