***** The Crysis 2 Thread *****

looks more than a subtle improvement to me

looks a great improvement - I'm impressed so far -e specially with the lighting and extra particle effects

Is it AMD cards that have had a massive performance hit?

It's still very playable with a GTX480 at 30-50fps whereas some of you 6970 users are getting below 30.

Would you consider this a driver issue?

ad say its a nvidia issue lol

 

[Geeman1979]

Anybody having problems with eyefinity with this new directx 11 patch? Its taking my monitors out of sync so I cant click on apply to adjust screen resolutions.

 

[mattjd]

I really like the reflections very realistic:

 

[WingZero30]

Wow!!

That does look impressive. Even the reflections in the headlights seem very subtle


Hehehe back to the true power of Cry Engine 3

Is anyone else getting an annoying sound playing when playing the game? Almost sounds like a piece of metal bouncing up and down on the spot constantly.

I caught a recording of it while watching a cell soldier ask a rifle if it was feeling ok...literally

i thought they said that this update would include a benchmark for crysis2 , did they change their minds as i cannot find it lol

not tried it on my 6970 as i am playing it on my gtx480 atm , any 6970 users confirm this ?

 

[Kurisu Makise]

bit late now iv already completed it, should have had DX11 at launch.

Anyone claiming they've not had a performance drop is lying to put it bluntly.

Was removed till a later date, i'll bet that nvidia want to optomise more before giving the nod for it to be released.

Yeah I see what you mean. It sounds distinct from background music but it may well be part of background music. Try going to different area where background music changes and see if you can still hear it. If not then it is probably only associated with that particular area

not much of one

gone from mid 40s to mid to upper 30s - so not too bad

 

[wolvers]

Anyone tried this update with xfire?

 

[WingZero30]

So what's the consensus with regards to DX11 then? Noticeable improvements and performance hit or not?

 

[Buckster]

noticeable improvements - definately

minor performance hit

I am on a 6950 with unlocked shader running at 950/1400 and the performance at 1920x1080 went from 60-70fps to 30-40 fps so a sizeable one.

I hope people get modding soon so we can have another natural mod as the current high res texture pack only seems to be affecting textures that had writing or pictures and vegetation.

Has anybody got to a part with debris floating in water yet to confirm whether that ghastly texture is either fixed or removed?

Yes much better tesselation, shadows, reflections its all pretty good its only the texture pack I am disappointed in but I would say it is worth the performance hit.

If unlocked 6950 is facing performance hits then I wonder how my overclocked 5850@900/1200 (5870 stock+) will handle this game

Just had a small session. Was fun

But that car looks ridiculous ^^
