What specs would you need for a 1920x1280 output at decent performance? Is there even such a computer that exists?!

Im using a Dell 24" (1920x1200) res screen, and on the demo I could happily play on high settings. I cant say anything about the retail version coz im still waiting for it!!!!! :mad:
My spec is in my sig (the E6600 is OC'd to 3Ghz at the mo)
 
Anyone else finding this a let down. It really isn that good, apart from the graphics, the gameplay is just plain rubbish. AI is shot to pieces and there are so many niggly bugs its not funny. Stoiry is about as crap as it gets as well. Really dissappointed. But hey at least its nice to look at, shame about the gameplay.

please, guys on topic.

if you have pirated it, don't post, if you have the retail copy, feel free to post whatever, aslong as if questioned you can provide proof you own the retail copy.

please keep this to game discussion, not whinging :) (not aimed at you cyber-mav)

what difficulty level are you playing it at? if it's anything below delta then yes, things like the AI will be 'worse' it's still far better than most other games.
 
Can i just say CPU does help FPS with a high end card, i have a core 2 due 2Gz and got an average 10fps more when i overclocked it to 3Ghz, just thought id pop that in as CPU dosnt get mentioned that much.

Mmm, Im playing it on normal (the default I think). so this may be the reason, but it shouldnt be reason enough.

Ive no doubt I will play it all the way through, but I cant help but think it wont live up to the hype (aside the graphics).

I will reserve final judgement to the end, but I ahve played many better FPS's and unfortunately atm I dont think Crysis is anywhere near the top 5. Such a shame.

i don't think any game lives up to its hype.

unfortunately the only games on PC that seem to be good nower days are those which take less than 3 years to release, and no one hears about it till the demo is out. unfortunatly they showcased a lot of stuff that they then took out. for what it is though it is a damn good game, from just the demo it's right up in the top 5 for me, mind you i like the innovative games more than the bog standard ones (ie i think my favorite FPS is TF2 :p)

are there any cheats for this game? such as god mode? and infinite suit power would be interesting to mess around with.

open up console with the ` key, type con_restrict 0 then type g_godmode 1 i'm pretty sure that's that makes you invincible, as for infinite suite energy, it's in some cfg file.

Edit-

It's in the difficulty CFG's. This is my modified CFG(from the demo atleast) that gives infinite suit energy from the demo file difficulty_easy.cfg located in Crysis/Game/Config:

-- EASY

-- AI Detection speed
ai_SOMSpeedRelaxed = 1.2
ai_SOMSpeedCombat = 0.3

-- Alive time
ai_RODAliveTime = 5.0
ai_RODMoveInc = 1.3
ai_RODStanceInc = 1.0
ai_RODDirInc = 1.0
ai_RODAmbientFireInc = 2.0
ai_RODKillZoneInc = -2.0

-- AI fire reaction time
ai_RODReactionTime = 0.2
ai_RODReactionDistInc = 0.1
ai_RODReactionLeanInc = 0.2
ai_RODReactionDirInc = 1.0

-- Cover fire time modifier (cover fire time specified in weapon)
ai_RODCoverFireTimeMod = 1.0

-- ROD ranges - percents of attackRange AI property
ai_RODKillRangeMod = 0.2
ai_RODCombatRangeMod = 0.6

-- Ambient fire, enemies not in the quota cannot hit the player.
ai_AmbientFireUpdateInterval = 0.5
ai_AmbientFireQuota = 2

-- Low health effect duration and health threshold
ai_RODLowHealthMercyTime = 2.5
g_playerLowHealthThreshold = 40

-- AI voice readability
ai_UseAlternativeReadability = 1

-- Player Health/Energy/Suit
g_suitCloakEnergyDrainAdjuster = 0
g_suitRecoilEnergyCost = 0
g_suitSpeedEnergyConsumption = 0
g_suitSpeedMult = 1.00

g_suitArmorHealthValue = 100.0
g_playerSuitArmorModeHealthRegenTime = 0
g_playerSuitArmorModeHealthRegenTimeMoving = 0
g_playerSuitHealthRegenTime = 0
g_playerSuitHealthRegenTimeMoving = 0
g_playerSuitHealthRegenDelay = 0.00

g_playerSuitEnergyRechargeTimeArmor = 0
g_playerSuitEnergyRechargeTimeArmorMoving = 0
g_playerSuitEnergyRechargeTime = 0
g_playerSuitEnergyRechargeDelay = 0.0

g_playerHealthValue = 200.0

g_difficultyLevel = 1
v_driverControlledMountedGuns = 1

hi, for me the demo ran fine on 32bit vista, ive just upgraded my mobo and ram and everything recently and also 64bit vista, will i be able to run it or not?

Ive heard people with 64bit vista being about to run it out of bin32 or soemthing, but does that not use 4gb of ram and stuff?
 
Well I tried a load of tweaks on the demo last night. I don't think I can get around upgrading my graphics card but I still had some fairly promising results. I found the trick was to set everything to medium except shaders, physics and post processing (which I left at high). After that I quit and and applied my custom System.cfg.

I can get HDR, sun beams and paralax mapping and manage gameplay at around 15-21 fps. Trouble is I can't bring myself to turn the settings down any more :(

Would be ineteresting to see what sort of performance increase is available on retail and with the first patch, but if you want the game to look really good then it looks like the wallet is going to have to come out.
