Tri-SLI benchmarked

Possibly as the 4200 is lower than a 4400 and a 4600, and I had a OC version.

The FX5000 range were all a POS, the story goes they were broken for DX9 and ran all in DX8.1 Mode the same as all TI G-Force 4's (only TI's were DX8.1, all others were DX8.

Cheers helmutcheese.

I vaguely remember hearing some thing like that.
That would be why it looks so much better now on a 8800 then.
 
According to the CEO BS throughout the year it should have ran well, (please go and read I cant be bothered repeating).

If they got the CPU useage up for us that it dont seem to use anywhere near enough CPU, then it would run better, thats what the Patches are for to fix bugs.

Im glad the game failed at awards and I will play it through some day after 1 or 2 patches, got plenty of other good games to complete first.

NO ITS NOT, your another one that did not read the CEO's interviews, the GAME ia about CPU, then CGU then RAM.

You want to read, either Google for Crysis Interviews or do same here under my name, I have posted most of the BS he fed public.

I'm not really bothered if the CEO said it runs faster on a rig in a nice pink case - it doesn't make it true. Crytek may have said that the game would be CPU-dependent, but the SLI benchmarks above clearly prove that it's not, as does the experience of almost everyone playing it. I was getting severe slowdown on the tank level, which I'd expect to be quite heavy on the CPU - lots of vehicles, collisions, enemies. I turned the graphics settings down to medium and it was silky smooth.

How do you explain the above benchmarks if the GPUs are waiting for the CPU? You've admitted yourself that the CEO's claims were BS.

Crysis isn't the best optimised game out, but when you look at the sheer amount of graphical detail being rendered on high settings, you can see why it brings even 8800s to their knees.

Thats because he Game has issues, you not understand this ?.

If you're asking me if I understand why people keep whining about their FPS in Crysis, then no, I don't understand it.

Look at the game. Graphically it is leagues ahead of anything else released. This is the main reason why FPS is so poor on high settings. Are there any other popular games out which seriously stress the 8800 series? Crytek are pushing things forward. Yes, Crysis is flawed, but what incentive would there be for nVidia to develop the 9-series if the 8-series could play every game on the market maxed? Nobody would buy it.

Crysis is flawed because it's ground-breaking. It's games like Crysis which push the industry forward. nVidia have released more drivers since Crysis came out than they did in the previous six months. For us, as technology enthusiasts, one game like Crysis is better than five games based on the same UT3 engine, etc.

Jeebus, even with three Ultras they can only manage 37 FPS in Crysis on high with 1x AA. :eek:

Well that's all you're going to get with any 8800 card (or less, natch :p)

We gotta wait for the monster cards in Feb for above those fps number performance because they're /made/ for dx10 whereas 8800 just /supports/ it the same way the geforce fx supported dx9 but ran it poorly (obviously not on the exact same levels as an fx but as an example the same recycle of events).

If triple sli 8800 looks tasty imagine what 1 9800GTX is going to be like.

Look at the FPS though, even if they are parp

2 cards = 83% increase.
3 cards = additional 40%

Maybe there are issues elsewhere, which is no doubt likely, but you can't be saying that it's not a GPU dependent game when that's the case?

Also, 900watts constant use? THat's like running a microwave constantly! :eek:

With that kind of power usage, just...why! You'd only benefit in Crysis since a single GT eats every other game but we all know how much GPU power matters to Crysis and I'm sure everyone can wait a few months til GF9 is out.

You realise if it were up to crytek they still wouldnt have released crysis because there was still lots to do to it BUT EA made them release crysis earlier even if the game is slow and buggy. EA just wanted the money before christmas so they forced crytek to release it no matter what stage it was at. I for one blame EA :mad:
 
Yes I totally forgot about that too. EA have been a bunch of ***** for a long time now :/

The game uses 1 of my Cores at 40% MAX is the reason I get crap FPS, I get no difference in FPS with the GPU UC/ Stock or OC, so the CPU issue is there for me and all over the Crysis Forums.

Yep, and nearly single driver release from NV has offered:

a) no discernible performance increase in Crysis
b) introduction of new bugs, or issues with rendering - Crysis being the point in question
c) Any real stability improvements, in fact there are normally a number of folk on here who experience more blue screens.

In short NVidia aren't too fussed about quality in their releases, the drivers are being churned out to add support for the GTs and new GTSs. NVidia have the performance crown as it stands so they're not bothered about improvements.

Crytek NEED to be held to their word, we're still waiting on a patch that is supposed to provide performance improvements - this was promised 7-14 days after the game's release. It's still nowhere to be seen, nor has any additional commentary from the "grab the money and run" CEO.

Who's the lass in your sig? Boing... :)
 
@ randal24 To be fair and you did touch on it, the Nvidia and Crysis Dual interview we all seen, well Nvidia came up with a Driver for Crysis and in the read me it states it needs the upcoming Patch from Crysis, so Nvidia have kept their word.

Crysis CEO has told us BS over the coarse of 1 year and now.

At a total guess I would say its been 20+ days and the patch is well late.

Actually, yep you do have a point there fella. They did fix the bug that they introduced :D
