What would it take to get Crysis smooth @ 1920x1200?

+1 for truth
If it was re-coded ( this time not by tards ) , maybe it would be playable
They're damned if they do and they're damned if they don't - seriously - people moan that there aren't any decent engines being made these days and everything is based on a console port, and yet when a company makes an amazing engine that's years ahead of anything else, everyone moans. Jeez people 
Crysis is year and a half old game.
And it is STILL the BEST LOOKING GAME ON THE MARKET, throughout all platforms (yeah, including Killzone 2).I do not think it is coded poorly, it has just been made ahead of its time.
And the game itself is great, 85/100 from me...finished it once and now I am playing it again in 1920*1200 all high with DELTA difficulty - awesome experience!

I tend to agree, Crysis is a fantastic looking game and enjoyable, the level of detail blows any other game away in that department
Its just strange how Crysis Warhead can run on PCs at high/very high settings when Crysis cannot. They have done something to the coding to streamline it lol
Warhead had a lower view distance, or at least I thought so.

I'm surprised how so many people jump on the 'Crysis wasn't coded well' bandwagon. They seem to just spill it out like they know what they are talking about, when sadly they aint got a clue.
Crysis was coded well. Very well infact! If you look at its age and the hardware available when it first came out it stressed our rigs like nothing else before? Look how it stands up with even the latest releases of today on modern hardware. It was adead of its time basically which if your a true gamer you'll know how rare that happens.
Most people who had problems with Crysis were folk like us, 'Overclockers'. I know several people who don't overclock, bought Crysis and had 'NO' problems at all..
Overclockers are a tiny minority and because of the way we squeeze the most we can get out of our components it opens us up to instability to which we can be blind.
So many times people would whinge 'Crysis keeps crashing, its crap' and all they had to do was reduce their video or CPU OC a tiny bit to correct the issue? lol
Crysis is still the king. It deserves respect for what it is. Play it all the way through on hardware that will totally max it out and be constantly smooth and theres nothing to touch it really.
+1 for Crysis
-1 to the noodles who whinge about it lol

I like Crysis too - both of em. Though I really wanted to hold off playing it again til they brought out affordable (under £200) hardware that could run it very well on very high without AA at around 1920x1200.
The GTX 260 isn't capable of that is it? If it were, I'd probably dump my 4850, but I get the impression I wouldn't still be playing on just high. And please don't anyone tell me it shouldn't matter playing it between high or very high, it's simply what I want to be able to do if I were to upgrade.

Hmmm, both games run almost the same on my PC, plus I think they screwed up LoD setting in Warhead somehow, because the little objects (stones, leaves..) appear later than they did in Crysis, resulting in ugly pop-in.
I Played Warhead on full Enthusiast 1920 x 1200 on a single GTX260 without problems. I dropped it to 1680 x 1050 because I rarely notice when something isn't at EXACT native res when it comes to games and I prefer the FPS boost. My 8800GT SLI setup ran it even better.

Played it for about 10 mins and got bored! lol. At least it runs better than Crysis!
It WASN'T coded badly. Anyone who says otherwise is talking crap. Games such as COD use precalculated lightmaps to achieve higher FPS. The lighting in Crysis is entirely dynamic which is why it looks so awesome when it's at full settings.

My old rig Intel e6600 with hd4830 played Crysis on maximum settings at 50fps. Just a good combination.
Like currently I have a bad combination: i7 940 @ 4.2ghz with same gfx card as above, can only get crysis playable on medium settings :s. Similarly WoW is no longer completely smooth, had to turn some shader stuff off. I guess just match your cpu to your gfx card and you will be fine. No point in have a fast processor if you have a 3 year old gfx card.
