[SOLVED] Crysis 20 - 22 frames

-Joe- · 10-27-2009, 04:32 PM

hey guys,
its been awhile since ive been on this forum.... i have a pc issue, I'm hoping u guys may be able to provide insight...
cheers

I recently put together a new pc... these are the parts:

Intel Core 17 860 - Processor
Gagabyte p55-UD3P - Motherboard
Kingston Hyperx DDR3 1666 MHZ 6 GB - Ram
CoolerMaster extreme power plus 650 Watts - Psu
XFX GTX260 Black edition - Video Card
2 Sata 3.5 HHD (ones 320 GB and the other 160GB)
The 320 GB HHD is runing windows 7 64 Bit Ultimate

And now for the Problem or maybe its just me
I tested crysis (the first 1) and on the first level it only hits a FPS of 20 to 22!! the Settings Are (Very High) no anti aliasing - Resolution is on 1680 by 1050. Thanks For reading Hope to Hear from Whoever soon
Joe!

Hi joe and welcome back.

Have you tried running on lower settings?

Phædrus2401 · 10-27-2009, 05:02 PM

That sounds about right for a GTX260. If you want higher framerates either lower the graphics detail settings or lower the resolution.

Zealex · 10-27-2009, 05:07 PM

I personally would keep the resolution, unless it needs to be vise verse. I don't remember crysis settings in the back of my head. But follow up on Phædrus2401 and my advice and report back if it works or not. Remember crisis is a very demanding game.

-Joe- · 10-27-2009, 05:10 PM

Well no, i was so perturbed i quit the game... hehe.
ill give it a go and if it runs better? what then? Perhaps the game is not a multi threaded app?

Simply run the game at a lower resolution, 1024x 720 is a good one, you can run it with AA x2 or x4 if you wish at that resolution.

Phædrus2401 · 10-27-2009, 05:40 PM

Crysis is only dual-threaded, so it doesn't really benefit from a quad core. But the main limiting factor here is your graphics card. The GTX260 is nice, but it isn't powerful enough to play games like Crysis on the highest settings at a resolution as high as 1680x1050.

moppy89 · 10-27-2009, 06:01 PM

If you want to play at that kind of detail level, you shoulda bought a 5870 :P

-Joe- · 10-27-2009, 06:09 PM

Yeeesh man that hurts

well i have one thing to say to you!
ITS NOT TO LATE FOR ME, I CAN GET ANOTHER I TELL YOU!
hehe... perhaps SLI? or not, if i was going to upgrade the card what should i get?

You can get a GTX 300 if you want. When they come out, that is.

Zealex · 10-27-2009, 06:37 PM

If you want to get a cheaper card go for the new ati cards. I believe they are 5750, 5770, 5850 and 5870. The 5750 and 5770 are around 150-170 I think then the 5850 and 5870 two, almost three hundred.

**RockmasteR** · 10-27-2009, 06:57 PM

1680 x 1050 is a very high resolution
try 1440 x 900
when you said very high settings, of course you are using dx10
Crysis can be played at 25+ fps due to it's special shaders etc..
but of course 30 fps+ is better
try some settings at High like the shadows and the shaders

Phædrus2401 · 10-27-2009, 07:51 PM

The Radeon 5750 and 5770 wouldn't be a real upgrade, the 5770 gets about the same performance as the 4870, and thus the GTX260. The 5850 would be a step up, though, and the 5870 is the strongest card on the market right now.

-Joe- · 10-27-2009, 08:35 PM

Thankyou all for the advice heres some of the things i tried as u instructed:
Lowering Resolution FPS went up into the 40s!! mostly around 35 -38ish
Lowering settings (HIGH) also made it go at 31 - 34ish but maintained the original res
soo ill probably just play it at lower res....

I was thinking about getting an ATI card but ill hang on to this one untill Nvidia releases their DX11 cards and discuss with you guys which one 2 purchase.

Thankyou all again for your help!
JOe

Great to hear this is solved! Please mark this thread as solved in thread tools.

**Aus_Karlos** · 10-28-2009, 01:13 AM

Try running the game in DirectX 9 (Vista + DX10 card = Crysis defaults to DX10). Even on my 2x GTX280 i get no more than 40fps on directX 10. DX10 for Crysis is poorly coded into the game.

To run Crysis in DX9 mode create a new shortcut to the desktop, in the Target line add -dx9 after everything else.

-Joe- · 10-28-2009, 02:51 AM

cool, thanks for the tip!
