What did I do?

Read this http://www.tweakguides.com/Crysis_13.html

Put everything on high, then add the "very high on the cheap" commands to System.cfg or autoexec.cfg (either one needs to be created in C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis\Game\Config) or even in the target line of your shortcut. Select your native resolution, leave AA turned off (oooooobviously, FSAA kills anything in it's path)

You do not need SLI to run this smoothly. I do because of my behemoth resolution, but 1920x1200 should run just fine on a GTX or Ultra. 1680x1050 should be fine with a GT, and anything below its a walk in the park.

This is the best way to run Crysis folks. Hope you enjoy.

Very nice. I wonder how Crysis would run on 2 3870's overclocked on a Q6600 @ 3.6/3.8GHz

wow chaos, I was parting together my new rig today and it was almost identical to yours. Good taste brother ;) looking forward to the tests.

in 1920 * 1200 and a 8800gtx, how many fps have you ?

medium/1680x1050 8800GTS i get average 20fps

X2 4200+ @ 2600mhz with 4x512mb TCCE 2-3-3-6-2T @ 234mhz and X1950XTX at stock averages about 25fps playing through the demo.. have not run a benchmark on it yet.

1680x1050 all options left on medium.

not alot i get 21 fps runnnig 2048x1536 settings ALL med aa\af OFF and 34fps running 1920 x 1200.sli is needed.my specs are in my sig. 8800gtx stock, e6600 at 3.6ghz.

wow thats a nice res.

you should add this to a config, or just type in a console though to clean up the brush a bit

useedgeaa 2

makes trees, grass much sharper, and doesnt hog frames.

r_UseEdgeAA 1

e_vegetation_static_instancing 1

20 fps region still way too slow to play it.

Also, the island level isn't as taxing as the trailing levels.

Youd be in the 10fps area after island is done.

Wait till you get to the last big scene. It's murder on your frame rate.

I get 45 FPS @ Med, 1680x1050. Shows what a Core 2 Duo can do for you.

Big jump, but what frequencies do you run?.

Your CPU is definately pushing you back on that,

I get 27FPS on high, but thats with a quad core (1680x1050)

Im gaming at 1920 x 1200

All setting very high > fps 10-20
All setting high > fps 20-30
All setting medium > fps 30+

This game is definitely GPU bound at higher resolutions.

with Ultra at stock and E6850 at 3.9 I was averaging 25+/-5 FPS with high settings at 1620x1200, AA off. Very playable, but little slow in some heavy fights.

Dropping my E6850 to 3.0, I might have lost 1 FPS average, or just my imagination, hard to call such small change.

OC'ed my Ultra to 712/1805/1150 (E6850 3.9). I was expecting only about 3-4 FPS gain, but increased to 33-35 FPS, sometimes up to 45, and no slowing in even larger fights.

Then added the very high settings for XP, (except turning off edge AA) and now back down to 26-28 FPS most of time. Wishing now I had flashed my core speed even little faster, still had some room on that, though memory if increase 2 more notches it artifacts.

i play it with everything on high with an overclocked X1900XTX at 1600X1200 and it plays very well. No AA is the trick, but with higher resolutions its not bad...

Whoa, insane res. Nice pics.

I still don't understand how people play it with no AA...........

When you set AA to no-AA, the game automatically enables something called "edge-AA", which blurs all edges slightly, removing some the the jaggies... But it's no "true" AA... Still, it makes the picture far more pleasant than no AA at all...

Have most of you been running it on WinXP or Vista? Curious as I have both OSs installed on a dual-boot config and was wondering which one to load Crysis on. Thx.

haha, high res!

There is a slight chance taht I wont fall dead if I try and run it, because I can only go to 1280x1024. bwuhahahahaaaa

:)

lol w/ an x1600 i wouldnt say that ;)

and 20+ fps doesnt look too bad in crysis at all... i was somewhere in that ballpark on the xp modded very high setting and the game looked just fine to me... the only part i was actually really stuttering at was at the very end on the ship.. jesus.. just craziness

My system runs in Vista.. at 1280x720 and between high and very high (shaders, water and textures if not mistaken are Very High) and get roughly 30FPS in most area's. Cut scenes are typically in the 20's, and that last scene... well 15-20FPS if I was lucky. On the ship deck it was in the mid to high 20's though.

Its a system killer, wish I could figure out why 64-bit doesn't run nicely on my system when trying Crysis out.

XP, 1680x1050, high detail, high quality, gamma aa off, lod clamp in driver panel and even in the first couple levels, I find myself thinking I need to lower some settings/res. :(

Hey, I can not get that "Very High" on DX9 trick to work, im in Vista 64bit. Whenever I try to save the notepad file the guide has you change, it says it cannot save the file, and to make sure the path is correct. The damn path is fine, this is pissing me off.

Im trying to do the first one the guide explains, not the "Cheap Very high"

bump. I need help with this ^^

It may be because you're already on Vista. These tricks are designed to run Dx9 close to dx10 settings (even the cheap very high). Since you're already on dx10. They might not work properly. Why don't you play with your settings in very high and try to turn some of them off while leaving the most efective ones on.

No, you can run DX9 in vista, you just right click the Crysis icon.

I could really use some help on this tonight. If any of the 6 people viewiing this section have anything to say, please do. I cant find anything on this problem.

Try like that:
- Set the in-game settings to high
- Create a file named System.cfg at the root of the Crysis folder.
- Add the variables you want to set in the file system.cfg as they appears in the others .cfg files.

Thats the cheap version. I want the one were I can set everything to very high while running in DX9 mode.

But I did try the cheap version, and I cant make a "Text" file under the crysis directory, I can just make a normal "New folder" there is no option for "New>text document" This is really maddening.

Coming from someone that's ran Vista x86 and x64 on 4GB/SLI GT's, you're looking for Windows XP. And even on XP, I can't run those settings on 1680x1050.

I can run DX10 on high with shaders and post processing (The most relevant DX10 features) on very high and 1600 x 1200 & it runs fine. I can play DX9 on vista easily with all high.

Oh and I found the filefront DX9 very high hack that just comes with all the CFG text files already altered, and you just replace them. Much easier. it worked great.


edit: When I play in DX9 now, with the Filefront "very high in DX9" hack, or workaround, or w/e you want to call it, it locks up my computer after a certain amount of time playing. It runs perfectly, but then will randomly just freeze, and lock up & I will have to restart my computer. Any ideas??

Well, considering that the pixels are the same size on your screen no matter what size they were on his screen, naturally, you will be able to see jaggies... Look at how big the screenshot is... If the resolution and the screen-size scale proportionatly, the jaggies don't get less ;)
Why do you think people playing at high res's still use AA?
