Crysis Configs for CrossFire

[Kai Robinson]

I've adapted the autoexec.cfg i was using for my 8800GT to my new 4850 crossfire setup, i get about 36fps on average.

Try it out and see what you think guys!

Crysis hates my 4850s.

I get another 4 FPS when I enable the second card. It's nonsense.

My average fps is hovering around 36-38 too, all settings on high, AA doesn't really make a difference. I think I already played with my config files, but I'll try this one when I get home, see if it makes a difference.

[Kai Robinson]

AA wont make a difference on that, simply as Parrallax Occlusion Mapping is enabled, so FSAA does bupkis.

Crysis hates my 4850's as well, but i've noticed a slight increase with the 8.8 beta's, so it could be drivers.

[Kai Robinson]

Okay, 45 people have viewed this thread....does anyone have any feedback?

[Kai Robinson]

I'm somewhat disappointed with the lack of feedback guys, so much so, i'll post you something to dribble over:

[Xello]

I'm gonna guess no one bothers with this game on crossfire

I'm wondering what numbers dual 4870x2's will have.

[mindspat]

I'm somewhat disappointed with the lack of feedback guys, so much so, i'll post you something to dribble over:

I'm playing Crysis in DX10 with an ASUS 9800 GT Ultimate with the core clocked to 820mhz. I've been thinking about getting a 4870x2 although prices haven't come down enough...

[Cooper]

Im getting minor frames increase running Crysis on CF, though the max FPS reported by built-in benchmark rises alot



That's Crysis 1.2.1, Vista x64 SP1, Cats 8.7

[disruptfam]

I'm so over crysis ...poor coding = fail

[Cooper]

r_MultiGPU=1

apart from that I don't see any setting in that config related to multiGPU

[Kai Robinson]

Well technically you could use it for SLI as well, or single card setups if you removed that r_multiGPU=1 line

I had tweaked it for best IQ/Gameplay possible with CF. I was getting improvements using the 8.8 beta's but they were buggy, so i'll wait for the release versions and try again.

[Zytek_Fan]

There's something much more deep in the coding that makes SLI work well and CrossFire suck...

heres my autoconfig.cfg

and i gota say my 9600gt looks a little better on this config than your screens

your bump mapping doesnt look too good.

and for those that care, Crysis Warhead Web site is live now, it will have a world exclusive video on friday

There's something much more deep in the coding that makes SLI work well and CrossFire suck...

Maybe its the hardware and the fact Sli is better.

[Omastar]

Fail.

[Zytek_Fan]

Maybe its the hardware and the fact Sli is better.

CrossFire scales A LOT better than SLI.
80 to 100%+ scaling infact. Compare to SLI's usual maximum of 60%

[Xello]

Maybe its the hardware and the fact Sli is better.

While that's a well thought out, concisely expressed argument, that clearly took alot of your time and effort to come up with, comments like that can only lead to comments like this:

CrossFire scales A LOT better than SLI.
80 to 100%+ scaling infact. Compare to SLI's usual maximum of 60%

Which in turn leads to comments like the original. Which in turn lead to... Getting this yet?

So it's best off not to start it in the first place.

this is all irrelevant, if you do not include the game you are talking about, the game in question we are talking about is crysis.

Crysis doesnt scale at all well on either hardware, until you start to use much higher resolutions. the 4870 in x-fire shows a 3-5 frame increase over a single card,

and Nvidia's effort seems to be a little better, but not much

so for someone like me that games on 1400 x 900 TFT, and plays crysis as my only game, then neither hardware in x-fire or SLI is an option for me

a single gpu solution would be the answer, maybe a single 4870 or a GTX280

its all about what its for, rather than what they do, if you get my meaning

[deathman20]

I used the natural mod and CC lvl4 or what ever that other mod people have been using is. Benchmark wise I can score 55FPS, ingame I get say around 40-45FPS. No other tweaks done to the game. No way I could score this using 1 card never tried a single card but might give it a whirl one day.

[Kai Robinson]

Tried using the CCC configs, they just looked pants to me, so i went back to my original config. The Natural Mod looks good though - nighttime is clear rather than washed out.

[Omastar]

It almost makes me want to say, "Crysis scales better on 9800GX2s than it ever did with SLI", but I won't. The fact is, I realize we have a ton of SLI fanboys here, as well as their apologists.

[melanko]

Crysis is old news.

Good for benching, not for actual gameplay.

[Kai Robinson]

In YOUR opinion. I *like* playing it. It's fun. Sometimes you need to set aside anything cerebral and just mow down a field of angry dudes.

roger that

enemy has a bunker, Echo 5

i gota say i love it when theres a heavy scirmish going on, and i bullet in there in a jeep, and run them down.

the look you get from your team who was fighting is pricless, you know the 'ok what now look'

for me, its my only game

my last only game was Jedi knight 2 (jedi outcast) multi-player, i plyed that for 7 years.
