Crysis 2 being re-designed for GTX580

[Andrew LB]

Something seriously wrong with thoses benchmark .. 1st, the benchmark is not available with the patch, Crytek have annonce they have remove it cause it was need some rework .. 2) this site explain they have got the update and game by EA and the update is not the final version.. but when i said wrong.. how the 580 loose 13fps DX9>DX11 average and minimal, and the 6970 loose only 3fps ( DX9>11 1920x1080 ) ?? ( understand i don't say that for the scores of AMD, but for the drop for the 580 ....)

I'm running a GTX570 and with everything on Ultra, DX11, 16xAF, 8xCSAA (forced override) @ 1920x1200, my frame rates are well over 30fps. Very smooth and beautiful.

I just wish Crytek added an option where you can have AA and AF, I tried forcing it via the NVIDIA Control Panel and it didn't work, but other than that DX11 looks nice, though it feels kinda choppy but with my setup I'm getting FPS over 60 most of the time with all the highest settings available.

Well.... 6 hours later I decided to peel myself away from playing Crysis 2 with DX11 + ultra texture pack and WOW!!!

I must admit I was skeptical of Crytek releasing a 'patch' to add DX11 and high resolution textures, because no company that I can recall has ever truly delivered an upgrade that completely changed a games experience. To my astonishment, Crytek truly did deliver a fan-f*cking-tastic patch that made me completely forget to report back to you guys on how it was.

The detail on EVERYTHING is greatly enhanced. lighting, shadows, dust and debris, explosions, etc are ALL better. In some cases they were completely different from what I remember from playing it through only a month ago.

Lemme take some screenshots of it with everything maxed. brb.

To further back this up Watch this video. Looking a hell of a lot better and much more interaction, but its still no Crysis or Warhead IMO.

Seriously? 8xAA at that res? Overkill much? bring it down to 4xAA and enjoy a faster FPS shooter

^ Not strictly true. Remember how Crysis by default only used 256MB vRAM even on cards with more than that so you had to make a cfg file change? Same might be true here.

Hmm interesting....we need to investigate

Any idea on how to make this custom config?

Anyone wanna try adjusting vram?

to force AA and AF use nvidiaInspector

Thats good to know!! (Also use 1920 x 1200) Although i see your GTX570 is OC'D to 900mhz

Im picking up a gtx270 this weekend hopefully it OC's well.

Don't know what file it would be for C2, I don't own the game and had no intention of even sneezing in its direction until some good vids / screens were available for the DX11 stuff. C2 looks a lot better in most areas for it, but it still doesn't look anywhere near as good as Crysis or Warhead IMO, especially when it comes to the fires, physics and foliage. People seem to very easily forget theres the "enthusiast" setting for Crysis and Warhead, and when used in both games even on most current systems at a standard res of 1680*1050 FPS still falls to ~40FPS and the graphical difference is noticable when switching to "enthusiast" from "gamer".

That was a myth.. Crysis never used only 256mb of VRAM, how silly would that be for developers to implement such limitations?

Crysis 2 DX11 Ultra has the VRAM on my 580s pegged almost the entire time, and this is without a cfg.

Not a myth. Crysis was pegged to 256MB in my cfg file when I played it on my old X1950Pro 512MB way back when. Got something like a 5FPS boost when I edited the cfg to 512MB.
