Crysis 2 only DX9 - DX11 will be "later" with an update

[dacosta89]

Game definitely looks a lot better when you run it on extreme minus AA:

No, please. Put a larger image...
2500x1600 is huge...

But great graphics...

[Carfax]

My guess is the FSAA will be improved in the DirectX 11 patch.

So the rumor that no tessellation will be in the DX11 update is true then?

C'mon man, this is Xtremesystems. No one here should be using dial up

Here's some proper Crysis 2 benchmarks on a variety of video cards and CPUs:

Nvidia does quite well, as does the Core i7 processor.. And I finally found out the difference between Extreme and Very high.. Too bad that Extreme enables AA and blurs everything though..

GTX 580 beating the HD6990 means Crossfire is not running, which means AMD needs to release a CF profile or a new optimized driver.

just looking at 6970 vs 570 it seems that nvidia does have a slight edge

No, the rumor isn't true. Tessellation is NVidia's strong point, so if they're paying 2 million to add DX11 to crysis 2 why would they leave out the feature that they're faster than the competition at?

Seriously, I don't know where people come up with this stuff--but, it's almost embarrassing to read sometimes.

Upcoming Cats will give a boost in Crysis 2:

Crysis 2 is faster in the drivers I have that you guys don't yet and they fix the annoying HDR/Bloom flickering too. I dunno if they would beat the Nvidia card still as I don't have such a fancy CPU to test with, only a Phenom 2 940.

I doubt it, in fact my gut feeling that a lot of the DirectX11 content is already in the engine... just not enabled could very well be true.

All Users.

But seriously it looks like the game is really taking advantage of multiple cores... i.e. E8500 vs Q6600

And that is a good thing
Also see AMD yet again failing to compete with the mighty Intel.

somethings odd though with the cpu benchmark,

ahtlon x4 @3ghz is half the fps of phenom x4 @3.5ghz, the only difference is a few mhz and some L3

No one should have to maximize their browser window just to avoid having to scroll to read posts. I don't want to have to use all 2560x1600 of my monitor's resolution just to avoid scrolling because you don't understand how to post a thumbnailed 2560x1600 photo in the thread.

Thumbnails.

THUMBNAILS. Do you understand how they work?

why the hate bro. just use image zoom add-on in FF to make it smaller.

If all the AMD CPU were coming last then your statement would be true.

Don't confuse the term competing with wining.

Oh yes, THUMBNAILS! You mean these?

So because someone stands there bewildered at the concept of thumbnails for large resolution photos like they're f*cking magnets, we're supposed to install an add-on?

Yea ok, makes perfect sense.

Or just paste the Imageshack link. Christ, it's not that difficult a concept.

Eh, when reviewers will learn that AMD`s performance doesnt come only from cpu speed.That 1100T was on stock, so 2ghz northbridge.While it would easily do 3ghz.Which should put it roughly on par with bloomfields.

[Pontos]

Catalyst 11.3 is out now, and it includes a Crysis 2 CF profile

[Leopold Butters]

Does anyone have any benchmarks with eyefinity or surround?

All the CPUs in that test are at stock so that is a far comparison as if you OC anything on the AMD then you can also OC anything on the Intel.
