Thx!

Hahahaha! That was a good try. I'll be online sooner or later to try it out. I need you guys to get your skills up first so that I'm not completely bored, just semi bored! :p

Nice shot.

I wonder how Crysis compares to COD4?

Crysis certainly looks way better if one has the rig for it. I'm in about half way of the game and the story is average, IMO. Cant tell how the latter part of the game is. :hmm:

We will put it this way - The game changes about 2/3rds the way through. I'd like to spoil the story for you, but figured I'd better not, at least not till its been out for a while. I'll just say this, the Navy...

I found COD4 SP great it's like the previous cod games - "fast" action extreme, Im yet to play the SP of crysis so can't say which is better. The sniper rifle in COD4 works well theres a sniper mission where you and another sniper have to take out the enemy while waiting for the heli to arrive - when you fire that sniper rifle man i could feel those bullets connecting with their heads :lol: COD4 SP is a bit on the short side though.

Theres a gamers made patch for crysis for old PC's limit AMD 2400, 2gigs ram 6600 or ATI 9600 rigs where this patch will enable the game to run in high to very high on older rigs. Ive haven't tried it as no need to with main PC but might if i ever install the game on the older one.

Problem i find it is still using Shader Module 3.0, not 4.0. Its impossible to force Dx10 API on a system with Dx9 software, let alone pre-dx10 hardware. It may look pretty, but its not true dx10 shaders.

I dont know if your allowed to put up rapidshare links in here anyone want to try it out PM me

k - Give me time here. I've finially made stage 6 play nice with my system - I can still use Xvid to do my encodings, and Stage 6 likes them now for some reason - probably because I never used any non Divx compatible Xvid settings for the encodings. You get less quality on the encoding, but the vid still looks good. With Xvid, I have full control over the compression ratio's of the I / P / B frames - something I don't like to give up.

I'll repost that town attack vid in a minute. Still uploading. This time you get full FPS and full detail (barely noticeable compression blocks, but I had to put a cap on the file size so I cut the file size into 1/2 what it originally was).

PS. Kiwi - use some Very High settings on DX9 - works fine if you can handle it.

I'm sorry if this seems a bit off-topic , but I had to ask...especially since Crysis seems so cool.

At what settings will my rig be able to run Crysis? Here are the specifications :

AMD Athlon 64 3500+
2GB DDR RAM (PC3200)
Nvidia Geforce 8500GT

It will run it, but don't expect to push its graphical boundaries. You really need an 8800 GT or higher end ATI to get the most out of it.

Finished converting then uploading to Stage 6. This looks a little better (understatment - a lot better!) now: http://stage6.divx.com/user/xman11/v...ack-gone-wrong!

PS. Here is the sundown using the Very high gradients in both water and light - http://stage6.divx.com/user/xman11/v...down-in-Crysis

I have pretty much identical rig, expect I have the GF8800 and I can run it on medium settings to get decent FPS, ~20 or slightly over it.

Even with a 8800 you can only manage at medium settings? Wow , and I thought the 8800 could run anything at Max. details.

I get ~20fps on some parts of the game with high settings, but when there's lots of action it tends to drop to 10 or so.

That is brutal, Dowly. I have a Core2Duo 2,4ghz, 2Gb DDr2 and a 8800GTS 320MB. I run Crysis at high (except shadows on low or medium, cant remember) at 1280x1024 and get 30-45 fps. (sometimes dips into the 20`s)

Subman: Thanks! The first track is from the DaVinci Code OST, the second from King Arthur OST, and the last from Hannibal OST. All by Zimmer.

Zimmer sure knows how to compose good movie tracks! :up:

Yeah, I think Crysis runs better with a dual or quad core processor, because right now Im getting low FPS's on the game, probably caused by my old AMD 64 +2800. Im hoping to get a new proc. soon though.

You won't get any advatage for a quad core. A dual core will help though. Try turning down the in game physics - that is what is mostly effecting your CPU. That is why you will find a CPU test in the bin directory.

Well I'm thinking about getting an Intel dual core E2160 1.8GHz and just over-clocking it to 3GHz, that should give me the boost I need and at an insane price of 89$ its a steal for the OC performance.

I've got a Dual Core E6600 (IIRC) it's 2.4g with 2gb DDR2 and handles Crysis nicely. I did do what many people say is foolish and buy an 8800 Ultra though and that allows me to have all settings on very high. The auto detect settings even choose those settings, i love it!

No need to go overkill on the GFX card like me (i got it because i'm not married with kids and wanted it over a PS3..) but i'd suggest getting at least 2.4 ghz for a processor.
