crysis & xp = bad?

Techguy10101 · 24-12-2007, 02:51 PM

i have a Geforce 8800 ultra, i load up crysis and i optimal settings, it puts everything on high, but AA is off ... ???

so obviously with the card i have, i go 16Qx and it lags ... eh?

is this just a really good graphic game (i doubt it) or a dx10 problem

or is it my g-card ?

any info on this would be good, i would like to get the best performance out of the card, thanks

From what I understand this is just a really good graphics game. It is designed for the next generation of hardware. It uses a brand new engine for tomorrow's hardware, so I guess that is your answer. My friend was telling me that a test rig with maxed out hardware (SLI 8800s, quad core, gigs upon gigs of RAM) would not run it at max settings. I'm still not sure if I believe him but I do believe that a single 8800 Ultra will not run it at max.

yea, i have a asus striker extreme mobo, core 2 quad Q6600 2.81ghz processor (overclocked) 4gb of ram, i see ther is a very high setting lol, which amazes me..

however, you may be right as i have read they're making 3 way SLI

You gaming at the 24" native res? If so, you would be lucky to get 2xaa totally smooth, AA is a killer, lets hope the patch helps

. On your crysis shortcut, right click it and click properties, add -DX9 at the end of Target to improve fps, DX10 brings nothing new to the table in this game.

Nice rig BTW.

alright, i'll see if this helps

yes i am running it 1920x1200, currently running all games that support it (counter strike source, F.E.A.R, etc)

hm, yea i am playing with AA off and i still lag at some parts, but its not major...

thanks man, this rig makes everyone here jealous lol

I have a similar rig and run this game fine on 8x aa.

Techguy10101 · 27-12-2007, 10:51 PM

yea i can go 8xaa, but will lag at more parts than when its off

i came to the decision of playing it on medium, it still looks good & i don't lag, i guess you have to go 1 setting lower than the default.

8xAA is not working properly then because 8xAA is unplayable, infact 4xAA is even, had a long argument on this on another forum were some guy rekons he was running 16xAA when no one can actually run 2xaa smoothly through the whole game.
