Just curious what most people are getting running crysis with an 8800GTS and Vista 64 bit. I am getting constant 20 fps (FRAPS) outside with an 8800GTS 512 Q6600 @ 3.3GHZ 4GB Vista 64 bit. All settings are VERY HIGH (shadows High) 4X AA and 8X Aniso

4xAA lol,

have you not read anything about crysis and AA? they dont go together!

heres a tip, put post processing, particles and volumetric on high, go down to 2xAA and 4xAF and hey presto, 30fps!,

Either that, or leave settings as they are and take off the 4xAA, and hey pronto presto perfecto, 35fps!

I can get the same without the AA and Ansio but all on very high. When I do a mix of qualities (most important like shaders on very high and the such) I get better.

not complaining about the 20 fps. i just want to know what most people are getting with very high settings.

What resolution are you guys using?

I get 18-26 FPS with Very High at 1400x900. Honestly, as soon as I turn AA the FPS drops so I just play without it. The highest smoothest resolution I get is 1366 x 768(1.0 MP) which gives me a steady 22-30 FPS.

Other than the videocard, I pretty much have the same system as mrmraye (Look at my signature).

1280 X 1024 is the res.

I see...well technically,
1650x1050 = 1732500 pixels (which I get low:13 - High 24 FPS - Avg: 19)
1280x1024 = 1310720 pixels (which I get low:15 - High 26 FPS - Avg: 22)
1400x900 = 1260000 pixels (which I get low:18 - High 29 FPS - Avg: 24)
1366x768 = 1049088 pixels (which I get low:22 - High 42 FPS - Avg: 28)

Nota: I benchmarked my FPS on the first animation from where the plane shows up in the sky until the player jumps out of the airplane. I figured it reprensents well the hardest performance sections of the game.

**Edited: I don't use the GPU test because I find the results misleading. You get much better results in the GPU test than what you would get playing through all the levels which is overpromising**

So yeah, I get about the same FPS as you under these conditions.

Very high is unplayable, all high can be unplayable too....

With these settings below....

I am getting these results...

As you can see by adjusting some levels to medium, others to very high and some to high you can play Crysis @ 50 fps @ 1680 by 1050 on a decent rig.... ( bench is for the first level before you drive the jeep)

Specs

Q6700 @ 3.20ghz
8800gtx @ 623/1000

13.1k on 3d Mark 2006 at those settings

You're right, but we can all get good FPS with medium settings.

I noticed you overclocked your 8800GTX...which brand of Card do you have (MSI, EVGA, ETC)?

Its a Dell oem version, with the fans set to 100% on riva tuner I can get it to 642/1080, I have the fans at 60% most of the time and when needed it kicks in at 80%, it gets to max 78 c with these settings, very happy with the card...

Agree with you on Crysis, but you can put some details to very high while keeping it perfectly playable and stunning..

Stuff like physics and shadows are not stunning, so you can knock them down to medium, similar with post processing, leaving you to put water,detail,texture, game effects all at very high..Game still looks just as stunning and plays smoothly...

Plus I find 40fps on Crysis to be like 60 to 70fps on games like unreal,cod 4....

All settings on highest (except the ones that are greyed out)
1280*1024
4xAA
AF on max

32FPS

It's pretty smooth, I've seen smoother. I tried turning some settings down. BUT I DIDN'T LIKE IT, SO I PUT THEM BACK.
Then I was happy again.

Dos1986: Pretty sweet overclock w/ reasonable temperatures. I have mine overclocked at 620/960 and haven't tryed higher yet. For some reason, overclocking in Vista doesn't give me extra FPS in Crysis!!! XP on the other hand gives me 10% increase in performance.

Jay_l_a: 32FPS...on XP or Vista?

XP.
Sometimes it dips a little below that, sometimes above.
I haven't run FRAPS, that just the figure from turning FPS on IN-game.

Are the greyed out settings DX10 only settings or something????

The grayed out settings are Vista exclusive settings. Ironically, there is a tweak available to enable these settings. Look for it online, you just have to change some text in the log files and that's it.

The poster was actually looking for benchmarks in Vista. All of our benchmarks were in Vista using actual DX10 settings.

Turned my own settings up to all very-high on vista ultimate, slowed to 12 fps @ 1920x1200 on an 8600 GTS with a Q6600 @ 3.6 GHz. Normally it hovers around the 30 mark when I turn off AA and AF

Ordering either a 9800GTX or 9800GX2 when they come out, and along with the 8gb RAM I'm expecting to arrive tomorrow it should bring it up nicely
