Why does my 7900 GTO run Crysis so well?
Action is very smooth. Graphics is very clear and
highly detailed. FPS is in the 30s during action scenes, and even higher when in quieter areas. I have 4 High settings .. rest Medium. Latest NVidia driver, and latest dll-library for WinXP. Also X2 Microsoft patch and AMD patch for dual core 4400. I have done some minor tweaks to the game.cfg file, but that is all. And I"m not running any of the old card settings like AA. And I'm not seeing any of the end game bugs .. like falling through the carrier floor ... that the 8800 guys have. Was considering an upgrade to the 8800, but why do it if my 7900 GTO is running with no problems on my present system? johns |

Most users systems are configured assways backwards. Congrats. Crysis is
indeed awesome. My newphews are in heaven playing it. Awesome and have fun! "johns" wrote in message ... Action is very smooth. Graphics is very clear and highly detailed.

Silly people who think they can see 32-bit color! The human eye can only see 16-bits of color, in each eye, so if you only use your good eye...you only need 16-bit rendering, speeding up Crysis by 100 bit-percent. Don't get me started on trilinear filtering and its wicked wasteful ways, outdoor scenes don't need trilinear filtering...only bilinear...either it's an indoor texture not...there is no "third" option. Waste of cycles. Don't use it, get lots more speed. |

Why does my 7900 GTO run Crysis so well?
Yep. I kicked all that stuff down. Sounds right.
Have res at 1280 x 800 widescreen. Jaggies are very slight, and I tweaked shading in the cfg file. That is the big killer for some reason. Saw it in Gothic 3 too. Nobody can run shading above medium ... and it doesn't change anything above low. My settings are giving me very clear and clean images, and there is no screen lag at all. Color is very good, but not as good as I see in Gothic 3. I think that is because HDR in Crysis is only available in Dx10. I see no bloom in Crysis like I see in G3. Actually, if I could figure it out, I think Shader 2.0 is the final step to getting HDR, and much higher FPS under WinXP. I wonder if the Shader in Crysis isn't backing down for my card ... and that is making a huge difference. I'm getting a Dx9 high quality image and game FPS because the backing down function is optimizing for my card and system ??? I'm not complaining either. johns |

While your video image of scenes in the game may be excellent, you are
nevertheless NOT seeing anywhere near what the game is capable of displaying when seen on a DX 10 capable video card, which yours is not. -- --DaveW "johns" wrote in message ...

Why does my 7900 GTO run Crysis so well?
I have a lab using 8600 GTS cards in XP, and the
Crysis demo set to all HIGH. Mobo is latest Intel X38 chipset .. probably the best box out there. And I don't see a bit of difference in Crysis in that system, and on my 7900 GTO system. None ?? I think my system is optimized for XP, and nothing is going higher in Crysis without Dx10. I think Crytek simply turned it off. There is no HDR ... that is obvious when compared to Gothic3. And the detail in Crysis is also muted when compared to Gothic3. My tweaking is turning on what Crytek turned off. So the game is just not maxed under XP by choice of Crytek wanting Crysis to be the Flagship game for Vista. I am slowly turning it on ... and so are others over at the InCrysis.com site ... by tweaking the cfg files rather than loading big shaders. Be interesting to see if we can get Crysis up to the level of Gothic 3 doing that. johns |
