Crysis Demo

[pg]

I think it's a dog performance wise. It looks quite bad on medium given how fast it runs(not that fast). It has terrible item/etc pop up too compared to say Oblivion which has similar environments. I really think they just didn't optimize it right. Post-processing doesn't seem like a big FPS hit on my system but I have Q6600@3.42ghz.

UT3 has huge outdoor environments that look great but obviously it isn't packed full of little rocks and trees. Perhaps they just over did it outside - most of that tiny **** doesn't add anything but I'm sure it drains FPS. Or maybe they just had level designers with OCD rock fetishes.

I have a 8600GT, AMD 3000, 2gig ram at work, which I think is mid range, the game runs great on High with some of the settings down to medium; and I enjoy the game plot so far.

But as for now, I am still not yet able to judge the game as a whole until 1. I have played the game fully and with a series 9 card - the card I think it is meant to use.

Although, I read that people are able to run the game beautifully on all very high with the highest-end ATi cards; weird?

BTW, about motion blur. If I increase post-processing to High, Crysis starts looking good. The FPS remains fine, except during motion blur, so I disable that. Now, motion blur in Episode 2 never resulted in choppiness.

So yeah. At this point it looks like it'd be possible to optimize the engine for better performance but it's just not been done.

By the time I upgrade I expect this game will run well.

According to incrysis, a 8600GT is "fine but no great" for Crysis - crazy enough, given that it can run any other game currently out, I believe, on maxed out settings.
