For the record, telling me quad core helps a lot when I'm sitting here with a quad core and watching CPU utilization telling me that it's not actively using the 3rd and 4th cores is particularly ballsy.

Boring. Show me a review where they benchmark Very High settings.
Asher, I told you before, my two computers are identical except for the fact the one in the office is Quad. I just assumed that was the reason, that plus what I had read online. I have not actually bothered to see whether that really is the main reason though.
btw, gfx card is only a 8800GT, imagine how much faster Crysis would be if I had an even better card?

Did you read the last paragraph, and do you have any kind of experience here at all?Originally posted by FrostyBoy

Very High settings become GPU-bound, as in, NOT CPU-bound.
Crysis, quite simply, is dual threaded. Period. Adding Very High isn't going to make it triple or quad-threaded."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

No, sorry I didn't see it. (I have a habit of skim reading
). Well, I don't know, I don't have the answer as to why my Crysis runs like silk and your Crysis runs like sandpaper.

It probably has something to do with me being more sensitive to the concept of quality than you.
I don't know how you can run PC games without AA, for instance.
It's not that it runs like sandpaper, it just gets choppy quite a bit for no apparent reason. Even the intro video -- which is encoded -- exhibits copious amounts of screen tearing even though I've got vsync turned on.
There's just something inherently inefficient with how they coded this thing."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Not necessary when the resolution is high enough.
I have a very high tolerance for quality too, if you remember, I hated Halo 3's graphics for that reason - and I know what you're going to say, you're gonna say "WTF?!!?!? Halo 3 had the bestest graphics of all!" Well, not to me, Halo 3 looks like PlasticMan goes to PlasticLand. The funny thing about realism, is that it's blurry and noisy, if what you are seeing is very sharp and clear (like Halo 3), you're probably floating in outer space.
While I would prefer to have AA turned on while playing Crysis, my computer just can't handle quite a number of areas smoothly enough to enjoy it, but it's not a game killer, it's not THAT bad, high resolution works just fine. In due time (or maybe just a better graphics card?) Crysis will run very well on Very High with AA and AF.be freeComment

I don't think Halo 3 has the best graphics ever, nor have I ever said it. It does have the best lighting model ever in a game still, though.
I think you're the first person to ever describe Halo 3 as "sharp and clear" by the way.
And your "in due time" argument is bull**** -- if a $4000 rig can't run it on max settings when it comes out, the coders are ****ing idiots."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Please, I have yet to see an engine better than Cryteks.be freeComment

You've no idea what to look for. We've already established this over time.
How many other games are using Cryengine 2? If it's so good, why is that?"The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

"Increase the resolution" is the dumbest response I've ever seen to "antialiasing kills performance".
Does he even understand what antialiasing is?Comment

Yes Kuci I do, MANY people up the resolution to smoothen out the edges.
Do your eyes use AA Kuci? AA is just an illusion. When resolution technology improves, AA will be redundant.
Asher, Cryteks engine was released very recently. There are a number of games starting to use it. Don't forget also, the engine was not built in America by Americans, so the majority of publishers/game developers won't bother with it.... you know.. coz American's being all American like..be freeComment

And they are all ignorant and/or stupid, unless they're also using AA.

Yes. Yes they do.
AA is just an illusion.
No more an illusion than all of computer graphics.Comment

Actually this one takes the cake...You just wasted six ... no, seven ... seconds of your life reading this sentence.Comment

Yes, but that one speaks for itself.Comment

Resolution cannot really be considered an illusion. AA is a cheap trick to blur the edges of a polygon so that it appears to merge with whatever is behind it.
Resolution on the other hand is the only true way to achieve realistic "merging" of a foreground object and a background object, plus a whole host of other important things.
A typical human eye has a resolution of about 500 - 600 megapixels of data compressed into your 180 degree view. (I don't remember the exact figures.).
Btw a megapixel is 1 million pixels.be freeComment
