Hi All,


I know that Crysis is made to stress out the pc but I am only getting 20FPS, I have reinstalled the drivers for the GPU and the same problem happens. Does anybody know how to increase these fps? This is on the system in my sig.


Thanks,

Yep, upgrade your computer

If Crysis is running well and you're getting 20fps, don't worry, all is normal.

I actually hate Crysis with a vengenance - why make a game that is seriously going to stress your system? Pathetic.

And for all that it looks no better than it's peers, Cod 4 & 5, GTA IV, Bioshock et al all look better and won't stress your system.

Which is why I sold Crysis.

How much more speed are you looking for?? Is the game freezing or hanging on you?? Is youir power being drained by hidden processes??
Also why are you playing Crysis...is that not out of date

Hi Flops,


LOL I thought you were serious then about up-grading. I suppose that there is not much point in getting a game that stresses out the system but then someone people like it. I do like the game that are not heavy on resources too.


Out of interest what GTA like? I have heard mixed reviews about that.

No much really just wanted to know if that was the normal fps for Crysis. The game runs ok and does not freeze. I don't think its that out of date but I could be wrong.

I'll agree Crysis was a good game, some innovative things you could do, I liked the way most of the vegetation reacted to gunfire, for instance. Hated the alien part though and also didn't like the part where you guided the airplane - frustrating

zed: Good games never go out of date. I've just played Half Life & Blue Shift and am currently midway through Opposing Force. After that I''ll play Gunman Chronicles. Although I have all the originals I recently picked up Half Life/Blue Shift/Opposing Force for £4.96 at PC World on one DVD disc.

Thery're all fully patched and run under Steam now, the games run better and faster than they used to but only trouble is you can't run Custom Games under that setup, such as They Hunger.

As for GTAIV I'm running it on the system in my sig and a couple of days ago I had my first freeze, dialogue was running, black screen, had to reset computer to exit the game. So I backed down several video settings from high to medium and it's been alright since.

The game estimates your highest possible video settings and warns when your settings have nearly maxed out your hardware. I was right on the limit, 485 out of 492, so I backed down.

GTAIV looks gorgeous btw and the play is very fluid. For some reason though I can't connect to what they call the Rockstar Social Club which is needed for online play. I've checked my password, they e-mail me back the correct one when I request it, it just won't connect. I also e-mailed Rockstar about the problem but they never answered.

Still, the single player is good and I only paid a tenner for it from Morrisons, the supermarket chain.

Sounds normal to me too, what sort of settings are you running it on?

Hi Ian,


I am running this on maxed settings, I could trun off AA and see if that makes any differene. Do you think that there is much differene between an 8800Gt and a GTX260 in Crysis? I think there is less light laging with the 260.

On max settings, then 20 FPS seems very fair indeed. I ran it on an 8800GTS and I had to knock it down to just above medium for it to be playable.

Crysis is known to be a bit of a hog when it comes to resources.

Ok thanks, do you reckon that there is much difference between an 8800GT to an 260GTX in crysis?
