Out of curiosity how does Crysis do (Like what setting did you have it at for it to be playable) on an 8600 GT?

For the fun of it I tried the Crysis Demo on a ATI Radeon Xpress 200; at the lowest setting and resolution I probley averaged around 7 FPS.

I played it at medium settings at 1280X1024 on the 8600GT . Was getting around 40 fps at this. Anything lower than 30 for this game, you cant shoot the quick aliens.

Did you use any AA or AF?

Re: Did anyone try or play Crysis Warhead

earlier i was using 2xAA but later turned it OFF to get better frames. Its better to sacrifice AA to get better resolution imo.

That actually sound's pretty good for your setup. Sound's like it get's the basics done.

Re: Did anyone try or play Crysis Warhead

I am amazed that an earlier post mentioned running it on ati Radeon X200. That is the chipset that is in here and it crashed on every game I tried to run. I was going to trade this thing a week later on a Gateway, but bought a PCIe Video card instead. In hindsight, I maybe should have traded although I would have had to pony up an additional $300 or so.

Re: Did anyone try or play Crysis Warhead

Hey Coastie,

I've got the Radeon X800. The memory clock is topped to 980 MHz. I could probably get away with LOW settings on Crysis, but that wouldn't do much for game performance.

I may swap out this motherboard later down the road and do a video card upgrade.

Re: Did anyone try or play Crysis Warhead

this is what crysis warhead reads in vista games explorer on my system. Mine stands at 5.5 , so its more than recommended.

Not bad - I'm impressed.

Okay. Strong language . By strong language, is the F Bomb going off all the time?

Hey piyush, Where did you find that thing for testing your system? I looked and couldn't find anything like that.

yup , language is strong. The f bomb is heard often , KPA men shouting "american a$$*****" all the time . Leave the cutscenes , you can hear that during fighting also.

switch to vista coastie. lol Its a vista feature called "Windows experience index" which rates everything out of 5.9 max. Another vista feature is the "vista games explorer" that contains info about all games installed and shortcuts , required rating and recommended rating. That was a snip from the vista games explorer (VGE).

Here's my experience index . Considering the max. at 5.9 , my systems pretty good at 5.5 for a 1.5 yr old build.

And this is the VGE .

Too bad.

Re: Did anyone try or play Crysis Warhead

Hey piyush,

Figures it would be a Vista thing. XP doesn't need it, as it knows it is good to go.

The demo for Crysis ran just fine on this thing although I ran it in 1024x768 with the AA turned off, but everything else on high. Seemed to get very good frame rates as well. I am not an FPS person though. I do have a third person shooter on the PS3 which is good ( Uncharted : Drakes Fortune ), if not frustrating at times.

Re: Did anyone try or play Crysis Warhead

Piyush... or Coastie ... send me the download link for the demo. I'm going to regret the swearing but I want to see if my machine can run it.
