Some screenies of the Crysis single player demo.

I hear crysis is the most system intensive game on the market right now, with most systems not able to get decent frame rates at times out of the game.

Ricky Willox · Mar 7, 2008

Yes its pretty hard on the old comp.

Run #1- DX10 1280x1024 AA=No AA, 64 bit test, Quality: High ~~ Last Average FPS: 29.92

Running the game at 1900x1200 16xAA with texture quality at very high results in about 15fps according to fraps.
But it doesent really seem to affect the game much its still playable.

And this is with an Nvidia 8800GTX and a quad core E6600 with 2gig of pc9200 ram

So yea a hefty system would be required to get this running maxxed out.

Im a Crysis player, my lowest frame rate is around 50 FPS, GFX are turned up quite a bit but as im on XP no DX 10 unless I hack it,

Great single player gamebut its just a shame the multiplayer sucks!

I dl'd the demo, and with all graphics set to medium, with system graphics set to 8X AA and 8X AF I have a little lag in parts of the demo. Might be due to something else running in the background though, so not absolutely sure.

Attila Domján · Mar 7, 2008

strangely i cant say my fps, since fraps not running under this game...? not showing anything.... but no lag, thats for sure on max setting.

Jim Cole · Mar 7, 2008

Show off Atti,

lol Glad to hear someone can run it with no lag issues.

Attila Domján · Mar 7, 2008

ye, with 2*8800 Ultras in SLi and a quad core extreme CPU i would hate to see lag...

Jim Cole · Mar 7, 2008

To be honest, with everything in medium the graphics are pretty nice. I can't imagine what you are looking at Atti, but it must be awesome.

Jeeeesus Christ Yoda.....

Matt Hunt · Dec 1, 2008

Now try to play multiplayer with them settings lolz

They may have future proofed the graphics, but lets face it by the time the average Joe gets a rig to play this on max setting witch is what the game was designed for, it will be an old title & in the local game shop bargin bin...

Crysis and Crysis wars are very good games. but to be competative online your best dropping the graphs to min for a better fps.
