These are some benchmarks I've found on some Chinese site and if these are true it would be a large dissapointment for gamers when they'll find out that their DX10 8800GTX (not even talking about the SLI + quadcore setup this benchmark was run on) is not even able to play DX10 games like Crysis in a decent resolution/FPS. I'll stick with my XP/DX9c setup (as this will play Crysis as well) till the real monster DX10 cards arrive next year Got this next link via http://realworldbenchmarks.com/newsitem.php?id=157

Check it out for yourself....

i got his from another forum, i would not believe any benchies till the games is out
"Crysis ran at 30 frames per second on Vista. Here's the details:

- 2048x1600 resolution
- High details (in pre-Alpha)

- Single-Core CPU
- 2GB of RAM
- 8800GTX

-Unoptimized

Yes, at 30 frames in Vista. Smile"

i don't think trust that web-site can be trusted

Well, why could this not be true? It's a very heavy game. When you see for example this crytek 2 engine tech movie>>> http://www.arena51.be/fr/videogame [...] p?id=24539 it will totally blow you away. But I agree, it could be a fake benchmark.....just wondering if there are more people who read about Crysis benchmarks that shows simulair results.

Don't believe it. Reminds me of a supposed R600 benchmark that appeared on a Russian site the other day. Lets see some respected web sites giving bench results and I'll pay more attention.

yes, exactly my point

I agree with you. Without AA/AF and its batting .2FPS? LOL.

You know they say take these things with a grain of salt..... but to swallow this the grain of salt would have to be the size of a bus 8O

Because it's already been discussed when VR-Zone posted this a while back;
http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=4555

HardSpell used the Ageia PhysX card and turned Physics on, however Crytek has already stated that they use VPU physics, not a PPU, so either the one graphics card is doing physics or the CPU is doing physics, either way the test is flawed if that's the case.

I'll believe Crysis Benchmarks, when I can buy it in retail and not some hack-job demo of dubious reliability.

I'll guess this makes http://realworldbenchmarks.com and http://www.hardspell.com go down the drain for posting this kind of nonsence info It's good to let people know these kind of sites are out there.

Don't be stupid people .. Crytek is making sure their game is playable on every decent card out there and that's include 8800 series of course .

Not to mention many video previews showing Crysis with DX10 effects on a 8800 series .. Gamespot has stated previously that the "Alpha" version of the game was running at 60 FPS .. Maxed .. also on a 8800GTX !

Tomshardware itself has made a comparsion between Crysis on XP and Win Vista .. guess what ? the Vista system was using 8800GTX (the only DX10 hardware available for now) .. and the game was extremely playable . You can find this article on Twitchguru.com .

Well, why could this not be true? .

Well, why would it be true?

Isn't Oblivion just now able to be played with all the bells and whistles turned on with the release of the 8800? It won't surprise me if Crysis can't be played with all the settings maxed using current hardware.

Such is the price of these amazing game engines.

I guess it all depends what a difference DX10 really makes. Only time will tell.

Oblivion's engine is not optimized well...

Per the original thread:
Isn't Crysis still in Beta??? This is bogus info.

However, it wouldn't surprise me if Crysis is overbuilt for the current cards @ max settings... gives the game more longevity.

go gametrailers.com search crysis and there we go, ingame with a 8800gtx tho the frame rates drop sometimes but ya.. long time till the release of crysis.

If this thread isn't FUD what is?

DX10 introduces alot of efficiency advances. Take a tree for example, whereas you'd draw each induvidual leaf in DX9.0c, in DX10 you draw one leave and repeat/rotate/resize it 10,000 times.

Even if said leaf is 1,000 times as detailed, you still have a 5x speed increase by the time you have finished the tree.

Now take a jungle screenshot with 50 trees, and you only have to draw one leaf for the lot of them.....

Its not really how it works.

The card still has to draw the different leafs with different angle, lightsource, shader angle.

Hence the 5x increase not 10x

It is still far more efficient to rotate the leave and copy it than it is to draw a whole new one.

My point is that DX10 is capeable of increasing Gfx quality without decreasing performance, or increasing gfx quality loads for a minimal performance hit.

Remember though. DX10.a will be out by june which I understand Crytek may take advantage of. The problem is that The 8800 series cards do not support this new standard and will not be able to play Crysis using dx10.

This topic is mute





/fud

I read on a Persian website that the 8800 series will have an add on deisel engine that grants them dx10.a capabilities, but only for a hour at a time, so the engine can cool down.

Well considering how short games are becoming, that 1 hour should be enough to beat crysis on hard start to finish.
