WHAT?! It takes 2 9800Gx2's just to run crysis maxed out at 1680x1050 at anything near 35fps!

Urufu, don't argue with FeuerFalke. He is the forum expert(spammer), and he is always right.

Now apologize.

and it's 1680 x 1050. :)

Boy, it sure got quiet in here.

Optimizations made to Crytek's CryENGINE 2 will allow the upcoming sci-fi shooter follow up Crysis Warhead to run smoothly with high detail settings on cheap PCs, studio CEO Cevat Yerli has claimed.

Specifically, Yerli told German outlet PC Games that a 400 euro (roughly $620) PC could run the title, with high settings enabled, at 30 to 35 frames per second. Curiously, he did not detail the resolution at which this is possible.

My machine runs Crysis on medium settings
8800gt
Core 2 duo
3 gig ram
at resolution 1440 x 900.
If they are entering Alpha stage now with SOW BoB the current top range system specs should do.
Running Il2 at 1440 x 900 with everything maxed out in the config file and I get frame rates of 35 to 75.
So high end machines make little difference to Il2 but hopefully SoW will make the investment worth while.
Ps I do not expect to run SoW maxed out considering Nvidia have released a whole new range of cards faster than their 9800x2


Not taking sides

lol

No response from Oleg and crew yet? :)

A google might help..
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PhysX
Novodex started up a long time ago, but it all based on C.. which I don't like.
It should be based on ASM, which is more efficient AND faster

and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Havok_(software)
is much the same thing..

So PhysX will be Nvidia based and Havok MSoft based (those annoying little toys like Xbox, playstation..etc :) )
Oleg is spreading his wings... but either way it looks good.
:)

It's soooo much easier to flame people than to actually use 5 seconds of google. There's a nice saying in Germany: If you point 1 finger at somebody else, 4 are pointing at you.

S! @ Bobb5


Title: Crysis Warhead Runs On A €400/$620,- dollar system!
Post by: Smartino on June 20, 2008, 12:16:13 AM
I got this little piece of news from a Dutch site and I translated it. What do you guys think? :D
Crysis: Warhead runs on a PC of 400 Euros = 620.16 U.S. dollars.
Crysis is known as the game which did not run that smooth, even not on high-end systems. Crysis: Warhead should not know this problem. The game tells the same story as that of Crysis, but then from the point of view of the English marine Psycho. According to Cervat Yerli, the boss of Crytek, changes to the engine, which can also be applied to Crysis have been carried out. According to Yerli it is possible for Crysis: Warhead to run on a PC that only costs €400.
The game should than be running at 30-35 frames peer second on high settings.


I think this is awesome news! I voted maybe though, cause it probable but I think the performance will be a bit lower than Cevat says... you never know though! :P

Well, if you look at my original post, I made no mention of Crysis Warhead. I mentioned the original Crysis, which as your info shows, is very hard on a high-end system. That's why I said if your system can play "Crysis" well, then I would think it's ok for BoB.

Actually this news is just topping the last one, that confirmed unmodded crysis runs on a 600Euro machine in full details at stable 35FPS. ;)
