About Cryostasis's Performances

[Unforgiven_II]

Any news what exactly the patch will bring?
I mean, if it just adds more Physx i don't think the performance will be increased. If theres much more to calculate we will loose performance instead of getting a better one.

I think there are two groups of users, one group who wants better performance and another one who whants more physical effects. But is there a way to get it both together?

I,m a PC tech so I know how to tweak my PC for performance. I have a new 9800 GTX+ 512 2GB corsair Core 2/3000 (6850) getting a bit old now. FEAR 2 runs on full settings and starts in about 15 seconds. I dont know the FPS but it never misses a beat nor a second of lag. C-stasis runs badly with EAX disabled and Physx disabled in the nvidia control panel after a few minutes it settles down and runs ok but why should I play the game in a low res with the extra features turned off? I wont be playing CRSTS until a patch is released and then I will start from scratch.

Well turning on PhysX in your control panel will give you a HUGE performance increase. You seem pretty techie.... j/k

For my set-up the best performance I can get is at 800x600 with every video option either off or low and PhysX off and Hardware EAX ON. If I turn off EAX off performance is worse.

Still I'm faced with jerky mouse control and low resolution/detail.

Pretty disappointing since I can play anything out there at twice the detail completely smoothly.

I find it interesting that PhysX cripples gameplay and I have an nVidia 8600 GTS. Hilarious if it wasn't so maddening.

It boggles the mind that these issues went completely un-noticed by the developers/publisher.

The only suggestion I can make is that they developed/QC'd on top of the line tech and didn't bother with lower grade machines.

Either that or they knew and didn't care.

Note: We're talking perception here, as in CUSTOMER perception.

Get the picture?

8600 is not a great card, hell, it's not even good for gaming. It'd be good for watching DVDs and okay for watching HD movies.

It wouldn't make a bad physx card if you got something better as a GPU and had 2 pci slots.

on my 8800GT (BFG OC2) its playable at 1280x960 with motion blur on and all effects at MED. I was waiting for the patch but I grow weary.
