Action is very smooth. Graphics is very clear and
highly detailed. FPS is in the 30s during action
scenes, and even higher when in quieter areas.
I have 4 High settings .. rest Medium. Latest
NVidia driver, and latest dll-library for WinXP.
Also X2 Microsoft patch and AMD patch for
dual core 4400. I have done some minor tweaks
to the game.cfg file, but that is all. And I"m not
running any of the old card settings like AA.
And I'm not seeing any of the end game bugs
.. like falling through the carrier floor ... that
the 8800 guys have. Was considering an upgrade
to the 8800, but why do it if my 7900 GTO is
running with no problems on my present system?
Most users systems are configured assways backwards. Congrats. Crysis is
indeed awesome. My newphews are in heaven playing it.
Awesome and have fun!

Crank everything up!! I only get 10 FPS if I have everything cranked up
except volumetric. I refuse to go lower because they look bad.

Of course, who needs FSAA for scene realism, just keep your character in
perpetual motion so you never actually see jaggies.
Silly people who think they can see 32-bit color! The human eye can only
see 16-bits of color, in each eye, so if you only use your good
eye...you only need 16-bit rendering, speeding up Crysis by 100 bit-percent.
Don't get me started on trilinear filtering and its wicked wasteful
ways, outdoor scenes don't need trilinear filtering...only
bilinear...either it's an indoor texture not...there is no "third"
option. Waste of cycles. Don't use it, get lots more speed.
Yep. I kicked all that stuff down. Sounds right.
Have res at 1280 x 800 widescreen. Jaggies
are very slight, and I tweaked shading in the
cfg file. That is the big killer for some reason.
Saw it in Gothic 3 too. Nobody can run shading
above medium ... and it doesn't change anything
above low. My settings are giving me very
clear and clean images, and there is no screen
lag at all. Color is very good, but not as good
as I see in Gothic 3. I think that is because
HDR in Crysis is only available in Dx10. I see
no bloom in Crysis like I see in G3. Actually,
if I could figure it out, I think Shader 2.0 is
the final step to getting HDR, and much higher
FPS under WinXP. I wonder if the Shader in
Crysis isn't backing down for my card ... and
that is making a huge difference. I'm getting
a Dx9 high quality image and game FPS
because the backing down function is optimizing
for my card and system ??? I'm not complaining
either.
Huh? I can see differences in high and medium shade settings. And that
is with DirectX 9.0c in Windows XP Pro. SP2.

While your video image of scenes in the game may be excellent, you are
nevertheless NOT seeing anywhere near what the game is capable of displaying
when seen on a DX 10 capable video card, which yours is not.

Yea, and because I am not willing to run my LCD outside of its native
res I am stuck with poor frame rates in games like Crysis unless I dial
the details back quite a bit.
Why does my 7900 GTO run Crysis so well? 
I refuse to go lower because they look bad. 
Linear Mode
