Crysis 3

[demo]

Looked at his gallery at the 120hz forum, I think he has a 100hz+ catleap monitor, so he should be using 1440p.

Oh ok, In any case something isnt right.

What's more, I had the game in windowed mode and was clicking max and default on the tool, and I realised it's making me lose 1 to 2 fps, each click without fail.

And still gain 20FPS....

The tool is just like core unparker isn't it?

Don't know

Seems like you need to turn off hpet if you want the tool to actually do anything.

This program is used mostly in conjunction with disabling HPET in your bios to reduce microstuttering in SLI/Crossfire. It was by luck that I noticed it had this much of an effect in Crysis 3. It is not typical behavior and most games will not benefit from it. If you were to turn down your graphics settings where your GPU and CPU were both below 85% usage, for example, then this could help you in Crysis 3.

Hrmm I'll give it a shot I guess, would be great if this tool worked in ArmA2 & 3.

[demo]

Nope still nothing, and my timer resolution is different to his.

His says 10.001 ms by default, mine is 0.97 ms by default. So when he changes to the max setting he's seeing a dramatic difference from 10.001, where as 0.97 isn't far off the max setting to begin with.

Not sure what's going on there, maybe he's tweaked the crap out of his system and screwed some shiit up without knowing it..

[Dave]

Anyone tried this Linkage for some free performance? I would but i do not have the game yet

[yt]_hcuYiqib9I[/yt]

his math needs work. "so we went from 69fps-73fps so we'll say 61fps average"

um...

edit: wtf. why the **** is he running 3x680 and on medium/low settings?

Seems like it, my default is close to yours.

[Dave]

just downloaded this tool. im at 1ms. meh nothing to see here imo. I agree with demo, he seems like the type to tweak things and then it ****s something up.

[demo]

He's trying to get ~120fps for 120hz I guess.

What I dont get though is if he's CPU limited at 70fps, how come I get north of 150fps if I turn my graphics right down with a similar power CPU.

[KAC]

Any gay punching the rounds in MP? I quite liked the MP beta? Has it been improved thus far? Will play this weekend after I finish the SP campaign.

My gtx 680 sc is boning this game without lube.

[Lurk]

wonder how my coupled 6950's are going to handle this...

[DigitalDemon]

My GTX670 can't maintain 60fps at 1080p, but it can do a solid 30, so I just in game limit to 45fps and then set vsync to adaptive half refresh, which locks in a true 30fps, unlike the in game limiter which doesn't. Important on my setup as I use my Samsung hdtv which will then take the 30fps and interpolate to 240fps.

[Roadhog]

Game runs pretty good here. All very high with 4x MSAA I get about ~50-60FPS.

Frame interpolation while gaming? Yikes, that will be laggy as hell, rather not thanks!

sounds awful... lol you limit the game framerate with 2 different ways only to have your TV extrapolate it to 240 fps? weirdly funny...

yeah, say a guy with tri 7970 uhm wait, 3 x 7970 and you can't even get constant 60 FPS?

This is PC, not a console. We are not limited to the 30fps polling rate and 100-150ms lag time with consoles. It is actually much faster than you would think, about 4 frames, or 66ms, still faster than consoles. Crysis 3 is not the twitchiest of games, almost nothing is anymore, so it plays quite nicely. It's also much better than the alternative of fluctuating framerates.

Though yes, when I play a console game, interpolation can add more lag to what's already there, to the point of being annoying.

[Warpedkevin]

Been playing this all day. Love the game so far. Been running it on High textures, High advanced, 'cept shadows and shading on Medium and 2xSMAA. Looks and plays well.

I even went as far as overclocking my GPU for this one. Now have it stable at 900MHz core, 2200MHz Memory @ 1.1V. Quite happy with the 12.5% overclock and I can tell it's a bit smoother in this. I may push for 950MHz @1.15V tomorrow and see how it affects this game...

[Jaws of Life]

My PC would blow up running this.

[eNforcer]

Some things about it are pissing me off. There are some clipping issues when trying to shoot through guard rails and stairs and things with gaps, arrows, bullets don't always shoot through the gaps and result in me dying. My arrows also often get stuck in thin branches or leaves.

I died 4 times due to not being able to shoot through "open" windows

You just need a new video card. Rest of specs are fine. Also overclock that i5 2500K like a mofo on crack.

I don't think he has the K version.

this issue is much worse in bf3, very frustrating

Really? Where? On top of Scrapmetal there are some glitches with the rails, but I don't seem to remember anything with windows. Or are you talking about the SP?

[nutcrackr]

Some of the multiplayer levels look incredible, and they run excellent on high. I guess shouldn't be a surprise given they are typically smaller than single player levels. Financial District =

Mp is ok, very similar to C2 obviously. It's a lot faster now sprint and mantle cost no energy, no reason not to sprint around really. You'll only need to slow down to shoot somebody which makes you an easy target. Quite a few cloak / bow users but don't think they are overpowered yet. Net code doesn't seem great, but adequate. Not really a fan of the overpowered weapon stuff. swarmer is ridiculous, alien weapons are all very powerful.

[Warpedkevin]

Played again this morning, the graphics still make me go wow on each level, especially the more I see. I definitely prefer the story in this one to that of C2, but as of yet still not better than C1 and Warhead.

I upped my overclock (GPU) to 950MHz @ 1.125V stable (1.1V was unstable, jumped straight to 1.125, maybe should've tried 1.113V first?). I may push to 1GHz tonight, and see if I can slap on 4xSMAA, as I've gained a fair few frames so far... Seems smoother overall!

EDIT: For anyone who may be interested: I checked the temperatures over a two hour straight session of Crysis 3 and it never goes above 67 degress C. Am I right in thinking I have nothing to worry about with my overclock? Don't GPU's cut off at about 100 degrees C?

like you saying your card runs it fine, no sh** sherlock.

not everyone can go and buy a new card when they dont have the funds to

Be careful fellas, the poor can be dangerous when cornered.

[Loopy]

Man this game is beautiful. On my GTX670/2500k @ 4.7ghz, It is more than playable at 1920x1080 very high with 2x SMAA. Tried 2x TXAA last night and it looks amazing, the smoothing/blur effect really brings something to the table with C3 but does bring it down to just barely smooth.
Overclocked my 670 to +110 Core and +116 Mem and it is playable with TXAA. No idea of framerate but I'd assume around 30fps, don't care about benches just whether I can play it or not.

[Ulysses 31]

Tried the beginning part of the game a bit and it's very playable with 1 Ares II in 2560x1440 max details, FXAA. above 50fps mostly.

i dont get peoples surprise that the game runs when they have top of the line gfx cards

You don't? Crysis 1 did not run as well on then top of the line cards, hence the suprise.

but crysis 1 was ahead of its time on release and NOT on console too

Your point? Not many games look as good as Crysis 3 or 2 for that matter.

[Mangler]

Game got patched.

• Significant optimisation to Medium detail settings (PC Only)
• Particle optimisation (PC Only)

And some stuff for the mp.

Purchased the game and is downloading ATM. Still a way to go and it will not be complete before i go to work (night shift)

I hope you guys are playing on the hardest difficult because imho that is the best way to enjoy the game as that is how i played the previous 3 games

Delta mode or GTFO

its the worst on the armored kill maps. there was even a patch specifically saying they fixed it but they didnt
