Crysis Performance Improvements

29
Madshrimpsn has an article about "Cuban Ultima Doom Sword's CustomCrysisConfig," a modification that provides the seemingly contradiction of improved performance and improved visuals in Crysis. They offer benchmark results that indeed show impressive frame rate gains and they point the way to FileFront as where to download the mod.

I don't think anyone actually cares about this game due to the fact that its only on PC. Crytek made a huge mistake by not porting it over to consoles.

1.2 - Selling 1.5 million copies in less than a year is your definition of a mistake?
I'm getting a new rig later this year, and it's definitely one of the first games I plan on getting.

I plan on getting it once I upgrade my rig. They'd have to tone down the graphics way too much to get it on consoles. This is the kind of game that will steadily sell as hardware gets cheaper, since so many people want it but can't run it yet. Plus, it doesn't have the $60 pricetag that console games tend to keep for far too long.

Spending big dollars on your PC amounts to nothing more than a waste of money. Its sad that you have to upgrade your PC all of the time for new game releases.
Graphics are only getting better on consoles and really, the line between top of the line computer graphics and the graphics on the PS3 is becoming really thin and doesn't justify the investment.

According to Crytek, yes, since they said they are disappointed at the sales and that after Warhead its the end for Crytek exclusives on the PC.

@BattleAxe that's funny last time I checked the resolutions were actually getting worse on the PS3. Lets see COD 4 @ 1024 x 600, MGS 4 @ 1024 x 768 (a res I dropped about 4 years ago) and GTA 4 @ 1120 x 640. Infact it is becoming a rarity to see HD resolutions on either console. I do know that my PC though can play ALL games at 1680 x 1050. But of course you will ignore all this and keep spouting the console "party" line.

What fudge chuckers like BattleAxe dont realize is that high end pc's are 10 years ahead of consoles and games like Crysis are meant to be enjoyed by people who strive for the latest and greatest. OK, it might be costly but its for an experience that consoles have never and will never deliver.

2 - yeah could you think what a crysis console would be?
Super powers Marines + Jungles + console limitations = HAZE or turok or the start of halo 3.

It the graphics and the physics that make crysis great and I havent seen that level of graphical "oh snap" on any ps3/360 game yet

3 - Sad really
I hate to state such an opinion but, it really goes to show the level of coding that was put into the game to optimize it for consumers when fans have to resort to creating mods to make the game run faster, smoother, and more efficient.

I understand that designing games for pc requires a lot of coding to make it viable for nearly any style of setup, but cmon. If your game doesn't run smooth on a 3k+ computer at high settings then its not solely the fact that the engine is so advanced, but rather it wasn't coded efficiently or optimized correctly.

Yes, it actually does, and I'm amazed by it, I thought this game was broken beyond repair, but the community and their persistence to fix the sh!t storm Crytek created is nothing but admirable.

I used to get 20-28 fps before I installed this beauty, now it's a constant 45-50, using 8800gt, dual-core, give it a shot, it's only 13 megs.

A custom directory, you'd have to manually locate it via the installer, quite easy, it goes like this:

C/D:Program files/Electronic Arts/Crytek/Crysis.

I cannot recommend this mod highly enough, it's amazing, I tried almost every tweak before this, Lexus Silentum and XConfig, didn't work, but this one, leaps and bounds in term of performance gain, same high quality graphics with major performance boost, what more can you ask for?

Now there's no need for patch 1.3 TBH.

Ive tried a few different tweaks and the best one so far that I found is the cvars tweaks from here:

http://www.gamecritics.com/...

Looks and runs amazing on DX9 1600x1200. I wonder if this mod would be a better alternative. Also, does the default cvars file have to be in the directory for this mod to work?
