When NVIDIA's new GeForce GTX 280 hits e-tailers next week, gamers who are running 30 inch displays with a 2560x1600 resolution, will finally be able to play Crysis with a solid framerate. In order to do so it will require 2 GeForce GTX 280 video cards running in SLI.
A Crysis VR mod is now available for download, allowing users to experience the first entry in the series in VR
No one cares. The whole can it run Crysis is old, dead and stupid. It's also irrelevant, considering only less than one percent of pc owners, own a high-end PC. Second, I believe Crysis wasn't even optimized properly.
Let's hope the modders can get the other Crysis games working in VR as they use the same Cryengine.
GF365: "There are some games with extraordinary visuals that impress us to this day. Here are old games with outstanding graphics."
Same as Killzone 2 and 3, uncharted 2 and 3, Infamous 2, Heavy Rain, Resistance 3
I wish this was entirely true, but you might want to load up Killzone 2 and Resistance 3 again.
@jason I watched some gameplay videos of KZ2 and R3 on my full screen. They are on par or succeed graphically to the first person shooters mentioned in the article that also launched on the seventh generation of consoles. Try the same and see what you think
Killzone 3 was super impressive! I could not believe the graphics back then as I was regularly pausing the game to stand in awe looking at the surroundings! Resistance however did not impress me that much. Heavy rain is also another amazing graphically speaking game. It almost felt next gen
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
They did for their day. I recently played gears judgement with on the 360 and the draw distance was so blurry. The characters up close look great though
Far Cry 2 was awesome. In addition to having demonstrably better physics and AI than later games in the series, it had a lot of design decisions that, criticized at the time, have since been praised in games like BOTW and Dark Souls.
It might not be super amazing by today's standard but I thought Mgs3 looked really good
Digital Foundry: "When Alex Battaglia got his hands on a Steam Deck, this was inevitable, right? So can the Steam Deck really run Crysis? And if so, what type of optimised settings produce the best performance? What's the best balance of features and battery life... and what about 60fps?"
Honestly...I think it is ridiculous that this game should require such crazy hardware to play with a solid FPS. Is this game really ahead of it's time or is it just bad programming? That is the question.
That is very true. However, I know quite a few people that are disappointed with the performance they have received so far. Mostly because their hardware allows them to play all of there other games at high res. I suppose they suspect that because they only own 24" or 30" monitors that they should be able to play all games with setting maxed.
I'll wait about 2 or 3 years, and cop a $1500 PC that will run this game like butter. Some may be puzzled at this, but any good game will withstand the test of time. I guess I'll find out if Crysis is just that.
crazy how you need two graphics cards to run this at its max, we shouldnt be going that far with this, soon you will need to buy two graphic cards to just play regular games. We should be able to just buy one graphic card and then enjoy, considering people pay 500 dollars for a graphics card. To much man, to much.
...or ANY game, for that matter.
Here's what I DO know: I bought a mid-range Velocity Micro PC last April, for $1300 awith the following basic specs
- Vista 32-bit
- Intel Core 2 6600 @ 2.4Ghz
- Nvidia 8600GT, 256mb DRAM
- 2G RAM
...and it BARELY runs Crysis. It looks like an original XBOX title, and runs at about 15 FPS...at best.
