Nvidia announced today new ForceWare beta drivers that offer several game and application compatibility fixes, and are also the recommended drivers for running the long awaited Crysis (coming out this Friday). This new release is the third set of beta drivers in less than a month that tries to improve compatibility and performance for the latest generation of games, which includes BioShock, Crysis, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars, Hellgate: London, Team Fortress 2, World in Conflict, and TimeShift. This holiday season is just such a great time to upgrade and be a PC gamer...
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."
I always thought the first 3 Gears of War games looked great and still hold up for today.
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?"
Whats with the games having problems running on old drivers. How the fcuk do the test in on the hardware while testing it? They somehow magically get the future drivers? Every new game requires some sort of driver update or rollback. I miss the 3dfx days..
I know that back in the day developers built the game around the drivers already in place.
Then once you installed those drivers you could go into optimized settings for individual games.
That seems like its starting to change.
Crysis is amazing to say the least. The graphics are very nice!
The game is a system killer though....especially under Vista.
I am running a quad core system, 2gs ram, and SLI 8800GTS 640 cards and I can running the game nicely at 1600x1050 with everything set on high. No AA though. Turn on AA and the game will CREEP!
If the drivers will help, I will certainly download them.
SO BRING THEM ON.
What are you all running and how does the game play?
I played the demo through on an OCed Q6600, OCed 8800GT, 2Gb Corsair Dominator ram and the game was smooth as silk at 1280x1024. I think I only had AA at x2 to keep the fps up. I ran it in xp though because that seems to give better results than under vista.
Vista is a nice OS....but has not real place as a gaming platform. Not yet anyways.
Any game that is running under vista will run about 20% faster under xp.
I have thought about dual booting...
Recommendations?
Also, can you shoot down trees in the DX 9? I heard that was only for DX10.
