Crysis: Achieve Graphics Beyond The Highest Setting

GameXtract writes "Have you yet to purchase Crysis? Take out that best buy gift card you have lying around, and use it because the game is getting better, and better each day. Even better Crysis Warhead is coming out, and I'm sure that you can put that good old best buy gift card to good use. That's unless your planing on getting Star Wars the same day. The modding community is been ever expanding. This morning we posted about a portal gun for the game that would allow you to teleport yourself. Now we have something more visual that may please the eyes. The mod community has been working on config files for the game for the past year. One member known as [HP] has done a fantastic job of polishing up the file to maximize your graphics. Yes, that's right you can achieve graphics beyond the highest setting currently available. The hefty requirements are that you have a Nvidia 8800 graphic card, as well as 2GB of ram. What makes this config file better than the current one installed on your computer?"

Get the full info after the jump.

1 - Wow, only an 8800?
I just might be able to utilize this to make the game look good.

This also showcases how horribly unoptimized the engine of this game is...

1.1 - Actually
Crysis is optimized, people just like to spout that crap because their GPU can't handle it.

yeah i agree with u moses.

People dont understand how much is actually being rendered in crysis, it is optimized well.

The only reason warhead runs better is because they took DX10 out of it.

it's not good or smart to make a game with such high graphic that some of the most expensive cards on market are unable to play it at full setting , in fact it's stupid and insulting to the customer .

the challenge is to make the game as beautiful and amazing as possible without making the gamer sell an arm or leg to play the game in full setting .

yes some new games might need an upgrade to play on full setting , but nothing like Crysis , a lot of cards came out after the game and a lot of them are not able to play it at high resolution .

I agree. How come my Apple II can't play Crysis at its highest settings? This is upsetting to be me as a paying customer. Totally unfair.

...does this all the time. I swear every time they release a new game it takes me two upgrades to get it up to 60fps.

If there are no games currently pushing the envelope, then why would graphics card makers bother making better and faster products? There would no reason to improve or upgrade your card EVER when all developers are constrained to making games that any PC can handle.

Retard.

:Edit: Zero, he didn't claim the Id made this game. He said Id makes games that often require upgrades to run properly. He's right.

Looking at the comparison pics it feels like these custom settings are render light that looks much more artificial than Crytek's standard settings.

These distinct shadows in daytime are too dark, light diffusion would blur them (as in standard settings pics).

But then it's one guy's tweaks compared to Crytek's art dept.

14 - Drakes Fortune Looks better...
I looked at the pics in highest level detail and I still think Drakes Fortune on the PS3 looks much better. If you play through the game from begging to end you will see what I mean...

Save your cash up for a PS3. Nothing like it on the planet today.

Sorry, I just don't see it... And on top of that compare how the environment reacts to you and you to it in Crysis compared to Drakes Fortune and I don't even see them being in the same league.

Cell would do a 5000 barrel demo. not sure why you'd want to though

Crysis is a sweet looking game and so is uncharted.

both take a different route to gameplay.

Most games are art style anyway.
