Crysis 3 to be DX11 only.

http://www.pcgamer.com/2012/12/03/these-are-the-advanced-graphics-settings-crysis-3-will-have-high-res-textures-at-launch-confirmed/

Following reveal of Crysis 3s system requirements over the weekend, Ive received confirmation from EA and Crytek of which precious secondary settings well be able to tweak in the game. If you remember, Crysis 2 launched with an anemic four tweakable options: v-sync, game resolution, HUD bobbing, and a general quality setting. A patch after release expanded these, and fan-made utilities helped out, but the good news is that EA and Crytek arent shipping Crysis 3 in the same state.

Heres what youll see if you click on Advanced Graphics Options in Crysis 3.

• Game Effects
• Object
• Particles
• Post Processing
• Shading
• Shadows
• Water
• Anisotropic Filtering
• Texture Resolution
• Motion Blur Amount
• Lens Flares

Oh... I won't have to bother with my app this time around.

Doesn't matter. I got one made and ready to be ported anyways.

like u are contributing anything... it could be good better than 2 but gamelaywise too consolise for my taste...SNIPER4321

Oh no! Sniper will miss out on another great game because he is too stuck up:cry:

Can you describe the technology driving the grass system in C3? What distinguishes your tech from other games grass rendering?

Corbetta: This tech allows us to visualize thousands of individual blades of grass, and is very cost and memory efficient as we can even achieve good results on older console hardware like 360 and PS3. One of the most important things is that this technology is improving gameplay. For example, you can see AI aliens running through the fields and bending individual blades of grass, and things such as projectiles, explosions and wind affect grass movement too. This gives a predator-style gameplay experience in the Fields level, which is very in line with the experience C3 wants to offer. There are not many other games that can offer this kind of realistic grass simulation and rendering on a multiplatform basis.

Continuation of the article.

It seems like rendering realistic grass is all the rage these days: that skyrim mod, far cry 3, crysis 3, ...

Dayum that looks amazing. Looks like another big jump crytek will be making. perhaps their final one before they move into F2P

Well it matters cause it's a +3 year old card and not 2...

GPU has had 2 generation of succesors... that's about 30-40% increase in power.

Also, you didn't get the best of the best at that time either.

Today you card is barely even worth 100$...

Ram has been cheap before... Ever heard of DDR,DDR2 and DDR3, they also have their own genration... prices go up/down every generation.

[QUOTE="GioVela2010"][QUOTE="no-scope-AK47"]You give bmw drivers a bad name I hope you maintain your car better than your pc. Not sure what your smoking but the 720 is a console and unless it is using water or sub-zero tech the heat will limit what it can do. Also the price will be a huge factor so I really doubt it will be on the level of current high end hardware. A mid range card today is the hd 7870 it pulls 120w at idle and 300w at full tilt that is just the gpu. Pc hardware is so far ahead that I don't think consoles can even match a mid level gaming pc.

Yeah, if above all else the grass is amazing looking in this game. By far the most real looking grass around

What's the point in turning next-gen consoles into ovens by dropping in overpowered hardware. A 7850 would almost be overkill:

• DirectX 11
• High Resolution Texture Pack
• Ultra Quality settings
• 4x AA
• Level: Times Square (2 minute custom time demo)
• 1900x1200

This is the current state-of-the-art for PC games and even a 7850 can handle it at max. I would recommend lowering expectations a bit and looking for something like A10+7670, or a 7750/70 single GPU setup.

[QUOTE="Bebi_vegeta"]

[QUOTE="GioVela2010"] Lol a 7870 is not 300w at full load, wtf are you smoking, more like 175w. And a HD 7970M is about as powerful as 7850 and only uses 85 watts at load. So yes I fully expect that a GPU 2 years newer than the 7970m can draw around 100-120 watts and be much more powerful than a 7870 from last year.. And the next Xbox will be like a HD 9850 in terms of power and efficiency. Price? By the time Xbox 720 launches there will be over 80 million people on Xbox Live, around half have Gold accounts, and 65% of all revenue on Xbox live is all profit. So your looking at easily over a billion dollars a year in profit with Xbox Live by the time 720 launches, they're not just going to quit LIVE when 720 releases.. Also when 360 launched RAM was expensive as hell, around $70 per 512MB, here we are in 2012 and you can now get 12GB for $50. What MS saves in RAM costs they could put into the GPUGioVela2010

They could of done the same thing with DDR2 back then...

Good. It's about time that devs are moving forward in PC technology.

Well Psycho and Prophet are bald so not from them anyway :P

I took my 560 ti back because crysis 2 looked like garbage even with dx11 looked like a console game and so does this.garbagesole

Yeah yeah we heard it before from you. Still a GPU killer?

Hermits, are you prepared? :o :twisted:

Hm, I fit right in, and my OC'd 670 GTX should count as a 680 GTX...

Not too excited about the actual game, though. I'm counting it as a benchmark, from what I've seen, it still lacks most of the things that made the original Crysis so fun to play...

Why not?

One can never have enough GFLOPS and all that crap! :twisted:

Can't wait to play it at2,560x1,440 at 100FPS.

Maybe console peasants can experience the same visual fidelity in 15-25 years.

So, making things up while lacking any sort of non-speculative evidence to back up your point... this must be your newest act of desperation, am I right? ;)
