Cryostasis deal!

Sorry if old, but cryostasis is 10 euro's on gamersgate.

^^^^ definitely, was a great game especially for the price.

It has multi-core support and actually doesn't need a strong CPU for anything.

Then why it perfoms better in a friend's single core3.6ghz than my quadcore 3.2?

According to the article it might be because your friend could have a more powerful graphics card that pulls most of the weight so to speak.

This is PC-land and that's an Eastern European game. Localising the precise reason for performance hits is impossible:P

You wouldn't believe that such a static game, with almost no AI and whose eye-candy is processed entirely by the GPU demands a powerful CPU, wouldn't you? There's no logic in this. It only requires a Pentium 4, and a low-end dual-core is recommended.

Fact is, the engine natively supports multithreading and there's a command left in the .cfg from its early days, when they had to force it to run in a single-threaded mode.

Or maybe your friend never patched his game, so he doesn't have all the PhysX effects. The patch added tons of new effects that destroy any modern GPU. I think the versions released in May have the updates built-in anyway.

Godly. The story is almost on par with Planescape's, and twice as intriguing.

My rig: Amd Phenom II x4 3.2ghz black edition quadcore 4gb ram winxp Nvidia 9800GTX+ 512MB. =15FPS:(dakan45

I played it on a 2.4ghz Q6600, 2Gb RAM and 512MB 9800GT, using DX10 and had about 20-25. That was before any patch, I picked up the Russian version back in January. That's quite a nasty problem you've got there...

Also, an 8 years old OS won't take advantage of newer hardware.

It's not low-budget. Cryostasis is Nvidia's main display game for PhysX and one of 1C's most important IPs. Nvidia poured a lot of money in this project, they even gave it for free with one of 2009's newer cards.

Good deal. I have already bought the game at gamersgate. One of the most underappreciated games this year imo.G-Lord
