new ati 5770 with crysis.

Can't believe how awesome this game looks with my new Asus 1gb 5770 and runs perfectly on High settings with my dated core2duo e6750, xin XP and 4gb RAM. So happy I held back buying this game until I replaced my 8600gt. People said it looked amazing but didn't think it would look this good. Check out the screen shots.

Just done the first few missions so far and been going in all guns blazing tactics.

its really hard to be stealthy in this game.. they tend to still spot you too easily.. they gotta ditch the AI from farcry 1 at some point lol.

yeah i find the cloak doesnt last long enough to get to cover sometimeswurd

The cloak time limit is plenty enough. Some of my own clips.......

Ever thought about standing and running while cloaked makes it go down easily.. go prone if you have to stand still and use crouch if you have to move with it

No, it's not hard at all. You have to use cover and take breaks in between cloaking because your energy drains so quickly, especially when you move.

I had no idea just how beautiful the game was until I played it on my 5870 on Very High in DX10, averaging 45-50 frames per second with 30 at the lowest. Good God, the game is beautiful.

wow, I had forgoten what Crysis looked like. From those screens though I'd say Bad Company 2 on the Frostbite engine looks considerably better.

yeah i can see having it on for longer would make you too reliant on it.. but ive only played it for a few hours so im still learning the fighting techniques

wurd

Some spots in the game call for it. For example the helicopter gunships. I've seen YT videos where they seemed docile even while the player's character is uncloaked. I tried doing the same in the same exact location. Nada. The choppers always unleashed hell. So, I have to cloak a lot of times whenever the choppers are around, at least until I could get the first rocket shot in.

The clip I showed had me cloaking a lot because the KPA nanosuits were sniping like crazy if I didn't. It's the same with the gunships. I tried moved around fast when uncloaked. Yet, they still got me even when I tried Maximum Speed. So, again, I'm puzzled at some of the YT videos I've seen.

What the hell? Those screenies don't do it justice. It looks much better! Where's the atomspheric sun lighting and all the shadows?Anarchist-TKC-1

I also have a (Sapphire) 5770. Crysis isn't one of the games it's good at. But, Crysis defaults to High with it. Usually, I keep Textures, Objects, and Water at Very High, Shaders and Volumetric at High, and Shadows at Medium. Everything else can be set to Low. AA is set to 2xAA. All at DX10.

The very last part of the game was also the most resource-intensive. I had to resort to DX9 to finish the game. Even then, the framerates were in the mid-low 20's a lot of times.

I also set the sound to Minimum at the Awakening level because the tremors/earthquakes would drop the frame rates into the teens. Reducing sound quality restored the frame rates back into the 30's. The only thing I seemed to lose was the force of the bass. I simply turned up the bass dial on my Logitech Z-2300's.

LOL yeah, it's a great feeling! When you play the game maxed, the amount of added immersion is pretty crazy. 2+ years old and the game still puts everything else to shame!

go and download c.c.c 2.21 install lv5 with the custom TOD it will look better and performance will only be slighty worse then high. Make sure to run in dx9 by adding -dx9 to the end of the crysis shortcut.

Heres some pics of me running in dx9 at 1920x1200 using c.c.c 2.21 lv5 with the custom tod

[QUOTE="tehHaXo"][QUOTE="kevy619"] well the frostbite engine doesn't have the crazy draw distance and/or the amount of action.Spewaged

The foliage actually do a good job of concealment. If you do come under fire, don't hide behind a coconut tree.

[QUOTE="wurd"]yeah i find the cloak doesnt last long enough to get to cover sometimeschandu83

I agree I thought they did the cloack perfectly.

ditto

its challenging; difficult to master, easy to make mistakes with, but very fun to use. And you dont need cloak 60% of the time. Just dive into a bush, regain your power, then cloak and run to another bush. Playing cat and mouse with a four-man Korean patrol is one of the most rewarding gaming experiences I have ever had in my life.

and play it on Delta...trust me, the difficulty is extremely well balanced.

I can run it on max settings, max res and at 4x AA with dx10 and windows 7 64 bit on my 8800gt which is now 3 years old. Don't need a 5770 to make it look good. I just hope Crysis 2 will be just as good looking, and the new engine they calim to lower requirements while improving the graphics? somehow I don't belive that.

better screenies are needed, i took these from my pc

REALLY?! i have an 8800gts and can only play on high and not ultra. and with little to no AA. is a GTS worse than a GT? i always thought they were very similar.

ya, i have the 512mb one. so im surprised he can run it so well :O

Gratz on the 5770, I just ordered the XFX 5770 XXX the other day to replace my 9500 GT, can't wait to see what Crysis and BFBC2 will look like.

[QUOTE="bionicle_lover"]

[QUOTE="ferret-gamer"] 8800gts 320mb and 640mb are worse than a 8800gt. a 8800gts(g92) 512mb is newer architecture and more powerful than a 8800gt, it infact rivals the 9800gtxferret-gamer

only disappointment with the 5770 is it cant run mass effect. It keeps crashing out near the start with a 'first 4 bytes is zero' error that I can't resolve. Tried all new updates, bios flash, tweaking guides, running as admin etc but they don't work. Annoying because I held out to buy ME2 until I got this card but will probably get the same error with the unreal game engine.wurd

Does Bioshock crash too? I thought Bioshock is using the Unreal engine as well. It runs fine on mine. But, I eventually will buy BE as well. It'd be a shame if my pc can't run it.

Windows 7 definatley helped. Soon as I got 7 I pushed cysis to the limit. I couldn't do it on vista becuase it was too much of a system hog

Played Bioshock 1&2, finished Mass Effect 2 - zero crashes and no issues at all, although I was running them on 7.

About Crysis, I've got tempted by this thread to play and finish it again, just to refresh my memories how great it was,is.
