Poor Performance in Crysis 2 with good PC...

Any ideas what the weakspot may be in my computer? Crysis warhead ran fine nearly maxed out but Crysis (I've tried all graphic settings, gamer, advanced, hardcore) and they all run about 5-20fps. I have the latest 11.2 ati drivers.

Spec:

ATI 4870x2 GPU

i5-750 @ 3.7ghz

4.0gb DDR3 RAM

Windows 7 Home Premium

Running at 1920x1200 res (24" monitor).

Thanks, any suggestions!

Can you disable CF on a dual GPU card?


Googling 'Crysis 2 demo 4870' bring up a whole list of people having problems with CF 4870 (and CF scaling in general).

I don't have that problem. My two 5870s run the demo just fine, with an average of 60FPS with all settings maxed out.

Lets not forget people its a beta so it'll not run as good as we hoped but for me I'm getting 30-60 fps on my 260 216 on Advanced settings but going to test Hardcore settings with my new 460 hawk I'm getting in the mail this morning. =DHekynn

wow! if people are getting THAT good frames with gtx 460s, i cant wait to see how my 2 gtx 560s do :)

so excited!!!!!!!

There is no sli/cf opimaztion in cysis 2, is most cases single cards are doing better then 2.

With my two 460's i was only getting 45-60 fps.

I managed to get 30-35 fps on my 5670.

Well of course not. The HD 4870 and 4870x2 are "older" technology while as you have the new toys. I have another gaming PC that uses and HD 4870x2 and it hasn't been known to have good video drivers. In Crysis Warhead, @ 1920x1200, 4xAA, very high, high mixed settings, I never saw the FPS go over 35, EVER. Not surprising though. Just sayin'. From my experience, ATi drivers back then were pretty horrid for this card. But nowadays, ATI turned AMD is so much better with their drivers. So don't come at me and say AMD hater. I'm refering to this card specifically (HD 4870 and 4870x2) and their drivers, especially for Crysis.

As for the demo and these cards, I don't even know if they have support for GPU's that have dual cards like the 4870x2. We'll have to wait and see.
