When will other games on pc look better then crysis?

Will there ever be other games on pc that will look better then crysis? Also in how many years will mid range graphics cards be able to run crysis on max at 60 fps?

The DX11 cards are already out:

Arma 2 looked rather nice...

unfortuently most games now are console focused because its easier to be lazy and produce a crappy game hype it to hell and itll sell. or just repackage the same game 5 different ways. thus developers cater to the weak hardware of the consoles instead of pushing the graphical limits.

crysis 2 if the CE3 tech comes through should look better

When a new engine comes out or if another developer makes a games with Cryengine 2. As of now Cryengine 2 is the most advanced. Most games use Unreal Engine 3 which can't match it.

There have been some comparable games but the first one to really blow the doors off Crysis will likely be Project Offset, since it's essentially a $50 tech-demo for Larrabee.

re5 and bm aa looks nice

crysis and crysis warhead will be the graphics king this gen..

nividia has failed me lately. i dont feel like paying $100 premium and even more in power and heat just for a few frames more.

im waiting for the hd5850 and to see if the cooler and pcb sees a smaller redesign anytime soon

Yea when I went from my x800 to the 7900Gs i never looked back. i love Nvidia now and I really love their products and will continue to buy from them. Also the addition of PhysX is a nice plus.

Depends of what resolution youre talking about. With a rez of 1680x1050 probably two more gens(Radeon 6000 or GTX400 series)

Ahh the GTS 250? :P

Seriously though, I know ATI is good at price/performance, but I like the raw power that the GeForce cards offer, plus, they're a lot more stable to superclock.

I see the extra money going to PhysX and the memory clock, oh sure the core clocks are lacking but that's what superclocking is for. :Dtagyhag

physx will hopefully be made irellevent with DX11. and the memory clock is slower on the nvidia cards. the only fast clock is the shaders and thats because theyre separate from the core clock where in ati theyre one and the same. also while nvidia uses a 512bit bus ati choose to overcome the limitations of a 256bit bus with GDDR5. although i hope they release a hd5890 with a 512bit bus

Hey guys remember when nvidia was charging $400 for mainstream and $500 for high end cards? That was so awesome! I just love being price gouged and it gives me a happy feeling! Damn ATI/AMD for coming out with the 4870 with it's better price/performance! Just who do they think they are forcing nVidia to lower their prices?

[QUOTE="tagyhag"][QUOTE="chadwardennn"] Actually, price/performance = raw power. Most of your money goes into the "raw power" and not into advertising "teh way its meant to be a player"...

[QUOTE="chadwardennn"] Physx is a money sinkhole, so I agree with ya. And what is this talk about memory clock.. lol... Nvidia brainwashing machine got ya?:| Check benchmarks, check price and buy (whether it be ati or nvidia).chadwardennn

Good luck with XP, Microsoft stoped supporting it... no more service pack.

Vista is not crap... the 64bit Vista is way better then XP.

Hi-five to buying with brains!

Here's my history.

ATI 9800 pro - One of the greatest cards ever, no ifs, ands or buts. Beat up all nvidia offerings.

ATI x1950 - smacked around the nvidia 7000 series in shader heavy games (Forced HDR + AA in oblivion FTW)

ATI 2900pro - crap card compared to nvidia, but I got it for free. Free > $400+ for a 8800gts/gtx/whatever.

ATI 4870 - Need I say anything more? I picked up a 2nd off ebay after a year for $90 and crossfire works very well.

When more devs start using the CryEngine 2.

so you COULD care less? so you do care then, and being as such you really wish you had an Nvidia and are fooling yourself into thinking that ati is bettershadow_hosi

I currently own an nVidia card..but this ATI vs. nVidia fanboy garbage is annoying. The logical action is to buy whatever is the best at the time of your purchase. ATI is currently the best choice in most areas of the GPU market. Period.

See, the problem I have with ATI cards is that they suck for overclocking. (Maybe it's just me)

And the driver support has angered me in the past.

well nobody likes ATI drivers for some reason. ive had no issues although i feel nvidia makes better ones.

as far as OCing goes ive never had a better experience than with ATI.

particuallarly the hd4830 and especially the hd4890.

my hd4830 got up to 610mhz from 575 and memory to 1950mhz. of course the fan had to be on max when i played games. however my hd4890 i have OCed to 950mhz from 850 and memory at 1130 from 1000 pretty good OC wouldnt you say? plus i only have to turn the fan up to 35-40% to keep in under 70c (on 40% it stays below 60c) at 50% or higher it stays under 50c under load overclocked. and i dont even have a cool case.

Crysis 2?

Project Offset, maybe?

glez13

Basing my next setup around those games apparantly they are optimized for Quad Cores, Phenom II X4 965 DDR3 setup along with what ever Nvidia is coming out with for £250 should cut through everything out now and do some damage to coming games such as those.

I dont see it happening for a long time. Although quite a few PC games have already matched/surpassed Crysis in other areas.
