		CRYSIS crisis
I'm bored and feel link ranting and this is the only place I can rant about something like this. It seems that the graphics hungry community are up in arms about the new Crysis demo and its poor performance on high spec machines. 'where is my 80 fps lawl!?' First of all I would like to state that this is basically what happened when Farcry came out and just like then when the next lot of graphics cards come out they will eat the game for breakfast. In the mean time it seems that everyone has to either tone down the graphics or just put up with lousy frame rates. Both nVidia and ATI must be loving this, with the release coming out soon and people whispering about getting another graphics card to make a SLI/crossfire setup that should fix their problem. I will not be surprised if a new graphics card line hits our shelves within the next two months, because of this they will sell like hotcakes. In the mean time I am sure that upon getting an extra 4fps as a result of purchasing another $1,200(AUD) 8800GTXOC (or ATI equivalent) for a pointless SLI setup will calm your soul...that was sarcasm, your doomed and so is your bank balance. SLI...crossfire...its a waste of time and money, in some cases it is slower than the single GPU. I am not going to justify why I feel this way, nor do I feel I need to it should be logical, you bought two of the same graphics card and you have basically the same performance well done you have been sucked into an excellent marketing campaign. I am horribly disappointed with my 8800GTX, not because of performance, oh hell no it eats everything for breakfast, but because Furgle's brand new 8800GTS (which was $200 cheaper) does the exact same thing! What is the visual difference between 80 and 90 FPS? A number which fraps is waving in your face. OK back onto the topic of Crysis. From the demo I can conclude that it will be a game which I will enjoy. The Nano suit adds a nice piece of game play which causes the player to think; 'what buff do I need for doing this'. The only thing it lacks is a back stab technique (maybe I have been playing a spy too much). The thing that has impressed me most with the game is the music, too long it has been since a piece of scenery which would normally be discarded as nothing was made great by an interlude of a simple dramatic musical score. Along with these music triggers is Farcry's dramatic music change which depends on what the player is doing. Music is essential for creating great atmosphere, I cant stress that enough. I just hope that all of this inst ruined by a crappy storyline (ala Farcry) Ok so Crysis's('s?) check list goes as follows: Cool Nano suit which bestows super human powers, check Aliens, check Korean soldiers, check The best real time jungle atmosphere ever made, thats a big check (Futurama movie soon!) Eye candy galore, check Computer that runs all of this maxed out, errr give the market 4 months About 40 company logo intros that I CANT skip, check (urg ) Free publicity from people bitching about how it doesn't run well, mega check Now back to the original topic of performance; I'm going to cover why the game doesn't run so well...so far I have found that I can get a playable frame rate average of 25fps on my computer with these settings: Settings: 1440x900 with NO AA Everything on VERY HIGH with exception of either 'Post processing' or 'Shaders' Computer: 8800GTX 4gig Gskill 800mhz DDR2 e6850 3.0ghz 1333FSB (stock, planning on doing an OC...waste of time? probably) Asus p5k deluxe (shitted off about the shitty sound card on this mobo...it sucks ass) Vista ultimate 64bit (if you don't have vista by now you are living in an ignorant cave or don't have more than 1gig ram) Now I know what you are thinking, '25 FPS WTF!? thats slow LAWL HAX!!' but as I stated before the engine is coded very very well, unlike Farcry the game slows down as the frame rate does, so no 'jumping' effect. Was the game designed in an environment of similar FPS? I don't know, all I know is that I don't have the same problem at 25FPS that I do if lets say counter strike gets that low. Hell the only reason I know that it is that low is because FRAPS tells me, and I am not the only one. There have been a few cases of forum posters claiming to have gotten 40-80FPS only to find out to their horror that their eyes were lying to them. Ok this is my speculation as to why it is running the way it is, and yes this is me 'talking out of my ass' (thank you Furgle for that choice of words on various topics I speculate on), I don't work at Crytec and my experience with making games is minimal with that compared to a professional 3d coder. That aside this is what I have found with my own research; Shaders; These funny little things are what make the sand and the pebbles in the forest appear to be 3d. They are using their own version of parallax's mapping which the have probably renamed to something of their own (polymorph 2.0 maybe). For some reason this causes a lot of damage to the FPS, it really shouldn't its an old effect that has been etched into the very core of todays cards. UT3 ran fine, this should too. Possibly something that will be fixed in the future...or maybe I am overlooking something. Post Process; As the name suggests these are the effects that are added to the rendered image to make it look better, they are; Brown filter (coz brown is real), motion blur (the best motion blur i have seen yet) and depth of field and sunbeams. Although these effects seem relatively simple and thus in expensive they most certainly are not. The biggest killer for post process time is the resolution (and also anti aliasing). So really you are going to have to decide between jaggies or less eye candy. Can drivers fix post process...maybe but don't get your hopes up. In conclusion, if you want to play the game either lower the rez or lower the graphics and insted of bitching about how it doesn't run how about aprreciating the gameplay because if you just want realism with something you dont enjoy doing how about you look out the window? If you want a new computer wait for the next gen cards to come out and get the GTS, spend the money you saved by not getting a GTX on Crysis and play it at max graphics while laughing and everyone who was stupid enough to buy midway through the year when the games weren't projected for release till December. In the mean time go buy orange box, play portals, and then waste the next few weeks on team fortress 2. Now that rant was big and fun, does this mean Farcestudios is back? Probably not, does this mean I will update the comic, maybe one or two then I'll stop again. Does this mean anyone has read this rant, most likely not....meh Edit, for some real fun play the game in windowed mode 800x600 (no AA) with everything on very high. Also I am annoyed that I didn't get to cover everything I wanted to in this rant...oh well its big enough as it is. - Joeyjoejoe
