2 9800gtx's and crysis

[usspfnorman]

how well do you guys think crysis will play on a 28" high def monitor with 2 9800 gtx's sli'd on a 780i board and an e8400, just kinda curious

 

[usspfnorman]

i apologize this is more than likely in the wrong spot for this question

 

[th_username]

yeah

 

[customisbetter]

you said e8500 so it counts. It will do awesome in 1080. You probably can can half high, half very high.

IM currently MAXED but not on full AA but everything is MAX whit my setup and crysis run smootly.
(1650x1080)

P5N32-E SLI+ E6850 @ 3445mhz - 2G OCZ @ 920mhz 4-4-4-15 - Single 9800gtx+ - 14500 3dmark06

Your definition of 'smoothly' must be very different that mine. I score 17500 in 3DMark06 and myy 9800GTX+ overclocked, q6600@3.6ghz and 4gb ram probably wouldn't run Crysis very well(under 30fps) on max settings at the resolution.

 

[boulard83]

CRYSIS benchmark all maxed gives me 25fps AVG. only a BIG BIG action time in game will result in a fps drop. Just have to lower few settings to have over 30fps all the way.

The 9800's are great cards but Crysis is one of those games that plays much better with GPU solutions that have more than 512MB video RAM at its disposal. I hate seeing Crysis as a measuring stick only because it isnt superb IMO but poorly optimized.

 

[boulard83]

LOLL nice answer roofus !

 

[justinxtreme]

hey crysis is not"poorly optimized" well for high end cards maybe

my freinds geforce 8400gs 256MB GDDR2 oc'ed can play the game on 1440x900 No AA Medium-High settings at around 20FPS to 40FPS.

Crysis is mostly optimized for low end cards instead of high end mostly. Not really sure though.

...what? Your friend is lying, if you ask me.

 

[customisbetter]

^^Lies.
Maybe you meant that he has an 8800 Gt? That would be about right.

 

[boulard83]

8400gs is a LOW end card ...

GeForce 8400 GS 256MB 64-bit 6.4gb\s 3.6 fill rate

Its not a gaming card at ALL. its a VISTA card.

 

[roofus]

^ What he said. It's the equivalent to an onboard graphics solution.

No way.
