I used to have a Geforce 9500GT. I ran crysis at 1024x768 medium settings with low frame rates.
Now that I have a GTX 260 216shader sc, I'm still running crysis 1024x768 on medium settings with low frame rates.
What's going on?
I try to play the game on 1650x1050(monitor resolution 20"), but it runs like garbage. I get 20-25 fps and it dips to 11fps sometimes. When I turn it to 1024x768, I'm still getting the same frame rates, but it only dips to 15fps.
I checked Riva Tuner and it doesn't look like my GPU is being used that much. At Idle, my GPU is at 29celsius. I checked Rivatuner right now after turning off crysis and it says the GPU was 38celsius at the highest load. When I run games like COD 4,5 and 6 the GPU load hits 61celsius at max.
Is my gpu even being used? Is Crysis more GPU or CPU intensive?
If it's mor CPU intensive then I undersatnd since I haven't upgraded my cpu/mobo yet. But if it's GPU intensive, then what's going on?
Here are my specs.
ECS G31T-LM 2 motherboard.
Nvidia GTX 260 16shader overclocked to 760/1537/1179 (hasn't crashed yet during any game play. Seems stable). Would overclocking slow down performance in anyway? I'm not seeing any major heat generation from the video card so I'm concerned about if it's even being used.
4megs DDR2 667mhz 2x2 memory
Intel E5200 2.5gigs (not overclocked, can't due to motherboard)
Thermaltake 600w purepower GPU
HAF 932 case with 3x230mm fans, 1x120mm case fans.
Just a bit frustrated by this game. Is it one of those games that wasn't properly coded like GTA 4? Btw, that game runs like *** for me too.
