Low fps crysis 3

[skarthick747]

My specs are
Intel i7 4770k 3.5ghz
Kingston 8x2 16gb ram
Nvidia geforce gtx 730 4gb ddr5
Antec 750w power supply
1tb Seagate hdd
Asus H81m-cs motherboard
Windows 10 enterprise

I was able to play gta5, cod ww2, cs go and many such games. My system temperatures are 35 to 45°c.

Although if I play crysis at high specs then gpu usage is around 80% when in low specs it's around 16%.

In low specs fps is around 40 but in high its 11 not playable.

First off, there's no such thing as a GTX 730, just GT 730, and it only had 1 or 2 GB VRAM, never 4GB.

The GT 730 is a very weak GPU, only scoring 922 on Passmark, while the minimum required for Crysis 3 GTS 450 scores 1558. The stated requirements for Crysis 3 are very understated and unreliable though.

I have a 7970, which scores 5248 on Passmark, and even I get less than 30 FPS in parts of Crysis 3, even with compromised settings. Most gamers would never attempt to play a game like Crysis 3 on a mere 730, but certainly not "at high specs".

Crytek were never very good at stating requirements for their games, or organizing or talking about settings options. Furthermore their CryENGINE was never very well optimized, which is probably why not many devs have used it.

On your end though you have very unbalanced spec. You have a pretty powerful CPU, but very weak GPU, yet the PSU is WAY more powerful than you need. The good thing is all you have to do is get a better GPU to make that a very capable gaming rig. I suggest at the very least a GTX 1060.

One other minor thing is your MB doesn't support the OCing the K series CPU is capable of, but you really don't need to OC a CPU that good.

Thank you for answering to my question
I made a mistake in mentioning about the gpu name. Sry abt that.
UT is nvidia geforce gt 730 4gb ddr5. It's by zotac.
I don't plan to upgrade my gpu any time shortly.
Why is my MB not capable of OC ing it

Why is my MB not capable of OC ing it

None of the H series MBs are overclockable. They were designed more for things like HTPC (Home Theater PC) than gaming.

In that case i wont be able to do anything unless i change my motherboard. suggest some good ones which is suitable for my pc. i bought this preety recent so big upgrades are not something i would look forward to.


Also i was able to play call of duty world war 2 in medium settings at 70 to 80 fps. why is crysis 3 so special its old compared to cod ww2 still its so laggy i dont understand.
sorry im preety noob to all this stuff.

what changes do i have t make to make mine a good pc or in ur words balanced.

Also after some Googling I found asus has allowed H series to be overclocked.

ASUS is known to do some custom stuff, for instance they have their own version of Realtek's ALC1220 audio, which they dub s1220a.

I don't get why you insist on clinging to the H series MBs though, especially if you're limited on funds. ASUS MBs tend to cost a bit more.

Anyways, you've yet to mention a budget, but as I already stated, a GTX 1060 would be quite a step up, even on your current MB. Take care of the GPU first. If you can at some point afford an overclockable MB, then do that later. You'll need an aftermarket cooler to OC the CPU though. If you ask me, such things are not top priority on a budget build, especially since you already have a pretty good CPU, even at stock speed.

I can't stress enough that the real weak link in your rig is definitely the GPU, not the stock CPU speed. Even the non OCable MB is practically a non issue compared to your GPU.

As for why Crysis 3 runs poorly, it's a combination of advanced shaders, a poorly optimized engine, and their having tied together certain settings, which makes it impossible to fine tune settings. You pretty much have to drop shaders and shadows pretty low on weak spec.

That said, I really liked that they at least offered tons of script commands on Crysis 1 so users could really fine tune settings beyond what you could do in the game's graphics settings. Because of that I was able to come up with my own custom tweaks on Cry 1, which allowed me to run it on a mere P4 single core CPU, with mediocre GPU, with max textures, med shadows and shaders, at 1200x900, with plenty playabe frame rate.

The reason they stopped offering script commands in Cry 2 and 3 was because too many players whom didn't have a clue how to use them complained that the game was horribly unoptimized, so CryTek over reacted and dumbed down the settings on Cry 2 & 3. So I blame the noobs just as much as CryTek for the demise of Crysis.

For the record, I have no experience in programming or even extensive modding. All I did was read the TweakGuides.com guide for Crysis 1 until I found which commands to use. Other than that I spent about an hour of trial and error script changes until I found out which command to use to keep the foreground from being blurry. It was a combination of using Low Object Quality, with High veg draw distance.

Try upgrading your graphics chip. Geforce GT 730 is not that power which can get you good frame rates on high-end resolutions, secondly it is way old now many new GeForce are available in market which is better in quality and good in price but you can also opt for a decent Radeon GPU try getting a Rx550 or RX 560 both are good mid-range cards powerful enough to run most games on medium-high settings.

Thanks
Only thing that still puzzles me is how I was able to play cod ww2 with 40 to 50 fps in High settings. That game is a monster with 6gb vram requirement. I adjusted Bios and fan speed and now crysis 3 is smooth. Thanks for the help.

No offense, but that all sounds a bit unrealistic really. From the GT 730 YouTube captures I've seen of CoD WWII, it's more like a couple settings at High, the rest Normal, IF you have your res set pretty low, like 1366x768. At 1080p, which is today's standard of reference for gaming, it's more like a mix of Normal and Low settings.

I can't stress enough that your rig deserves a more capable GPU. Until then it will remain to be very unbalanced and limited in what it can do.
