People lying about Crysis 3 benchmarks

[blake1243]

My living room pc that i use for gaming has the following
HD7770
msi h61 mobo
8gb ddr3
pentium g860

When i play crysis 3 on medium settings@1080p i get 30 fps but it drops into 20's a bit. On low i get 45 fps.

I expected results like this as my system is nowhere near high, but was just to replace my console. But i look on the crysis forums and other people with 7770's claim to get high with like 60 fps. I even see videos with people playing crysis 3 on high and "saying" there using the 7770.

My question:
Anybody else with similar specs wanna share there FPS results from the Beta?

P.S
even at 45 fps the game does not feel smooth. everyother game i have the runs at 45 fps feels nice and smooth >.>. should i expect better optimizations from the official release? i don't really wanna but it if it runs like shi*t.

Are you NUTS? the G860 was part of toms $500 builder marathon build. Its the same thing as an i3, but without hyperthreading. Seriously dude, i hate when people just see pentium and don't do any kind of research. The G860 doesn't even bottleneck the 7850.

Yes, it WAS part of Tom's $500 builder marathon. Unfortunately, that was before the latest optimizations for multi-core CPUs in the latest games and updated graphics drivers from AMD. Your G860 is now inferior in the latest games to even an older AMD Phenon II X4 965BE with these software updates and optimizations. Read this:

The dopey anti-AMD 'moar cores' criticism from Intel zealots doesn't seem so clever anymore now, does it?

 

[blake1243]

I don't really care lol. Battlefield 3 looks better, has more people in each server, and runs better on my system. Crysis 3 looks great, but the graphics aren't as good as the performance hit it gives you. It's almost as if they made it just for a benchmark >.>.

Sorry this isn't a direct response to the original question but it looks like a good place to mention it. In toms sub $200 CPU test most games put the CPUs performance in the order most games have for years like this:

But the newest game Farcry 3 looks like this:

and Crysis 3 follows the trend even further (note GPU limited on the top ones) see:

Is this the way of the future? Was even the Phenom 965BE ahead of its time? I don't know and only time will tell, but I am happy AMD looks like its CPUs are competitive again keeping competition in the market will be good for all.

 

[Estacado]

i feel the game is not smooth even with 60 fps !

I'm loving it on my 975be and must confess to laughing at my intel buddies who are not getting the frames they feel they deserve /smirk

Even though I have an Intel CPU I am kind of happy that AMD's are starting to look better. Competition between manufacturers is generally not a bad thing. If Intel actually has some competition they will be forced to lower prices or lose customers, and in turn AMD will lower its prices even further.

 

[Motopsychojdn]

I fully agree 🙂 its only good for the customer in the end, a monopoly just lets prices rocket

The AMD FX 8350 has 8 threads. And Crysis 3 utilizes all of them. It's just one of those rare games that does. And what's better? The FX 8350 costs 80% less than the i7-3770k.
Most of the other games are not made for, using more than 4 cores, and so you can see Intel win in most other benchmarks.

The reason for Crysis 3 being so good in using all of your CPU's raw power? May be it's because of the latest console carrying 8 cores. And since games are built for the consoles, they make sure that 100% of the device's raw power is utilized. So with time we will see more games running better in the current top end AMD CPUs. Obviously, Intel will not sit and see it's figures going down.
That is, we can expect some real octa-core processors in near future.

I got these frame rates with the PC in my sig,

Tomshardware reviewers do show an enthusiasm for intel dual cores that doesnt seem to match up with the results I see in real life .

Your results are entirely predictable .

 

[Glite]

Try and overclock it, you should be recieving atleast 33fps constantly at lowest a 28fps just because it's a bottleneck.

A 7770 with no bottlenecks can get 40+ on high with a low res (1366x768)

 

[johndud]

So it's time for you to either drop an (overpriced) 3770K into your system to get more threads, or go AMD, and have a platform that'll provide the integer cores these new games crave, and be drop-in compatible with Steamroller near the end of this year.

Hooray for 3770k!

 

[voiidwulf]

Hooray for 3770k!

xD


Hooray for 3770 non-K!

Nope

Haha jk

 

[voiidwulf]

Nope

Haha jk

Wish I had gotten a K series CPU. Oh well, it isn't bottlenecking my setup.

i know this thread is a bit older but just thought id put in my thoughts about this for OP.

I have a phenom II X4 955, with a hd6950. I had built a system for a family member similar to the OP's with a pentium processor, sandy bridge of course. i put in my hd6950 for testing purposes because i really want to jump ship to intel and the pc i builts would be a cheap sidegrade for now to get in to intel since the chip and board were only $50-$60 each. with gaming and synthetic benchmarks i found the intel underperformed by a bit in a bunch of games then by a landslide in synthetic. so it could be the case of just optimization for the game wanting a quad over a dual, and i was also under the assumption a 7770 would match up well with the pentium series with minimal to no bottlenecking.

It doesn't even help me that much in games, I play modded COH and I still can't run it on ultra, idk why.

 

[blake1243]

Honestly, even with it all said, my hardware still plays games alot better than my PS3 which just locks crysis 3 @30fps anyways. I was hoping to drop an i5 3470 on my h61 board in a few months, but i don't want to upgrade for a few more years and it seems like the next gen console ports are gonna want 8 cores. Should have gone with the phenom, lol. But the games i play atm aren't bad on my G860 at all (Black Ops 2, Saints Row, few other)

 

[Sunius]

There will always be people who claim that they get better performance than they really do. I'd say it's impossible to get 60 fps on high settings with hd 7770, unless playing on low resolution. Personally on my GTX 560 Ti I get around 40 fps on high settings - and my CPU isn't bottlenecking for sure, as it's i5-2500k @ 4.3 GHz.

 

[sscultima]

Id say look at the bright side, if you really ever need it you always have a lot of upgrade options 😛

My buddy had a dual core Intel and bought a 7850 to play battlefield 3 and was seeing terrible frame rates. Gave him my old amd 955 and 880g mb and his frames literally doubled. Dual cores bottleneck some games like crazy. I have a 2500k now and love it. P.s if you have a micro center near by Intel is not over priced at all

Agreed.

But the i5-3570K is still overpriced even at MC compared to the i3 and i7 they have on sale. With the i7-3770K at $230, MC has me seriously considering breaking my vow to never pay more than $200 for a computer part.
