Sad performance in Crysis with Radeon 4870 ?

[darksmart]

Recently installed the crysis on my new system.The fps i am getting is very low and game sometimes lags when there is blast,smoke etc in the game.i read on forums that 4870 is good enough to handle crysis,gta4 etc.i am running game at 1024*768 and anti-aliasing at 2x.
But it runs playable at 800*600 with antialiasing 2x.also at this resolution,on upping the antialiasing to 4x,game starts stuttering.all settings at high.
specs-
Phenom x6 1090t
radeon 4870 1gb
2gb ddr2 ram
windows XP pro.

yeah i was using natural mod.so upping the resolution at bigger monitor will yield some more fps,that means.

now using triple c pack mod with very high end cfg file.the game looks very beautiful with that cfg file with lots of smoke,dust and effects.but still the fps remains same.i think the lower resolution is the culprit.
my phenom x6 goes at full 3600Mhz when seen with cpu-z with crysis.

Yeah thats turbo core, take away 3 cores, up the clock to 3.6 GHz. Crysis only uses 1 or 2, so thats good its doing that. Well i think the only culprit left here is the RAM, and maybe the low resolution. Fix the RAM, and it should fix it, but dont buy more ddr2 ram.

if u want more performance try and overclock ur gpu.at 1920 1080 i get bout 20-25 fps in crysis with 4 anti aliasing
Intel core i7 870 overclocked to 4ghz
MSI Nvidia geforce gtx 260 lightning edition 1792mb superclocked
650watt PSU
6GB DDR3 RAM 1600MHZ

Haha, yes but you also have a 870>1090T for gaming, especially at 4 GHz, 6 gigs of ddr3 ram, and a overclocked gtx 260...so i dont think its quite the fair comparison :lol:

Do you have Catalyst 10.7 & Crysis 1.21?
