lynx29honestly never finished the first crysis. thought it was kind of boring after the first 30 mins. bit overrated of a game imo, just popular cause of the "can it run badly optimized game" jokes/hype it always got.

lets hope crysis 4 is made on the unreal engine, so it will look great and run great. instead of on crap engine

FreedomEclipsewasnt there that Amazon game that was physically killing 3090's??

TheoneandonlyMrKAre you kidding, what other games even comes close to actually being inside the alien ship, the only trick they missed was reversing controls or something but was pretty epic, I wonder you finished it, and in the context of when it came out, it was revolutionary to be able to choose how to do whole missions.

TiggerHow does their engine suck?

DuxCroUp until Crysis came out, I was aconsole only gamer. Didn't even have a PC. Then, after seeing Crysis screenshots in local gaming magazine, I decided to buy my first PC. It worked like crap on medium settings. I loved it. Looking forward to this.

Kohl BaasAFAIK, Crysis was pretty well optimized. The source of the problem was GPU-design making a radical turn right after or shortly before launch. You might remember the GeForce 88xx GTy series, the first stem from fixed funcion design to the new era of GPGPUs. Crysis was optimised to a future that never came to be. I remember playing it on a 3yr old mid-grade computer just fine. You just wasn't suppose to crank up the graphich to "future that never came to be" hights.

And there was a few things that Crysis pretty much did as a first. For exaple, the level of AI was unseen before. The fact that the enemy reacted tonthe movement of the foilage was amazing. The jungle-fight in that game was like in the movie Predator. You haven't seen that before...

Hyderzcool! lets see the new updated cry engine :D

robbCrysis 1 is an upoptimized pile of crap. Morons for years kept thinking all it needed was more gpu power but part of the issue in the end was being insanely cpu limited. Not even a 9900k can maintain 60 fps the whole time in that old pos game. The remaster is a pile of crap too and also insanely cpu limited dropping well below 60 fps at times with settings cranked. It is hilarious to be nearly fully gpu limited and then look in the other direction and have gpu isage drop to 50% and fps tank. Go watch the digitalfoundary vidoes on it.

neatfeatguyCrysis is multi-threaded, despite what others may tell you or claim based on what I tested years ago, although it's not that great in terms of using multiple cores. The game does make use of two cores decently enough, adding a third core adds a minuscule improvement and 4+ cores doesn't add any kind of benefit - at least that's what I found when I ran the game off my Phenom II x4 940.

I used to have the information saved somewhere, but for the life of me I can't find it - I'm sure it got deleted at some point, thinking the data saved wasn't relevant anymore. Anyway....

(below is just an example, not actual numbers but from memory it worked out something along these lines)
I set the affinity to 1 core and was pulling 95% CPU activity on that core and fps were around 30.
Then I set the affinity to 2 cores and was pulling around 85-90% on core 1 and around 40% on core 2 and fps were around 35.
Then I set the affinity to 3 cores and was pulling around 85-90% on core 1, around 35% on core 2 and around 10-15% on core 3 (however, I couldn't say for certain that most of the activity was just OS based functions running in the background since the use of core 3 was pretty minimal) and pulled around 36 fps - so no real change from 2 cores.
Setting all 4 cores to be active gave the same performance as 3 cores, with the 3rd and 4th core only having minimal usage.

But, this was all done back when Crysis came out. With the big strides in CPU performance since the Phenom days and early Core 2 duo days from Intel it is very well possible that today's CPUs are fast/strong enough for a single core to be more than enough for the game and that the game is just poorly optimized - which looks to be the case unfortunately.
