The New "Can it run Crysis" Standard...

[xtreemchaos]

yes and no, yes you need a patch for it to run on 64 and no you cant get it to use all assets . a mate of mine even got it to run in VR but it wasnt great.

 

[Splinterdog]

I'm downloading it as we speak, surprised to find that it was only $5.99, thinking it was going to be $30
They really have set the bar, so the meme has new life breathed into it, but I must admit that it is way overused, particularly in YouTube comments. Stay away from those if you want to remain sane.

 

[xtreemchaos]

its still £17.99 here on steam in the uk, carnt remember how much i payed for it ive had it a good while but it wouldnt of been no where near that 17.99 im a tight git . enjoy.

 

[phill]

I wonder if there will be tests with 2 3090's when they arrive....??

 

[metalfiber]

That's a hell no it can't run it...because of Denuvo....

I got it on Epic but I don't see it on Steam and it was originally touted at $30.

it was actually extremely shader heavy, i've seen a 7800gs run at 2fps while an 8800gt would be 25fps on the same settings, it really couldnt run on older architectures 'the way it was meant to be seen', the low settings were awful in crysis 1 (while in crysis2, the lowest was named high, the visual difference was not at all jarring even with the performance gains)

later levels still top out at 80fps on modern 5ghz intel, so it's still lacking parallel optimization

Hmm, got any save files from these areas? I haven't seen it get anywhere near 80 fps on my laptop. And by anywhere near I mean it's always well in excess of 80, not that I can't get as high as 80. Laptops CPU has single-core turbo of up to 5.1 GHz though, so it's a fairly powerful CPU (i7-10875H).

SLI isn't a thing anymore.

 

[FinneousPJ]

Linus has had a chance to play with a preview version of Crysis Remastered.

The remaster is going to breath new life into the term that has been a meme even before "memes" had a name.

For fans of the game, I think we're in for some old fun with new hotness!

Actually Dawkins coined the term meme in 1976.

Anyway, looks bloody great. MSFS20 and this will be the benchmarking kings lol. Probably Cyberpunk as well.

Wrong-
Now, with Ampere, Nvidia has limited SLI to the RTX 3090.

The only card to support NVLink SLI in this latest generation will be the RTX 3090 and will require a new NVLink bridge which costs 79 USD.

[MrGRiMv25]

you havent seen people writing or yelling "the cake is a lie" since 2007?

(did you play portal? also, i was looking at hl1 prototype footage from 1996... it, or the training area, was exactly like portal test chambers, seems valve has had that idea for much longer than expected)

Portal was an idea from a bunch of people who made Narbacular Drop, then Valve brought the team in to make Portal based from that original design.


Personally I don't think this Crysis remaster looks all that great , considering it was an early build he was playing I hope they up the ante a bit.

 

[Splinterdog]

I can run Crysis Remastered at high settings, but with only around 40fps on my lowly RX580.
The CIRC mode would probably bring my PC to its knees.

 

[xtreemchaos]

I got it on Epic

i was on about the old one, the remastered one on epic here in the uk is £27.99 i wont be buying it for a good while when the modded og looks as good.

They should give you it free when you buy two cards I think!!

With the customer slamming down that much money on the counter, I agree!

The worst thing about Crysis Remastered is that this stupid joke is going to come back to life. I'd still see it every now and again, but it had one foot in the grave.

It's a standard that was very useful for helping those people not in the know understand in basic terms the power of a system. The remaster just takes that to the next level for current gen equipment. I think it's cool. But then again, I'm a big fan of the original game, so I have some bias and nostalgia going on...

I also like the original game and actually had no issues playing it on a Nvidia 8600GT at the time, the game scaled relatively well. The one thing I did not like about the game is how it really changed the PC gaming industry at the time. You had this new wave of PC gamers (I call them Crysis babies) who believed in this almost "masochist" relationship between their PC and video games. The mark of a "good" game became one that could melt your PC forcing you to scrap it and build a new one. These gamers were basically begging for AAA games to be unplayable at the highest settings and Nvidia/ATI (AMD) were only too happy to push developers into using obscene shadow, draw distance levels, etc., to help push sales of high end cards. Obviously there was a symbiotic relationship between the video card companies and game developers but Crysis really solidified how a game can help push hardware sales...even if that game really didn't sell well at launch. Prior to crysis most PC game graphic issues had to deal with games that were not optimized well. NVW2, F.E.A.R, Call of Juarez, Oblivion all came out in late 2005 or 2006 with recommendations of just an Intel P4/ Athlon XP and Nvidia 6600GT. One year later Crysis is recommending a dual core and a GPU with 3x the video ram of previous year's titles (and still not really playable on the highest settings with that hardware).

 

[P4-630]

First time I played the original Crysis was with a X1950Pro or ATi HD3870 (GDDR4, pcie) and Pentium 4 630 CPU, 1280x1024 monitor.

 

[Ruru]

I had a 7800 GT when the demo came out and it was borderline unplayable even on low/1280x1024 res.

~1 year later I built an entire new PC with a 8800 GT and that was about enough to play through the game on medium-ish settings, not sure about the fps numbers since I wasn't really checking back then but it was playable.
Monitor was also upgraded to a 1680x1050 res one.

It was kinda funny when my bro tried to max out the game with his E8400/8800 GTX cause thats what he was used to with other games and Crysis just noped his entire system.

Finished it with 6800 GS, 1024x768 low (effects high), though I had to drop to 800x600 on the last stage.

 

[Splinterdog]

I don't wish to go off topic, but if we're talking Crysis Remastered in general, I ran the original on a P4 3.2, 4GB ram and a Leadtek 6800GT 512MB and the most i could get on high was about 25fps if I was lucky, but I still had loads of fun.
What I'm most chuffed about is my Price on Epic of $5.99. Not sure how that works because I didn't know that Epic geo-priced games.
Edit:
Yes they do have regional pricing:

Does the Epic Games Store have regional pricing? - Billing Support

Yes. We do support regional pricing. We also have a set of suggested regional discounts based on local norms that are regularly reviewed.

[xtreemchaos]

ive put it on my wish list so thay will let me know if the price drops. yes thats a great price you got it at buddy.

 

[Ruru]

Personally I wouldn't buy it from Epic even if it would be 1EUR. I just refuse to buy anything from there.

But who's going to dev for it now? No one. AFAIK, Crysis ReMstrd isn't going to have SLI support.

Thinking back about it, I originally ran it in DX9 mode because Vista was crap until SP1. It wasn't until Windows 7 that I finally played it in DX10 mode.

 

[pantherx12]

I have questions for other users.

Does the benchmark run like crap and show loads of page file errors at the end?

Can't even launch very high or above settings and it also appears to only use 2gb of ram ( doesn't say if v ram or general ram)

So confused.

 

[lexluthermiester]

I didnt know what a meme was until 2-3 years ago, I'm 39. I dont follow stupid internet trends, including words.

Same here.

 

[Bubster]

WELL it's good Business for Nvidia make SLI with Nv link only available to People who will shell out nearly 3600 $ for 2 3090 s and and nvlink for 80 bucks. and kill support for the pascal sli and others so they will be forced to upgrade at hefty prices...Just like Gordon Gekko in wall street Movie said (Greed is good!!!)
