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

[FinneousPJ]

The Radeon 5700XT had it's fair share of black screen criticism, but it wasn't due to manufacturing process or heat issues. The 3080 is a Marketing Disaster for Nvidia lol, and well deserved I might add. Hopefully RDNA2 delivers while NV deals with there Ampere problems.

RTX 3090 reviews are coming out now and well it's not great.

This remaster totally sucks, sorry.

Here's a comparison with the Enhanced version which still uses DirectX 10 and looks leaps and bounds better:

Also, according to Digital Foundery the game is still largely single threaded and looks like it computes geometry (or does something similar) using the CPU which is just inexcusable in 2020:

Am I to understand that the PC version (2007) was ported to console, remastered and what we just bought is in fact a port?
If that's the case, why didn't they remaster the original PC version?

Because original PC version is on CryEngine 2 while the console versions are on CryEngine 3.
While some effects and content were lost to this there are also updates to the engine that they would have had to redo if they started with original PC version.

Will someone (maybe they already have) release a resolution update for the GOG version.

then south park had a meme episode less than half a year later, so that means enough memes were already in circulation

"Use the approved poses if you wanna be a memer: peace sign, bunny ears, fake wiener!"

but even that's an outdated engine too.
Isn't that the point to "remaster" is to put on a decent modern engine that's mutli-threaded.
Not to just take a garbage port and port it back to PC.
Garbage is still garbage, no matter how you polish it

 

[Vayra86]

Didn't see it and the reason I didn't look had everything to do with the attitude you displayed. Don't be so aggressive next time.

No its your tunnel vision man. You getting your panties in a bunch because of tone of voice is completely a YOU affair.

Not the first time. Reflect...and learn

Is there a resolution problem? I don’t think I heard of it.

Aaaaaand, they obviously moved it from one engine to another to go to console. To say they couldn’t do it again is making excuses for them. That’s what remasters do, mostly, so they could have done the same with the pc version to update it.

Crytek had an excellent chance to shine here with their SVOGI tech and updated engine. Existing codebase, so all the effort could have gone into making it superb looking and running smooth. They just had to go cheap on it.

Its so infinitely stupid, they've inflicted brand damage on their engine, themselves and the Crysis franchise with this. its not even fixable without a complete overhaul or just straight up starting over.

I bought one of those dual GPU cards back in the day. Funnily enough I think the 3080 today is about the same power as those were. It ran mad hot as I recall.

Are we talking about the 9800GX2 or the GTX295? The GX2 was a solid card but wasn't enough to do 1080p with all settings on high. The 295 was though. That card was a 1080p beast. But it was also a wattage beast and it ran hot.

Yeah, Warhead was much better optimized.

It was a bit more refined, true.

What do you mean? Is there a resolution that won't run for you?

Exactly! It's what they needed to do. Whatever silly nit that made the decision to go with the console versions as a base instead of the PC version needs to be beotch-slapped, forced to redo it and get it right.

Yeah it was definitely the GTX 295. Absolute highest-end in 2009 -- price 500 USD and TDP 290 W. Those were the days eh.

recently played through the original again, very enjoyable still, and still looks pretty nice on high settings. Not gonna bother wasting my moolah on this "remastered" crap

What is your "FPS" @1080p max settings.

EDIT: Please upload a Screenshot showing fps

 

[Assimilator]

Why is anyone surprised by this? Crytek has long since ceased to be an actual content-creating company, now they're an almost-bankrupt company that tries to make money by suing Amazon and releasing half-assed ports.

Actually all on very high. still runs very acceptably.

Well that's interesting. A reviewer was saying no matter the hardware, no one is able to get 60 fps+ with the original version as it only use two threads max by the CPU.

If I find the Youtube video again I'm going to post it here, because what they said seems to be wrong, unless I missed something & he's was talking around that time, when the game was released.

My fps is actually very good. as you can see my 1080 is very happy over 2100 core too

Yeah, whoever that was is nuts. My laptop runs the original just fine. By laptop standards, it's a monster of a CPU, but still:

Averaging 165 fps on max settings across a minute of gameplay. Might dip lower in other areas, but I doubt it'd dipping under 60 anywhere.

That's with a i7-10875H and a RTX 2070 Super Max-P. My CPU does 5.1 GHz on a single-core, so for games that aren't heavily threaded it's a pretty obscene CPU.

EDIT: Played for another 10-15 minutes, fps seems to average 140-200.

 

[Ruru]

I remember already getting 60+ with very high 1080p on Pentium G3258 @ 4.7GHz & GTX 670 @ 1.2GHz. Not THAT demanding after all.

 

[Prime2515102]

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 lasted much longer than "can it run Quake?" didn't it? lol

Check the video, Remastered medium draw distance essentially matches original's very high.

I had very high draw distance on in the original, was still able to double or triple 60 fps easily.

No, the worst thing is that it's in Epic store.
