Aegrus Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I'm considering buying Crysis 3. My pc has. . . -A super-clocked 560 with 1 gb of VRAM.-8 GB of DDR3 RAM at 1600 mhz.-AMD Phenom II six-core at 3.2 ghz. -A 1080p monitor. (I intend to play at 1080p) -An 800 watt Corsair PSU which I don't expect to cause any problems.-Some terribly slow hard drive which may or may not cause annoying problems for me, but doesn't in Battlefield 3 or Metro 2033. (I run BF 3 at ultra, and Metro 2033 at very high.) Assuming that my goal is that Crysis 3 never drop below 30 fps, what settings should I expect to use, if I buy it?

Thor. Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) In my past with similar specs as you i had trouble playing Cryisis 2 at 25fps maxed out at 1080P with that setup nearly identical to you'res, and that was Cryisis 2. now with the similar specs with crysis 3, i bet you would get high to medium setting with that at max. Struggling with slow downs depending on the scene. Although with 1gb ram it could be less then that considering the textures are all high resolution. just giving you a heads up what to expect from Crysis 3. Edited March 19, 2013 by Thor.

Phalanx108 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 My old build, comprising of an i5 3570k and a GTX680 2GB strained it on maximum settings. Tip to increase performance: Have texture settings on medium, and drop water quality down some. Everything else, toggle until you get optimal performance, but Water and Texture are the biggest drains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor. Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 My crossfire rig clocked at a amazing fps on the beta, not sure now but i bet with my current build i would be getting around 130fps maxed out everything. also including third party textures Same with Crysis 2 :thumbsup: Crysis 2 i hit around 150fps maxed out crossfire enabled two 7950's :teehee: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phalanx108 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) To add to that: Nvidia cards with the Kepler GPU take a goddamn DIVE when using TXAA. Avoid unless running 2+ 680's, a 690, or a Titan. Edited March 19, 2013 by Phalanx108 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegrus Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) After buying Crysis 3, I've discovered that I can run it at a stable 30 fps on high settings. Specifically, pretty much everything high settings, with a couple on very high/ultra, but only FXAA for anti-aliasing. I don't think I need more than FXAA at 1080p, though. So. . .yay! It looks amazing. Definitely happy about this; if I can put Crysis 3 on high, I see no reason why I'd need to upgrade my pc for the new console generation.

Aegrus Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Crysis 3 uses fxaa?? really?? i was hoping they would use something like smaa??? No, it doesn't use FXAA. I'm just enforcing it through Nvidia Inspector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
