Yeah, with tons of mods, it's hard to beat.

 

Crysis 3.








You're in the ALPHA? How is it so far?

I've been considering joining the ALPHA, but I'm a little hesitant to pay money to be a play tester. I'm used to receiving money for that job. Did play testing for HALO 2 and a couple of Gearbox games.

 

dude... its alpha.. its not refined to run at its peak. its a graphics hog right now untill its refined. all three of my friends can run it at max.

and from what im reading its cheaper to buy in alpha. then when the game is complete they will raise the price

 

off all day. borderlands2 anybody??

 

Sweet thanks guys

 

Crysis 3 is a hog, Max everything will bring my 670 to its knees, still doesn't look very spectacular tho, I think some optimization is needed.

 

**** app!

 

I don't seem to have any problems running it on my HD 7870.

What kind of CPU are you running?

 

I can run it high/very high 70-80 fps, Max EVERYTHING puts me around 30-40, I have a i7 920 @ 4.0, don't think it's a CPU bottleneck. The card runs at 100%. Might just need a driver update.

 

Definitely not the CPU. You're probably comparable to my i5 @ 4.5GHZ.

What resolution? AA? AF?

I'm running in 1920X1200 with 8X AF and no AA. I find that with AA turned on there is a stutter. It's not slow frame rates, but it does have a frame rate stutter about every 5-10 seconds, regardless of what is going on. Turned it off and no stutter. Besides, I really don't even notice the AA in such a fast action game at 1920X1200 resolution.

I haven't bothered to benchmark mine in the game, but just going from my trained eyes I would say that I drop down into the 30s with everything on Max Detail settings except for the AA. I don't think I've run into a situation where it dropped below the 30s yet.

 

Far cry 3 is also a rather demanding game regarding graphics. It runs slowly on just about any system with FXAA at 4 or higher with the options maxed, or so I've read. Want to see if I could get crysis 3 to run at 60 with max settings on my system but its not worth the $ just to see if it will. I don't play very much anymore (not a lot of time) and I wouldn't use it enough to justify the expense.

 

 

Built a new rig about two or three months ago.

Gigabyte G2 Assassin rev2 mobo with core 7 processor, 16 gigs of DDR3 ram, two nividia 680 GTX graphic cards and right now two 1 terabyte WD Velocirator HDs in combination with a 27" monitor.

Yeah pretty good rig, I can run every game so far on max graphic settings with a minimum of 60 FPS (Skyrim, Crysis3, Secret World, and so on)

Still got some upgrades to do like porting my OS to an SSD and maybe going to a set of 690 graphic cards when the price comes down.

Would have gone with an SSD or SSDs and 690 graphic cards but I had a budget set and was willing to take the hit in performance since my old rig wasn't even half as good as this one.

 

Can you tell me how many games you play with that machine, because I can't think of but a handful

 

 

He became a nerd at the end. Lol

 

 

Think any console game but x10 better looking and double to quadruple the frame rate.

 

Lots of games.... And several pc only games too. Not to mention pc usually has more content in thier games

 

I'm still waiting for this list. Because PC titles are very limited. Enlighten me with a list of games you play
