Crysis 3

[gameranand]

^^ AFAIK only MP beta is available for now.

 

[anirbandd]

Guys!! Anyway to download the single player beta now?
Downloaded the multiplayer one, but it worked ok only for the first time. After that whenever I started the game the screen used to flicker for some time and then the game gets minimized to the task bar.

afaik, it is known as a demo. but demos are a thing of the past. devs do not make demos now, do they??

 

[cyborg47]

single player beta!? is there even a thing called single player beta?!

 

[sam142000]

Sorry, my bad. It was called "Crysis3 Alpha" not "Crysis3 single player beta".

 

[cyborg47]

I just realized that the game is dx11 only, so no dx10 graphics cards supported, even if you have something like a gtx260, utterly stupid move by Crytek.

 

[anirbandd]

uh oh.. any chance of dx9/10 support in final release??

Totally depends on the backlash from the fans, if there would be any.

 

[Gaurav265]

i am also waiting for dx9/10 support.but i think they are not going to do this.

Nope

On the + side even a 7770 should be able to play this at low, or a 7850/660 at medium high, 7870 at high, and a 7950/660Ti will be able to max it out @ 1080P, for constant 60+ FPS a 7970/680 would be good.

I dont think C3 will be that taxing
Besides If HD 7770 can only play C3 at low.. how the hell will PS3/Xbox 360 C3 look like ?
As of the beta gameplay, HD7770 can do really well


no idea if the video is genuine tho

 

[gameranand]

Well its definitely not good to just dump the rest of the gamers in trash.

Yeah, since GTX285 still matches and beats 7770 across all benchmarks: AnandTech - Bench - GPU12
Also applicable to G200 SLI setups and GTX295, sad for them

optimised. PS3/XBox is unchanged h/w from the dev to the gamer. what the devs develop on, the gamers play on. so its highly optimised. plus the consoles are capped at 30FPS. thus high visual fidelity can be reached though a continuous cycle of optimisation.

PC, on the other hand has a infinitely varied combination of hardware, which is almost impossible to optimise for. in this case, only GPU drivers are somewhat optimised, that too, by the chipset makers.

 

[ithehappy]

Well C2 was fantastically optimized, even with that HD texture and DX11, so I have hope for this game, little however.
Nvidia and that other brand definitely paid them in high to force to make a upgrade of GPU for this one. Let's see...

Yeah, except for the tessalated sea ON LAND, google it.

A little dedication and inability to buy a gaming rig would do. Trust me I have faced it.



Yeah sure, I am tired of my current set anyway.

Anand is right about his version of playability, there were GPUs and games which in past had put up a fight to render at most 20-22 FPS, its just that there were three points which made us immune to the lag, stuttering and all other obstacles to a proper soothing gameplay

1. The game itself...which is so unimaginably attractive and we fall in love with it so much that we start to give a s***t about graphics and manage to play it by any means.
2. The game engine and GPU combo which somehow manage our eyes that "even if its 25 fps, i will show it to you almost as beautiful as 30+", happened to many games and we played through.
3. lack of realization or self consolation to an extreme proportion, like "i dont know a crap about FRAPS and i dont care kitna deti hain" or "i know my GPU is crying inside bent on knees and the game is dragging itself but musst..pllaay...ggames...a lil more.... aaand the games beaten"

the above applicability is withered through time now and games now a days especially like crysis if played in lower than 30-40,looks and feels like a boar in a rose bush. makes no sense of playing it that way, better beem up someday and rip that s o b down with a Titan or ARES 2 or have at least decent cards which gives 60+

This.
When I used to game on my previous RIG I never used fraps because it kinda breaks you heart and it says that you can't play because everyone says that 20fps is not enough. Now turn fraps off and you don't know what you are getting, all you know that a game needs to be beaten no matter what.

 

[tkin]

I never use fraps, it bothers me, as long as I don't see choppiness its fine.

 

[cyborg47]

^^this!! so important in fps, particularly the ones like Crysis.
