There was this german site, who were at CeBIT who were playing everything on full 1920 x 1200 on a single 8800GTX witch no problems. I'll try and find it again, not sure what ram and CPU they use'd
No way! Here I am planing a massive system wide upgrade for Crysis and your telling me I only need a 8800GTX.. Maybe I don't need a sli system after all
lol, so you're someone that has to have their stuff cranked to the max. Admittedly, if I had the money, I would too, my 7800GTX is holding it's own quite well though, should get half decent performance on crysis at 1280x1024, although I won't get any of the DX10 snazzyness, but I'm not that bothered.
I know what you mean, if the detail wasn't enough, you've got the massive view distance, it's incredible. No idea why crysis looks this good but Oblivion looks horrible.
has any one seen real high ress screenies? like 1600 by 1200 maxed out that actually ran above say 40fps...
Pretty amazing stuff I must say, however these are little scaled down images. It's hard to make a proper judgement without seeing full res images!
The difference will become apparent when it's run on an actual screen and you can see the flickering textures they occasionally miss, hear soldiers shout the same things over and over and get annoyed by the AA. That said, it looks effing gorgeous.
I've seen hi-res comparison shots of this kind before from Cyris, whilst the thumnbail views are pretty similar, as soon as yoiu up the res the game stands out a mile, it really isn't that amazing. The new crysis engine is one of those engines that looks great in screens, but suffers awfully when actually played. Even at maximum graphics (which I will presume is what the trailers out use) the LOD bands are terribly close to the player, so objects only 20 feet away use pretty ugly textures and models, suddenly jumping into sometimes totally different shapes and looks when you get a bit closer. By the way, I've been wondering, what are actually the new things DX10 brings to games?
when games look more lifelike than real life its self people are gonna want to merge with the net lol ghost in the shelll !!
Think will be a similar situations as to when Far Cry was released; nobody will manage to play it max settings at a high res until 6-12 months after due to technology restrictions.
You my freind have deff not watched ANY of the real gameplay video's, have you? Maybe watch them and come back to us.
