    GPU Benchmarking - Crysis 1280x1024 (All High)

    Anyone tried Benchmark_CPU2.bat included in the 1.1 patch? It drops down to 3fps and my system [8800GT+A64-2.8GHz] Strange thing is the massive fps drops comes when not much is happening physics wise, - anyone else noticed this???

    Official 3dmark06 scores here (please read first post before posting)

    yup, the GTs texture fillrate should be about 35GT/s, it's still not fixed in 0.1.1 :( The GT is actually much faster than an Ultra when it comes to multi-texturing speed, G80 does 4 texture addresses / clock G92 does 8.

    8800gt out of stock across the whole uk?

    I think someone cocked-up at microdirect last week, they seem to have the price for the BFG and XpertVision cards the wrong way round, I got my BFG for £137+VAT, I think it was the last card in the country at the time. :) If you can hold out for the ATI HD3870 it is looking faster than...

    Crysis VGA mem usage question

    Ii seems to work ok on my system, I set the "budgets" in the system.cfg file to match my spec sys_budget_videomem = 512 sys_budget_sysmem = 2048 does anyone know if this has any effect on th engine or is it just for debugging? These commands also look usefull: r_displayinfo 1...

    Issues with 8800 GT and 64-bit

    The 64bit version does not stream textures in, they are loaded at full detail. It's a fact, ask anyone who has a clue. I agree it is probably an artificial limitation, the FarCry 64bit enhancement pack was hacked to work in 32bit but they did slow it down quite a bit. It's funny how many...

    Issues with 8800 GT and 64-bit

    Crysis on XP 64bit Edition - Very High [DX9 hack] 32bit: ________________ 64bit: Take a look at the mountains, the textures are much higher detail at further distances, It seems to load faster to. Max fps is exactly the same as 32bit XP but my minimum fps in game is about 5fps...

    Official 3dmark06 scores here (please read first post before posting)

    My old 8800GTS 320 @ 650 / 1500 / 950 -ish : My shiney new 8800GT @ 762 / 1863 / 979 : My poor old Toledo can only get to 2.8GHz which is really holding it back, the SM2 score seems to be pegged to CPU clock. Roll on PhenomX4.... :D

    Hilarious problem with my 8800GT

    I think a lot of the early problems with XP64 were crap drivers. I just installed XP64 SP2 to test Crysis, I get exactly the same max fps but much better min fps, it also loads faster and you get greater draw distance [mountains look better etc], its a good 10fps faster than Vista64, the best...

    Got myself a BFG 8800 GT OC!

    I just got that card to, my max core / shaders it exactly the same as yours but I can't get the memory above 950? :confused: It will pass a 3DM06 run up to about 1026 but Crysis and ATITool crash after about 3 minutes even with insane cooling... :( I might try loosening some timings in the...
