so my new 3870x2 runs crysis 64bit like a dream. one minor problem though, the lower quality cutscene movies (like the opening EA logo, etc) play with blurriness and artifacts. if I switch to 32bit mode, the issue is gone. i just can't figure it out, especially since the actual game and in-game cutscenes(which are higher quality) play so nicely. i have 64bit vista with all recent updates, newest catalyst drivers and crysis 1.2 patch. anyone have any ideas? thanks for your help.

That has nothing to do with your videocard, the cutscene and movies are .sfd (Softdec encoded) video files. It's likely a bug with the videocodec that plays the movies with 64-bit Vista. The game and in-game cutscenes are all rendered on your videocard. The logo/intro, etc. videos are prerendered and compressed sfd video files.

advice? i had an 8800gts in there and it ran fine. same 64bit vista with all current updates.
I would just delete all those videos from the folder anyway. They are inconsequential, annoying (Nvidia ads at the beginning of the game), and just slow you from getting into the actual game. Delete them and it skips right to the main menu so you can start playing.

there are a couple of those videos in the game, not many but there are some that are part of the story line. i would like to see those.

Really? I played through and there are no pre-rendered videos through the storyline. All of the ones in the game are rendered by the in-game engine.
