AMD vs Nvidia with Crysis 2 direct x 11 patch

[happymedium]

Any good reviews out there for Crysis 2 with the new high res/tessalation patch?

This is the only one I could find with a gtx580. AMD cards are being reviewed tomorrow, at the same site

Strange dip at 1920x1200 extreme quality. That's a 30% hit vs 20% at the other two tested resolutions.

Ultra quality only takes a 3-5% hit.

I smell a beta driver update coming soon with "up to 10% performance improvement in Crysis 2 DX11".

amd is a lot slower than nvida....sucks

i can't even tell the difference in image quality :/

The video is so beautiful, I haven't bought the game. Waiting until it's 30 bucks or lower

I sort of agree with you, but I think that's more a testament to how good the base game looks. Also, most of the new DX11 effects aren't really on display in the screenshots on the site. Take a look at this instead.

people still playing crysis 2? I am curious how my 570 will do.

 

[artvscommerce]

They look different but it doesn't seem very significant..

 

[pandora's box]

the difference is pretty impressive imo. youtube/pictures only do so much to show it off.

if you've got the system to run it you should check it out. my 570's in sli get about 60fps avg at 1920x1080

I have been holding back from beating the game, it looks pretty good with dx11 and high res texture pack.

Finally, "will it run crysis 2" will be a good question...

 

[Battleneter2]

Crysis 1 is clearly still the superior game engine, so no I will be still "does it run crysis"


As for DX11, don't know why they bothered, total "meh"

I checked back a few times and am I just missing where the AMD results are? There doesn't seem to be a separate post with it and the original link still only has Nvidia results.

I still don't see any AMD vs nvidia benches with the patch applied. Where is it?

I guess they decided not to do it? It said check back iomorrow..

 

[ban916]

amd is a lot slower than nvidia. got screwed.

Maybe a performance problem with the AMD driver? I could see holding off for a few days if a new hotfix or beta driver is promised. There would be no point to running bad benchmarks if a fix is available shortly... if that turns out to be the problem.

I doubt they would fail to publish just because AMD turned out to be slower.

I found something better.

I guess everyone missed Nvidia's TWIMTBP advert when the Crysis 2 starts. Clearly, it has optimizations for Nvidia cards.

I just beat Crysis 2 on SLI 470's last night and it ran beautifully with all settings maxed. It never slowed throughout the duration of the game. My other system with a single 570 and q9550 at 4.2 does great with it too.

That is damn near useless. There are too many variables with all the different CPUs and motherboard configurations.

Or maybe some architectures are just better suited to certain techniques. Astonishing stuff, I know.
