Crysis 1.1 patch is OUT with Multi GPU updates!

Dan_D said:
For me (before the patch) the snow levels were smoother than the rest of the game. I chalked that up to less detailed texturing due to the snow.

Of course, you have TRIPLE SLI 8800GTX's:p

On my single 8800GT.....the ice levels, well, they suck like a Taiwanese hooker on a 2 for 1 Friday night special.

And I really mean that, both from a performance standpoint and even more so, a gameplay standpoint.

The carrier mission can be included in that group as well.:rolleyes:
 
since I don't have SLI and it seems the gameplay when the ice hit is still the same, I'm not gonna even bother revisiting this game yet. I beat it already.

I'm waiting on the "gameplay now consistent for whole game" kind of report. That or I finda cheap intel based sli board and a cheap 8800gtx (or if nvidia magically makes the 9800gtx work on older non sli boards...)

I was running only dual SLI back when I played those levels and SLI was broken and still seems to be to a degree in Crysis. So for all intensive purposes I might as well have been running a single 8800Ultra with a high overclock at best. I rather liked the snow levels but I hated the carrier stuff. Definitely sub-par for the rest of the game.
 
Just out of curiosity, did anyone else have any problems installing this patch? I kept getting an error that the installer was having an issue finding or access a missing .cab file on the DVD. There is neither a problem with my DVD drive or the DVD itself.

Encountered this twice on both systems that I have Crysis installed on. I literally had to reinstall the game in order to get the patch to update correctly. I suspect it's looking for a temp file(s) of some type.

Not a big issue since I didn't loose any games or settings, just a big pain in the ass.

Did you delete or rename the intro movie files? That'll do it.

LOL at what resolution 800x600? Most people running high res are lucky to get 10 - 15 FPS at all let alone another 10-15 haha. I really don't believe you. I gained .051 FPS. Wow. Still sux.
Click to expand...

Actually, my sig says dell 2407 24" - that runs at 1920x1200...
 
btw, why would i buy a 24" widescreen LCD and dual 8800GTs to run games at 800x600?

i can't speak for single 8800gt users, but SLI sees great improvements..

You need to settle down. I'm using some medium settings with Shaders and Post on High and using high quality motion blur, sun shafts and parallax occlusion mapping ("DX10 Very High" settings) and so far, 4-5 levels in I'm getting 40-60 fps at 1024x768 and only around 25-30 when I have 5-10 people shooting at me, shit blowing up all over, etc. I think if you NEED 1920x1080 with Very High settings under Vista then you just have crazy expectations.

At those settings and with that performance is still looks amazing on a 19 inch CRT and when a helicoper's breaking down trees and branches while chasing me through a dense forest it still looks much better than any other game and I don't have time to focus on jaggies. I love graphics more than most people (they've been my hobby since I was little!) but when I actually sit down and play the game, it's just a really great experience and it looks amazing with "just" those settings. I can play the same area 5-10 times and get completely different reactions from the AI everytime.
 
As Brent stated, use the UT3 driver 169.28's.
According to ChrisRay, last minute changes were made to the patch.
Post # 64

Crysis patch is available. However there were a few last minute changes made. And I'm scrambling to get a working profile. Nvidia commented that it should be available today ((driver)). But if I can get a working profile before then. I'll post it here too.

To make things simpler. The UT3 driver also contains the profile fix. However a future driver may have other things enabled. Not every current driver works with the profiles I gave before. So try to have an up to date driver. This one does work in my experiences so far.

Dont have time to do any full collective benchmarks yet.

I just checked the beta driver section and it's undergoing maintenance. So it's possible new beta driver are soon to be posted.

I don't get that? How does getting 2 hookers for the price of 1 suck? That would actually be fricking awesome.

This is on the 1.1 patch, at 1920x1200, everything set to high, no AA, 16AF.

Running on a Q6600 at 3.6, p35c-ds3r mb, 2gb ballistix at 900Mhz 4-4-4-15 and an 8800gts 512mb at 756/1836/1950
 
I didnt notice any slowdown in the icy levels either. I have a ATI 3870. A friend of mine with a 8800GTS320 did experience a rather big peformance loss in the icy levels. I have no proof to back this up but I thought that it might have something to do with the amount onboard video RAM. He even has a faster processor than I do so ???

I did notice a little performance loss on the carrier level though.:(

Time to go get the patch.

I'm replaying Crysis when I'm not playing COD4. (I'm up to General now) so when I get to the icy levels I'll swap my save game over to my other box running an E6600 and a 8800GTS 320MB and see what the performance is like.

Can anyone confirm that AA bug is fixed if so there ya go.
Click to expand...

The AA bug seems to be fixed, though AA is significantly nerfed to the point of it being useless against VTOLs or helicopters. Try it out yourself with friends, one of you get in AA and the other in a VTOL, you will hardly do any damage, if any at all.

EDIT: though the AA bug was only on servers with Friendly Fire on, and the servers I play on usually have it off anyway. This new bug however is killing it for me
 
I've noticed significantly better performance with the patch after I replayed the last stage. "Better performance" does not equate to better fps, even though I may have gotten better fps. I didn't do any fps recording, but I really felt that I didn't need to.

Before, there would be a couple insane lag spikes during the cutscenes which messed up the voice sync a few times, but that doesnt happen anymore. I've also noticed a few subtle changes. A lot of things seem softer than I remember, but jaggies also stand out more. There's also more usage of blur effects, especially noticeable with depth of field.

Specs in sig, settings at 1280x720 everything Very High. No AA/AF.
 
Didn't notice any changes with the benchmark, but did notice a considerable increase in fps in SP, enough so, that I was able to bump up the res to 1600x1200

totally playable with all settings to very high (except shaders are on high)
2xAA @1280x1024 or
1600x1200 no AA

where as before very high settings was only playable at 1024x786

Same here. I was able to bump up the resolution from 1680x1050 to 1920x1200.
 
nV just "officially" released the 169.28 beta with the following comments

Adds increased SLI and 3-way SLI performance in Crysis when used with the official Crysis Patch v1.1

The EVGA site has had the 169.28 drivers on there for a while now. Are these beta NVIDIA drivers the same thing since they have the same number? Why would EVGA have them way earlier than NVIDIA even putting them into beta?

nVidia had them a while ago but only posted them as a driver to fix UT3 issues.

You know what's retarded? Not reading the first page of this thread. Specifically the first sentence of the 12th post on this thread. :D

But hey, I'm lazy sometimes too. ;)

LOL so the solution is hidden in the 12th post and hes "retarded" for missing it?

I would have missed it to because i simply would have skipped past your "retarded" canned benchmark results looking for some real results anyway.

WOW, I guess you didn't see the little smilies. Damn, who pissed in your Barney cup? :) :) :) :) :)

I managed to find the solution simply by hitting Google with the error I was getting. People blaming the software when they're running a non-standard configuration is like blaming Intel when you CPU dies because you're running it at 8 Ghz and +1.0v.

Tell me, how do you know hes running a non standard config? Are you a psychic?

Yes I am and my instincts are never wrong. Bow before me lest I burn the mark of Intel in your forehead with my OC'd processor!
 
Does anyone know if [H] is still planning on taking another look at crysis now that we have some newer drivers and the patch is released?
