Help with Crysis setting

[Angelgome]

I want to get the "prettiest picture" while playing crysis.

My specs:
E8400 @ 3.8 GHZ
4GB Corsair Dominator
4870 x2 at 890 core and 990 memory

Use Vista with DX10 and turn everything to Ultra
It does depend on the resolution you intend to use.

If you want practically the same gfx quality in XP (as Vista DX10) or want to tweak more, try Cubans Crysis Config : CCC V1.31

It has some ready made configs to get you the best from the game.

If you want a mix between performance and quality you can always use the "detect settings" option. If it still runs great you can raise some settings. It doesn't really help to ask people what settings you should use because every computer is different and may run differently.

Is that a joke, just crank it up the max.

These posts make no sense, if you plan on buying it, then clearly you are goinng to find out for yourself what looks the "prettiest".

You can turn up textures and water settings for a better picture quality, but turn down postprocessing to low or medium, shadows to low, shaders to medium and sound to low or medium, and pick up some FPS back and not really notice a loss in quality.

At 1920*1200 and using the Gamer settings, Crysis Warhead runs 10-20% faster on XP.
See sig for specs.

Shaders provide the most improvement in picture quality, not sure why you'd turn those down.
