well on qx6700 with 8800GTX on vista 64 ultimate (detail on max) work fine but SLI is recomended.

Cool, are you SLI? and what res?

I'm in winxp64 at the moment - I assume the framerate would be faster in vista under dx10?

You're lucky val, that screenshot looks great

On my rig it's only playable in XP32 at 1024x768 so it's not very sexy, but here's a bunch of screenshots i took. Click on the thumbs below to view the fullres versions.





And one large panorama i made, click on the thumb below to see it

...small update...
I'm a bit dissapointed with hardware resources
1024x768 - high details + 4x - cca 30 fps
1280x1024 - very high + 16x - drop to 15 (20) fps
1920x1200 - very high + 16x - only 1 fps

all with qx6700 + 8800gtx(only one ) with Vista 64 + direct10

Mm yes you're right, it does require a monster machine which you can barely buy today to run well. But they said the game would last a few years and expand with future hardware. Meaning that it gets better the better hardware you got.

One more panorama i shot last night from the rocky valley in Crysis, this is also DX9 in XP32, but it's still pretty. click on the thumb to view the fullres version.

realtime shadows even with DX9!

I love the foliage - it's very realistic crashing through the underbrush watching branches bend out of your way. But I think I'll leave this alone for a while and keep playing bf2142 - it is too much fun.

the sandbox is here:
Crytek\Crysis SP Demo\Sandbox2 Installer

GUYS!!! STOP POSTING GAMES!!


I need to study every night for next 7-9 months for my architectural registration exams.... This is too tempting, I'm actually downloading it, but I now I shouldn't install it

A half hour of gaming every few hours will actually increase your productivity - you can't study for every waking hour or you will go completely insane....

crysis rulez! even on my old x2-3800 with a nv7900gs i can play it smooth on medium-1024. i will definitly buy this game...but more for the sandbox2 editor then the actual game.
i played around with the editor the last days and like it alot.

i have a small question slightly related to sandbox2:
do you know a place on the interwebs where i can find highresolution highdata from europe...or even better southern germany (berchtesgaden)? the only thing i found was srtm90 data but thats not so super cool in sandbox.

to get the needed .raw file for terrain-creation i used "3dem". its a tool that does the job but lacks the possibility to select a specific area e.g. like 4096x4096 meters. is there a better tool for that purpose?

[Maximus3D]

Leo.. it sounds like you got trouble concentrating on your homework. Some gaming will solve that problem!

Install it now and blast some aliens to tiny pieces..

LOL!!! "half hour of gaming every few hours " will make me think about the game while I'm studing not allowing to concentrate

8am to 5pm "work"
6pm to 11pm "study"

the rest is for sleep and eat
