    well if ya have it dwnlded, i cant see the harm in installin them. im sure it tidies up a few thing other things in xp. jus doesnt give u a boost in fps

    Yeah I know I just got my hopes up when I seen the 10fps increase. I thought I might be able to get crysis running on high.

    Nvidia has just updated its vista drivers again

    its given me another 10fps in Crysis :)

    With these drivers, DX10 with the 64bit executable will now run properly. The frame rate is still sluggish though.

    so then it wasnt that crytek did a crappy job with optimising like a few ppl have argued, it was nvidia!...crysis = 1337

    Not much improvement with those drivers for me, so if I turn the settings up high but force DX9 mode it will be pretty?
    Still a bit sluggish on medium for me with AA off. :/

    Game looks pretty amazing but coming from someone who isnt just about teh shinyness I still found teh game pretty fun.


    But trust me you wont if ya dont make proper use of teh suits cloak feature, makes it so much more fun, and you can run up and grab people by teh neck, increase your strengh and throw them off a cliff so yeah wtf more ya want?!

    that and grenadiin little villages to teh grounds pretty fun.




    Cool new features BESIDES graphics

    Nice and easy customizable weapons

    Kick ass super suit that can increase your agility, defense or strengh aswell as cloak you for short periods of time

    Very destructable environments, sheds, trees, barriers



    and eh basically thats it, other than that its a shiny Farcry and pretty generic FPS

    I finally got to play this on Dx10 last night and it looks amazing. It really is just a prettier version of Far Cry, but I loved Far Cry and I love this.

    And the editor is fantastic too. The TAC explosions are incredible looking.

    Any point downloading the demo to play on this machine? :

    AMD 64 X2 4400+
    GeForce 7900GT 256MB
    2GB Ram

    Don't want to bother if I get a sub-average gaming experience!

    Yeah you will be fine you might have to turn down a couple of options to medium but it will still look great.

    wont be using this, ridiculous that it requires a mega pc to play. A very standard fps imo, looks ok, nothing amazing.

    Consoles are catching up imo

    I think its the other way around that the PC has surpassed them once again.

    i think this generation the consoles were already behind PC's when they got released. when the 360 came out everyone was buying dualcores and gearing up for dx10 already!

    Consoles can't catch up, their hardware is frozen in time from a particular point of development, PC hardware is always being renewed and updated.
    Doesn't mean consoles won't do the job but PCs will always be newer, or if they're not, wait a week! :p

    (I actually want a Wii)

    Tried this out yesterday on my new 8800GT. Really amazing - playable with everything set to Very High, although not super smooth. I'll post better impressions and maybe pics later :)

    I got mine from Komplett a couple of days ago - they had a few in, they disappeared very quickly. I was lucky, just seemed like I was on the site at the right time.

    I think they've brought forward their expected date for more by a week though.

    Heres my results with an 8800gts and the 8800gt is a bit better so should give you a good indication of performance:

    The 8800gt is a great card, amazing value

    1680*1050 Medium seems to be the sweet spot, it still looks great and runs a lot better than high

    What did you use to benchmark conzy? I might do some on the 8800GT later.

    I remember trying 1680x1050 at all High, and it seemed fine to me, but I didn't have any solid fps numbers.

    I just used fraps, and benched 240 seconds from the first auto save point (beach landing)

    Just set fraps to auto stop after 240 seconds and set it to give you a min max and average fps

    Great demo I had massive expectations for this game and if the demo is anything to go by Crytek have done themselves proud.

    For those looking to squeeze some more out of the meager demo people have already started modding the level over at http://www.crymod.com go into the forums and people have uploaded remixes of the demo map some adding new weapons and vehicles previously unavailable in the demo itself. One guy has 2 helicopters patrolling the beaches so they're a lot of fun.
