Hey guys,

I'm looking to upgrade / buy a new machine... As always i'm looking for the best bang for buck performance I can get!

Just wondering what performance people are getting with what hardware.

Cheers.

[Zirb]

I don't remember everything I have so far (anybody have the link to that hardware diagnosis report thing?), but my gpu is a gtx 580 and my cpu is a 2500k

With everything maxed out at 130 FOV I get a stable 40-50 FPS.

On my normal settings of World Geo and AA maxed out with everything else turned down as much as possible at 130 FOV, I get a mostly stable 110 FPS with dipping down to the 70 FPS range every now and then.

Laptop:
intel i5-430M
Nvidia 310M 512MB
4GB RAM
1360x768 screen

Works well on very low settings, still looks great and has a pretty decent frame rate (60fps).

Desktop:
AMD 6000 X2
6 GB RAM
Nvidia 9800 GTX+ 512MB

Works well on low settings, could be pushed higher with more optimisation I think.


I don't think you need to get an amazingly powerful computer, you're playing a game that was designed for fairly old consoles. I highly recommend getting a mid-range laptop with dedicated graphics (that way you can use it for more than just gaming ;-) plus its portable) or a fairly cheap desktop. Then when *4th generation* consoles come out, do an upgrade. That's my plan atleast After seeing RAGE and Nexuiz run well on my desktop, I have no immediate need to upgrade!

I have no idea. I've been waiting 40mins to play a damn game.

I have i7 3.4ghz
16gb Ram
Gfx 680

[clubbydubby]

I was getting 60fps. Just got in a 3v1 lobby.. Game crashed shortly after

[crapaccino]

AMD Phenom II X4 840 3,2GHz
Kingston HyperX 4GB 1600mhz
GeForce GTX 460 SE
1920x1080 low/med and still runs like sh*t

Crysis 2 runs really good on high settings.

[Dem0072]

Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz, 4GB DDR2 Ram, GeForce G102m, Id say the few minutes I did get to play was around 10FPS on medium, maybe upper teens on low.

I would cite a few things to keep in mind...
a) It's a beta
It's Crytek 3, every Crytek engine ever built was an absolute pig for resources. I'm grateful I could even launch the game... lol
c) The game hasn't yet been fully optimized for the latest video card drivers to my knowledge.

In time, it will improve.

E6600 2.4
3gb ram
9800GTX
7 x86

Runs like utter shit @ medium, didn't get to try low. Don't expect any better. Hopefully it can be optimized a tad for med/lower end systems.

Intel Core i3 2120 @ 3.3GHz
4GB Dual Channel DDR3 RAM @ 1333MHz
Sapphire HD Radeon 6670 2GB GDDR3
Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 500gb

Runs acceptably on all graphics settings at 720p (1280x720), which is all I need.

Medium settings run about 50fps
High Settings around 40fps
Max Settings between 25-35fps
Low Settings: Constant 60fps (with VSync)

Lags hard on all settings ...yet i can run crysis 2 on max settings with high res texture pack i mean..

[Muromets]

Tell us your price range.
I got my rig for $890 with the following:
CPU: Intel I7-2600 @ 3.8Ghz
Motherboard: ASRock Z68M
GPU: MSI Nvidia GTX 560 (oc)
RAM: 8GB DDR3
HDD: 1TB WD Caviar Blue 7200 RPM
200GB WD Caviar Black 7200 RPM
PSU: 750W

[RaGeQuaKe]

Specs are in my signiture, but it runs like SHIT My rig is pretty decent and should be able to DESTROY this game, because Crysis 2 runs at 60-100 on the second highest GFX settings, but I only can get 40-50 maxed out on Nexuiz. That makes no sense at all. I'm sure they will fix this!

[J-Rod]

I have a sneaking suspicion that it's still running on 'xbox settings'. I know there's more to it then that but it's an exaggerated guess to why it runs like shit.

PC Specs:

- Processor:

AMD Phenom II X4 960T Processor 3.0GHz (4 Cores) Black Edition 3.0GHz box (Standard Frequency)

- RAM:

Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 Dual Channel

- Video Card:

Sapphire Radeon HD6870 OC Edition 1GB GDDR5 256-bit PCI Express X16 2.1

- Operating System:

Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 x64

- Motherboard:

ASRock M3N78D - Chipset Model: nForce 720D

Playing on 1080p on ULTRA, getting around 19-24 fps. Using Catalyst version 12.3.

1080 on HIGH -> 19-29

1080 on MEDIUM -> 29-34

720 on MEDIUM -> 39-55

PS: Could the fps in the main menu be limited? Cause without Vsync ON, the frames go up to like over 1000, thus forcing my graphic card to be on 99% load and heating itself. Only fix I got with this is turning Vsync ON in the menu, then turn it back OFF when in-game.

Update: also I got a huge performance increase when setting World Geometry to Low. Could play the game at 50 Fps everything else maxed out on 720p. (This only occurred when playing online not in a empty private match).

Funny enough I just picked up an EVGA Nvidia GTX 550 Ti to play this game but I still run it on 1440x900 with general Medium/Low settings in order to get high FPS. I prefer to have highest possible FPS so I have 0 mouse delay and this way I'll be much quicker at killing.

NICE!

That card is a good "bang for buck" deal. How's it running?

Most of our test machines here have i7's, with ati HD 5 series cards and we get good performance with low to med spec, but we do have a few killer machines with hardcore parts and the Ultra setting get owned

Soo, if we want to play with everything on Ultra we'll need i7's and newest generation of video cards?
