Anyway ... as medium doesn't make a difference in the fps and low is unbearable after seeing it at high so I'm going stick with my settings and hope that Nvidia bring out some real drivers for this game.
Oh and SLi ... on or off makes no difference it seems.

3840x1024 will be alwasy to high for one 8800gtx.

Good for you to have TWO G80s paddy!

In the ... sys_spec_PostProcessing.cfg I changed all the entries for these two items to read ...
r_sunshafts=1
r_MotionBlur=0

In the ... sys_spec_Shading.cfg ... I added this line to the [3] section.
r_UsePom=1

My game crashed instantly doing that. :(

hmmmm ... very odd ... perhaps it is an 8800 thing ... but I wouldn't have thought so.
Try them one at a time to see which one is causing the problem ?

Just looking at your sig showing SLI, and I thought of something (related to Crysis still). Wouldn't it be nice if there was some kind of SLI setting where you could have one card (8900/9800 when I upgrade) rendering the visuals, and having the previous card (my 8800GTX) for doing physics.

I wish this could happen.

That sig is out of date, a couple of days ago I updated my rig. So this is the kick in the butt I needed to install Photoshop.

There is something like that, its called Ageia PhysX, and its not very widely supported unfortunately.

Yeah I know about the Aegia, but I wasn't too convinced by it. I feel an SLI card for just physics would be awesome. It would be nice to hang on to the previous card when you get a new one.

Sure ... it would be cool ... 8)
I'll let you know how I get on with that PhysX card and the ultra all the same ... you never know ... :lol: ...

Anyway ... new Nvidia beta drivers out ... just now ...
http://www.nvidia.com/Download/index.aspx?lang=en-us

ForceWare Release 169 BETA
Version: 169.04

Recommended driver for Crysis single player game demo and TimeShift.


Lets hope they help !


@ MobsterOO7 ...
Can you not see my posts ?

I left a message for you ... regarding the tweaks and your system crashing ... you haven't replied ...
I think JosephJEHancock was referring to my sig and I already posted about the PhysiX card and how I was going to try it right before your post but your post is as if I hadn't posted.
Looking into it a bit further I don't think Crysis can use it though.

Yeah I was, and NICE ONE for the new driver link! :D

Edited - user error on my part. Drivers work fine.

That would be cool !

I have just bought a EVGA 8800 Ultra (Superclocked Mem 2250MHz, GPU 655MHz) to try with the Physx card ... should be with me in a couple of days.
It is really for a new system I should be getting soon but I fancied a play and wondered if it would be better that what I have now as the SLi isn't working .... :lol:
The new system will of course have another Ultra in it ... :D

Holy shit, mate, that's insane. 8) Cool, but insane. :D
