Crysis 3 Open Beta starting Jan 29th

Downloaded and played 1.5 games of Crash Site this morning before work (Xbox360), both were on Airport.

The first match locked up about halfway through, during a host migration.

Second match played pretty well. The game does play a lot like Crysis 2, which I seem to remember enjoying at the time... but it looks like I only played it for 2.5 months after I got it so maybe I didn't like it as much as I recall.

I'd like to give Hunter mode a try, it sounds a bit more interesting than Crash Site.

Played an hour on X360. Some cases of lag in certain matches but overall I enjoyed it. Crash Site mode does seem to suffer from frame drops since it has loads of stuff happening but Hunter has ran very smooth. I have some videos uploading now for anyone who wants to see the visuals. I played the previous games a lot but avoided the multiplayer in Crysis 2 so can't really compare it.

The AA on the 360 is also really good, not entirely sure what they're using.

SMAA.

What? the IQ on the 360 is mediocre even by console standards and the PPAA they are using is really poor...in fact excluding the ghosting that were present in Crysis 2 the overall IQ looked like a downgrade to me in the Crysis 3 beta.

Over 2GB.

----

For anyone on 1080p, the game is perfectly playable @ 60FPS w/ 4xMSAA on a 2GB 680. VRAM usage varied between 1.6GB~1.9GB.

That was with motion blur and lens flare off, everything else on maximum/very high.

Edit: Is anyone else seeing the shimmering in certain parts of the Airport map? It looks like when you force AO in certain games.

Damn, now I kind of regret getting a second 680 for SLI (as my first one was the 2gb model).

Granted, not every game is going to push close to 2gb or over 2gb this next gen. But it makes me sad that the 2gb memory on my 680 set up won't be enough to max out things fully on some games.

Should have just waited for that 6gb titan or whatever and SLI that. lool.

Thank you. I'm curious about where the settings need to be to keep the vram usage under 1.5GB @ 1080p. Would minimal AA @ 1080p get you there?
 
1440 x 900, everything Medium, Blur Medium, Lens Flare ON, SMAA 1x

Playable on Museum, not paying that much attention to FPS but 30+ for sure (I did 11:7, my record for the beta, with the Sniper class, so it had to be decent enough).

This is on a laptop, GT 650M GDDR5 OC'd and an i7 3610QM @ 2.8GHz.

I must say I'm pretty happy with it :D Looks awesome too.

Of course, dropping to 720p and some mix of low and medium (plus SMAA 1x) gets the framerate up to ~50.
 
OK, everything runs fine on my laptop so I'm happy. Didn't mess around too much. Medium @ 1080p lens flare on, high details. No issues. Will mess around a bit more later. Really don't care about the MP mode too much but as long as SP works that's good

Most certainly; you're looking at about 1.4GB @1080p i think.

Of course, there is always the SMMA/TXAA options to use.

Excellent. My 660 TI 2GB goes to shit when vram usage hits 1.5, since the already limited bandwidth drops substantially at that point. As in 50% fps loss all of a sudden.

I can definitely get by on Vaseline AA @ 1080p if I must.

What the fuck? I remember Crysis 2 was super optimized. What happened to this game?

And I can't believe it requires more than 2GB of VRAM at max detail. No wonder Crytek wanted 8GB on next-gen consoles. :P

I have similar fps (30 almost the time - 60 when i look at the floor/sky) in Crysys 2
1080p Ultra, DirectX 11 and hd textures.

I think it's all the DX11 stuff, if you tone down the settings it runs pretty well and still looks quite good.

Well, he's keeping his CPU on stock, and its craving to be overclocked. I got almost identical rig as him and i have 15fps more on museum map, and my minimum is +5 fps of his "standing and looking" number

vsync on? overclocked? i need a doog guide to overclock my card :( what do you use to show the fps?
Click to expand...

Vsync off, same fps with on, tested.
FXAA On
Proc oc'ed to 4.3 stock voltage
GPU OC'ed to 1050/1450 catalyst 12.11 beta 3 i think

AF x16, your screenshot is x8 and everything else on Very High, including motion blur, i think you put it to medium.

Im using MSI Afterburner for stats (upper left corner) and Sapphire Trixx for OCing. My GPU is MSI.
 
im set to max settings 1080p except low aa and im getting wat feels like 40-60. stock i5 , oc7950, 1100 -1400 mem. game looks fuckin pretty nice, kinda like a next level Gears im havin fun with it.
(sometimes in the swamp im prob down to 30 in some areas, and texture res on high, 16x filtering)
 
Maxed out everything. I said practically the same thing. Game does not look as incredible as they told it will. Hopefully SP part of the game looks better.

This MP is so static, maps are lifeless, I dont know but I had better feeling with C2, and I was playing it for quite some time back in the days.

of course single player will look better i wouldnt worry. i dont know what you were expecting this is def. one of the best looking multis ive played ( lag aside). feels like p2p anybody kno if this is on dedis or will have in final?
 
It's on dedicated servers, I haven't had lag in any of matches I played, I was playing 10 of them.

Crysis 2 seemed better for me, at least MP part of the game
 
Can anyone tell me how the hell you download this on PC? I've already got Origin but can't see it anywhere on my games list.
 
Anyone have any advice for settings with a 1GB graphics card. Well, I have crossfire 5850s.. want to max it out without hitting that vram limit obviously. I'm getting 40-50fps at Crash Site with 1080p, High preset, textures medium, FXAA. Turn down Aniso to 8x maybe? Anything else that might help?
 
Airport looks amazing and in motion is godly. Moving through vegetation with motion blur medium in high speed is amazing.

MP was never a looker. If you compare the pier and skyline map to their sp level equivs they lose a lot in size and in some aspects of the details or how the level is actually done.

Later on I will test about 60 console commands for performance and let people know what still works.
