quad core extreme desktops with 3 way SLI 8800 ultras can't pull that off, and neither can you.



*EDIT* if you were talking about far cry before the name of the thread had changed, I am sorry because You can do that in far cry.


OOPS!

Depends on who you ask, some believe that you should run your computer at non native resolution. Then the 8700SLI is better.

At native res (there really should not be any other resolution on an LCD monitor as it looks like crap.) The 7900/7950 kills the 8700 SLI (per Fenuxx)

Runs fine for me. Around 25-35 fps at 1920x1200, medium settings (high post) DX9 Vista

Tried XP32 and 64 and Vista 32 runs it the best. I also used the color degrading tweak too for some veryhigh flare.

FYI - There is a Vista Hotfix for multiple-gpu setups.

It does not install through Windows Update, you have to go to the Microsoft Support Site, download and install manually.

Take a look and see if you have this installed:

Look at the other hotfixes as well to see if any apply to your setup.

i checked and do have that hotfix thanks! it installed on 2-16-08. btw, how do you force the game to run in dx9 mode? i read about adding an extension to the end of the games shortcut or something.

SWEET! lol i was wondering where that shortcut was! i ended up going into the program folder looking for the exe and putting a shortcut from there! i'll have to try that later and see if i get better results. time for work unfortunately!

well, i tried running it on dx9 and got some kind of weird artifact like things. i could see some of the textures, but the rest almost looked clear if that makes any sense. i disabled sli, and reran under dx9 same thing. when i switch back to dx10 it works fine. any ideas?

Tweak the game to get the most out of it. Look at my youtube video, search for Crysis XPS M1730. I tweaked the game and also overclocked my 8700m GT´s and the game ran pretty good at 1680x1050. Though I don´t have the tweakfile anymore since I sent my XPS back and ordered a new one with 8800m GTX instead

well crysis has gone the way of the dodo! i have uninstalled it and wont put it back until there is either better support, or i play it on my 360! i cant stand having a 5000 plus computer that cant even play the game well at 1280x800 or whatever with med settings. i know the game is steep, but i thought i could at least play it decently! i guess most computers cant though. and although i want the sli 8800's i dont have the bank to do it right now. oh well. i picked up fear platinum and although i've played the first two, i wanted to play perseus mandate. i SHOULD be able to play this ok i hope! lol
