Im running crysis 2 at 1920x1080 at highest settings and it sticks to about 60fps with v-sync on (strays to around 58 when off). 

 

Though seriously dude if your are running it on 3 screens...how loud if your fan O_O

Its not that bad but definetly audable..computer is about 10 feet away so its alright.

4 case fans dual videocard fans do make a nice hum. :)

LOL! mind giving me your house location your keys and half an hour to wipe the place clean of your tech intro a conveniantly placed van outside? pweaty pwease :3



Yeah i know my spelling sucks but im dysgraphic so live with it :3

I believe them...seem like the engine has a very light shell which you could put all kinds of levels of detail, textures, polygon counts. Unreal 3 engine could also be ported to 3DS, but it wouldn't look as good.


My thoughts exactly and it's not like Unreal Engine 3 makes many pretty games to begin with.  The list of good looking Unreal Engine 3 games could be done on one hand but versus the number of games that actually use it, the fact that so few look really good is rather staggering.

haha, yeah...err no :)

Besides, I will be changing my monitor setup soon so when you come to swipe my stuff it may be all gone. I want 3 IPS displays instead, in portrait mode. Waiting for Dell to have a sale and will prolly list these monitors for sale soon...

My current setup is alright but its too wide...Here is what it looks like

Id rather have height perception than width.

One question...does the black borders of the monitor ever distract you while playing since it doesn't exactly look in sync in the image.

Not going to lie, it does distract a little bit. But its still rox if you know what I mean :)

Im looking to test 3 monitors in portrait mode shortly and if that works out (game compatibility is good, visually pleasing...etc) I will most likely look to set up 3 projectors in portrait mode shooting on a single massive 16:9 screen. 

That should get rid of borders for good :)

Its because the Cryengine 3 behind it is truly a masterful piece of work.

The game runs maxed out with very minimal hardware requirements. On the PC it pretty much doubled the frame rate over Crysis 1 on same hardware while looking the same (or better). 

I can max out the game and it runs at over 40 frames per second at all times with a single GTX470. IT runs butter smooth on 3 monitors and with 2 overclocked GTX470s in SLI at 5760x1080 resolution. For comparison sake, I cant even max out Need for Speed Shift 1 on 3 monitors at that resolution and have to disable AA or lower resolution or detail level to make it playable.

So even if this is the best looking console game, it really isnt because they are finding some newly found processing power in the 360 or because they are optimizing PS3s untapped potential or some other BS. It is because the guys at Crytek made a killer engine that produces amazing results with minimal hardware requirements on all platforms.

All the arguing over this should stop as its meaningless and doesnt prove one console is more powerful than the other. They could probably port this game to the Wii and it wouldnt look half bad...

This exactly reminds me  of how superior the Unreal Tournament 2004 was over its predecessor in terms of performance...

just ran it  on my comp, Dual core E8400 cpu - 4 gig ddr2 ram - 2x 9800 GTX plus sli  at 1920 x 1080  v synch off and got consistent mid 30's most times dipping to mid 20's and up to high 40's


On highest setting? Thats pretty good no?

I mean 9800 GTX is very similar to the GTS250 which I used to have 2 years ago. That card was about ~40-50% of the performance of my current GTX470 in most games like Gears of War and RE5. So with 2 of them in SLI, logical thinking would indicate that you should be getting 70-80% performance compared to what I got...

yes nvidia renamed the 9800 gtx plus model to 250 and yep it is pretty good, but high  time for an upgrade me thinks I'm running a ASUS  M2N32 deluxe mobo any ideas

Hmm...I can't seem to find an M2N32 mobo that works with intel CPUs.

That CPU is still good though, I'd probably overclock it to like 3.6-3.8 ghz and slap on a big aftermarket cpu cooler and leave everything else as is...except the video card. For your setup I'd go GTX460 sli all the way :)

Sorry man i'm an idiot the ASUs mobo was the one before, my present mobo is a EVGA nForce 750i sli i remember getting it at the time because it had 2 x16 pcie slots

just picked up a  a pallit GTX465 it was half price is there much difference between it and a GTX 460
