I've gotta say, toyota, you are an absolute detriment to the community here. :thumbsdown:

why dont you read through everything we said to each other before making that assumption. I have been here 3 years and afaik this is the only time I have cussed at somebody like that. perhaps I should just be passive aggressive like azn. lol

he doesn't need to read because he knows it's video card limited.

I have easily proved that below 1280 that the game performance is still greatly affected by the cpu. just looked through the high setting benchmarks that I ran when I had the 8800gt in my system. my crt doesnt have a good refresh rate above 1280 so to me the 8800gt just wasnt worth it because Crysis was the only game that needed a huge improvement. just for the record my 3dmark06 score was 9500.


all were run in DX10 with high settings with 169.09 drivers with 8800gt at 650/1800

1024x768.... 29.32 FPS
1280x1024.. 28.68 FPS
1600x1200.. 25.06 FPS


as you can CLEARLY see even with high settings my 2.6 X2 is the bottleneck below 1280 as the fps are within a 1/2 frame of each other. I know you will still argue but that will only show what kind of person you really are. its a FACT that below 1280 the cpu does make a lot of difference in Crysis whether you want to believe it or not. also like I have already mentioned the gamespot link you tried to use actually backs up what I am saying. http://www.gamespot.com/features/6182806/p-6.html

Your 3dmark number doesn't prove anything. My 8800gs does 11000 on 3dmark with my cpu. Go read some articles about cpu scaling and then come back. Crysis is hampered by video card and not cpu.

It's so easy to prove crysis is video card limited. Go try benchmarking "your" 8600gt on low settings and than benchmark @ medium settings. Low settings will give you better frame rates than medium settings with your cpu. Why? Because your cpu is not being bottlenecked. It's your video card. If your cpu was being bottlenecked low settings or medium settings will give you barely any gain.

So where did you get those numbers from? You kept a benchmark when you had a 8800gt for a few days or did you just make up some numbers because I can see that from you.

You do not even know how to read a benchmark. Gamespot was using medium settings where a 8800gtx isn't video card limited but your 8600gt is.

I would do the benchmark about cpu scaling with crysis but I've been benchmarking all day to write a article.

I know my 3dmark06 score is low but that has nothing to with the Crysis numbers. I have already proven that the cpu is important below 1280 in Crysis and yes I did have all that info written down. I have plenty of other scores and benchmarks written down too but those were the ones that were relevant.

I will not reply to anything else you post because you are clearly incapable of accepting facts. you only see what you want to see. yes overall Crysis is a mainly gpu limited game but at 1280 and below the cpu has a big impact and that is all that I have been saying for 3 pages. you clearly have some mental issues and I will let you handle those on your own.



You were warned less than three hours ago by BFG10K to stop with the personal attacks. It didn't seem to make an impression on you. Take a few days off and consider trying to be civil towards your fellow members.

You keep saying you proved something but you haven't done a thing except call me a name or 2.

There you go with more personal attacks. :disgust:

Azn, please remove the block you have for me on your PMs, and PM when you've done this.

Thanks for your help.

My system
E6300
Asus P5B vanilla
2 gigs d9gmh
8800gs 700/1728/1040

Crysis dx10 high settings 1440x900. Slightly lower pixels than 1280x1024

E6300 @ 333 fsb 2.33ghz
30.94fps

E6300 @ 435 fsb 3.045ghz
29.86fps


1024x768
2.33ghz
39.52 fps

3.045ghz
42.88 fps

Whopping 3 fps @ 1024x768 and breaks about even on 1440x900 with 700+mhz dual core difference only when my 8800gs had enough fillrate and bandwidth to give my cpu breathing room.
