Crysis running at 1920x1200 on the 2407WFP

[JAG87]

Well just to disprove those brutal FAKE benchmarks that came out a few weeks ago, here is a video of Crysis running in all its splendor. And no, its not running at 0.2 fps.

Too bad there is no mention on what hardware is being used. If they are playing it in Vista with DX10 does that mean there is an actual working 8800 driver out there?

There has been a "working" DX10 driver for developer use for a long time... stability and performance are another issue.

End of feb. is the target for a WHQL DX10/DX9 driver from nVIDIA for 8800, AFAIK (no DX10 SLI support... to be delivered later).

Since SLI isn't being supported in Vista as of yet. The most powerful config that could have been used was a single 8800GTX. And if the game was running like that in its current state, just wait till it's ptimized. Oh, sweet, gaming nirvana.

Really tough to say if those LCD's are 3007's, 2407's, or even 2007's... The one in the office at the beginning running Windows Media Player looks like a 2407WFP to me (and I'm typing this on one). The ones at the kiosk might even be 2007's - I'm pretty sure those are not 3007's...

Either way, it's running quite nicely from what I can tell.

I dont think those are 3007 either...seems way too small to be true. And the game doesnt seem to be running really smooth...just look at the scene where the guys is shooting at the copter...

This one sure looks like a 3007

The one in the interview segments with the THG guy looks to be at least a 27", maybe a 30". Case looks to be an Antec Nine Hundred and the panel is about as tall as the case. Comparing my 2407 to my Nine Hundred, there's a 4-5" difference in height. The one where the reviewer is hunched over in a darkened setting does look like a 2407 though. Also the images looked a little pixelated, so they may be running non-native or maybe it is the 27". Either way, game looks great and seems to be running well on 8800s. Also, I wouldn't be shocked if there were some optimized SLI Vista drivers for Crysis, so I wouldn't rule that out either.

Im so itching to buy a New video card right now, too bad there isn't too much good to owning an 8800 yet. Bad driver support and the possibilty of the cards dropping dramitically when AMD/ATi release their dx10 line up. Day in and Day out I add a 8800 GTS to my newegg cart and backout at the last second. I've owned my X1900XT for just about a year and I kind of have that feeling you get like you've been married for 12 years and find reasons not to climb into bed with the wife. Don't get me wrong, I "love" this card but I want that honeymoon stage back, lol. Who knows maybe I'll pull the trigger tonight on that EVGA superclocked GTS. You think if I buy now the refresh cards will come in time for me to utilize the step up program?


** edit OH, and I would be considering the GTX but I dont think it will fit in my Thermaltake soprano without modding the the hard drive rail. So for me it's either the GTS or possibly the shorter version of the R600

but we never see him playing directly on that one, only the much smaller one in the different room

I agree, and I don't think they said anywhere what resolution they were running, or if it was in DX10 mode.

update:

in the introduction the monitor is a 3007WFP, you can tell easily by the size of it.

in the gameplay scenes the monitor used is a 2407WFP, you can tell by the size of the monitor compared to the keyboard in front of the player (being a 3007WFP owner I can tell), and by the buttons at the bottom right of the monitor. the 3007WFP has only 3 buttons for brightness adjustment, while the monitor in the video has 6 buttons, just like the 2407.



This implies that the game is running at 1920x1200 under Windows Vista and most likely a single 8800 GTX. 2407 owners, rejoice.

Possibly, but not for consumers yet.

I think you guys are right about the first screen being a 3007WFP, thanks YOyoYOhowsDAjello.

Seriously, I'm not trying to put a damper on this (as I'd love to be able to play Crysis on my current rig), but even if the game is running on a 2407WFP there is still no way of knowing if it is at native rez or not and certainly no way of telling if that is with any AA/AF. Granted, I don't think it is the intention of this clip to show how well Crysis runs at high resolution on current hardware, but to just give us a glimpse of the game. I think you are reading too much into this if you are taking this video clip (of another video clip) to be some sort of solid proof that Crysis will run smoothly at 1920x1200. That aside, the clips were pretty cool, and I'm definitely always interested to hear more about this game.

I know it's just a pre-alpha demo, but it looked hella choppy during the helicopter scene... oh well.

Hard to tell what it really looks like when they're actually using a video camera to record what it looks like

I guess I don't care about games as much to really get into all this

 

[KeithTalent]

I have yet to be disappointed by any of the Crysis videos I have watched so far. Really looking forward to this one. :thumbsup:

here is a video of Crysis running in all its splendor at the best possible resolution anyone could hope for.

The best possible resolution is 2560x1600 (for now anyway).

ya sorry BFG, the original thread title was Crysis running at 2560x1600, because i thought the panel they were using was the 3007. turns out the 3007 is only used in the intro, while in the gameplay scenes you can see the screen is a 2407.

i forgot to edit that line.

 

[miniMUNCH]

I think an AT CES review mentioned, in passing, that they witnessed crysis running 2560x1600 on a single 8800 GTX card... at the MS booth maybe?

Edit: Nope... can't find a link. I could've swore I read it somewhere but I can't find it now.

I'll wait for XboX 360 version. I saw on G4 that they were planning a simultaneous release for PC and Xbox 360. I'd rather spend $60 for the 360 game than $675 for an 8800GTX and Crysis.

I don't doubt that it would run...but under which mode and at what FPS?

Your info is outdated... Crytek released a statement to the effect that there is currently no plan to develop/release Crysis on Xbox360 or PS3.

Although... I wouldn't be surprised to see crysis hit the 360 at some point down the road (early 08... I dunno ??).
