DX11 Patch Announced for Crysis 2!

''developers are working full time on patches and DX11, the web team doesn't work on this so can produce other things :)''

but if announcements are not listed on the gamesas site they don't hold any water, but i do like how it says patches meaning more than one, if true.
That guy is the lead community liason for gamesas...it's legit

I used FRAPs and my GTX 580 is running the game at 37 to 45 frames per second at 2560 x 1600 resolution. That is pretty much perfect for me. The DX11 patch would probably drop it down to 20 to 25, and that is probably still barely playable for single player, but forget multiplayer.

is your processor overclocked? that would help alot.

My processor is very overclocked. 3.2 Ghz bumped up to 3.9 Ghz.

And for those saying to lower my resolution, why the hell would I want to do that? Running at a non-native resolution will blur things, and besides, if I have to run at a lower resolution to run DX11, sort of defeats the point of "better graphics".

A most welcome piece of news. I was quite disappointed at the amount of consolitis this game has suffered. Crysis and Warhead were a lot of fun and I enjoyed just building a rig to be able to play those games maxed out. I even hacked the configs and what not to get even more out of it. I know the patch will not solve all the gripes I have with the game, but I do welcome the DX 11 featureset. I just hope there is a texture pack as well to make the game look even better!

What kind of processor do you have? More importantly, what kind of screen do you have for that res? Any single screen solution that supports 2560*1600 I could find costs at least as much as an entire gaming rig.

Anyway, SLI 460s do rock solid 60 fps V-Synced at 1920*1080. If you get 40 fps at 2560*1600 that's what you can expect. Crysis 1 should run worse for you, so should a bunch of other games.

Splurged for a Dell U3011 (about half the cost of the rig from Digital Storm). Should hopefully be the last monitor I need to buy for a very long time. Processor is an Intel 930 (4 core, 8 threads). I won't buy two/three graphics cards. The speed at which Nvidia and AMD keep cranking out new cards, I just keep buying one of the latest and greatest and selling the old one on ebay for usually just $100 to $200 less than I bought it for originally. Besides, my office already gets hot enough with just one GTX 580.

I'm rather jealous mate... That screen is 1,375 Euro in my country.... I can understand your desire for single GPUs (I'll go this route the next time I upgrade myself) but I fear SLI/XF is the way to go in this performance class.

2560*1600 is almost twice the resolution of 1920*1080 (1.91 aprox) so you're in the very enthusiastic end of hardware. But damn, do I envy you..... If you're lucky, dx11 might actually improve your performance, at least if they release proper gfx options so you can maintain current setting but use dx11 mode. The gae could do with soe tesselation and physics imo however ;)

That's right lmao.. this dude apparently needs to learn it doesn't improve your performance even if you're running the game on TV monitors. You're capping up your framerate in the game. Stop trying to have bragging rights like these console boys.. "hey i got a tv that can play Crysis 2." Whatever.. it's nothing. You have a great deal to learn how fps works especially in graphics.

Go play Crysis 1 for years and then come back here til you're smart. Yea i'm a jerk but who cares :D

Most monitors that run 2560 x 1600 cost more than my entire gaming rig. So I think its safe to say you have more money than sense. I run 1440 x 900 and I love it. Offers the perfect blend of high resolution gaming and relative performance in games.

Crysis 2 runs at a near constant 60 FPS at that resolution for me. GTX 560 TI. And as others have said if the DX 11 patch uses DX11 tessellation Crysis 2 will be unplayable for you, especially at that resolution.

How does that apply to my post?

I specifcally wrote that there could be a performance game by maintaining current settings while running in dx11 mode but the game would benefit from tesselation and physics imo.


People need to read more thorughly before commenting.

No offense but this post does'nt make you seem knowledgable either. In fact, what you wrote does'nt make much sense and does'nt seem to be a response to anything in particular.

I wrote on the 3rd page of this thing. Come back a few weeks later and it's 120 pages down the line and no word from Crytek. Love you Crytek but seriously, come on.

I see, so because I have more money and can afford to buy something you can't (or don't want), I obviously have less sense than you. I would argue that because I have more money, I must have more sense to have made it in the first place. See, I can be a dike too! Yeah.

They probably gonna release the patch with the Crysis 2 Editor early summer. Dunno what "early summer" means but hope Dx11 will be integrated.

I think it should be out in the next few months. I have not bought the game yet because I have so many others that are taking up my time right now. But I figure by the time I upgrade my system to handle DX 11 content mainly for Battlefield 3 the patch will be out and that is when I will have finished the current games I am playing and I will snag a copy of Crysis 2 then. By the time bugs will have been ironed out, DX 11 will be enabled, my rig will be able to handle it and the price of the game will be cheaper. Win win situation!
