What FPS are you happy with. Im new to PC gaming, Crysis and MOH being my first two actual PC games that iv owned and have never really considered FPS when messing with graphics options. But the other day while experimenting with fraps i lowered my graphics sttings from "extreme" to "very high" and I have to say the game looks much smoother while getting a better FPS> I think I prefer, for online play at least, getting around 45-40 FOS on very high than getting a constant 30 out of "Extreme" settings.

I'm going to get back to the game and see what removing high-res textures does or doesnt do to my FPS. I so much prefer playing with a high fps that ill probably never start using dx11, which follows to my next question.. Does dx 11 or high res inhibit Frames per second?

what kind of FPS do you prefer to play on?

You might wanna try turning tessellation off (reduce object quality to very high instead of ultra) and you'll get a nice 5-10 fps gain. High textures off will also give you a better performance, but maybe tess off will be enough for you. I rather to have everything in very high for mp (I get 60fps constant) and in ultra for sp (40-60). I think playable is past 30fps, but a mp with that fps is really sad, thats why I passed on crysis wars [ ] and the original crysis mp which was kind of slow and unpopulated anyway.

30 is good for me in singleplayer. But in MP I turn it down to get ~45.

Anything above 25fps is good.

I'm dealing with 20-50fps in single player on ultra for the eye candy, but for multiplayer I turn the graphics to very high for a solid 60+ fps. I don't see the need for super graphics in multi because if your staring at graphics then you're not paying attention to the action.

i like many other bought this game because we wanted a "Crysis" experiance. There is nothing wrong not wanting to blast your settings, but a lot of us liked Crysis because it really pushed our computers and looked visually stunning. I prefer getting low but playble FPS all max settings in a Crysis game than high FPS and terrible visuals. Also i paid $780 for a GPU and another $400 to watercool and overclock it, so i demand amazing visuals.

but thats just my 2 cnets.

I was under the impression that "objects" was simply draw distance. At least, that's what it seemed to be in DX9 crysis 2 we had months ago. You put the objects on low, you got stuff popping up out of nowhere, no?

Objects was one of the few settings I actually wanted on the highest settings (because my CPU is basically the best CPU you can get, but my video card is just alright). Objects was traditionally a CPU task.

try vsync on - off

it will gain some fps

Does dx 11 or even high res textures do anything to your fps?

anyone?

Does dx 11 or even high res textures do anything to your fps?

AS FOR Crysis 2 with DX11, no, not really. High Res textures, a little bit. I must have my 60+fps for first person shooters but I still play with these enabled. I like my MP eye candy, even though if puts you at a disadvantage what with motion blur and **** going off in your screen

Try setting Shaders and shadows lower, as well as object detail and particles, and make sure you dont have any resource hungry programs running like an internet browser while playing.
