Download the Natural Mod for Crysis 2. Your 9800 will melt alot quicker!

Ultra Settings non overclocked I run a cool 41 Celcious after one hour of gaming. Anyone have an opinion what game besides Crysis 2 will test the graphics good? Battlefield 3 maybe?

Haha... 9800 is already melt.

Nvidia in Crysis 2.

The way its meant to play it!

Play it
Buy a New Card
Play it

I have been playing this game each day for about 5 hours straight.


You have alot of spare time on your hands, makes me jealous haha

My Computer turned itself off during playing too, and some seconds ago i heard my Card do loud fan-like noises.

Don't want to know what happens when all the potencial due dx11 is unleashed. nvm - guarantee.

and btw - 9600 -.? ..
hf.

im on an evga gtx 470 and ever since the new patch (1.2) my card has been reaching 105c. I play at 80% fan speed as well. This NEVER happened to me before the latest patch, ive only noticed since the new patch. Ive tried different driver installs to no avail. I recently dusted off the computer to some extent although the card hasnt been sitting undusted for a while anyways...\

im not sure what to make of this, but ill see if playing at 100% fan speed can stop the temps from continuously rising.

Crysis 2 burnt my house, I'm so mad.

Made my day.

ur tears are delicious lawl

Now on GTX460... back in Crysis... hope no crisis...

@Oroles
It will be crisis again if you haven't bought new PSU.

I have very similar rig as you - E8400 @ 3GHz, ASUS P5E X38 MB, 2x2 GB DDR2, 8800GTS 512, 2 HDDs, 7 12cm fans... and I have been using it with 750W PSU (Corsair TX750) from day one.

There is one golden rule when buying (choosing wattage) new PSU. Calculate maximum power consumption of desired PC components (using any online PSU calculator) and then multiply that number with 2. This way your PSU will operate at peak efficiency (usually between 40% and 50% of rated capacity) and you will have plenty of headroom for future upgrades.

OK, I understand... thanks

It called UNOPTIMIZED CONSOLE PORT! And obviously, Crytek didn't test it much on a PC.

+10000000

I haven't touched my copy of Crysis 2 yet, but I'm a bit anxious now for my two GTX580 cards, after reading several stories...

Crytek, care to explain? It seems it only affects Nvidia cards somehow...

Main problem with Crysis 2 (contrary to the general belief) is with its optimization level - it is extremely well done (this is not a sarcasm). Take my rig for example, it can run the game at very high settings @1680x1050 and provide above 30FPS most of the game, and all that on graphics card that is nearly 3 and a half years old (8800GTS 512)! I don't know for you, but this is something I would call a feat! This optimization comes with a price however, and that is maxed out GPU utilization. Maxed out GPU utilization results with higher power consumption and therefore higher heat dissipation from GPU and VRM section. If graphics card fails during high GPU usage, that is because it was faulty from the very begining or it was poorly designed, this is certainly not a developers falut. As far as I am concerned, Crytek did its job superbly well.

@SonicVolcano
If you have adequate PSU to run GTX580 SLI setup (around 1200W) and proper case ventilation, you shouldn't be worried. Those card must chew through any game you throw at them and come out of it unharmed. If any of your cards fail, it is because they were faulty in some way and not because Crytek did its job well.

The thing is, this game is made for consoles and have really low detailed graphics, so, where is the thing that make your card burn???

its on option in the advanced graphics settings window.

this game broke my leg i am never swimming again.....

I have a 1200W PSU yes and proper ventilation. I gave it a go this afternoon and it was OK. Both GPUs were around 70-75 degrees (and 120FPS average, lol!)

After one week after meet Crysis 2 my GeForce 9800 is dead... nice game!

this is a joke. there is no way unless your card was on its last leg anyway. I've been running this game with an ATI radeon HD 5770 on the highest settings (that it allows anyway) and im still gettin over 30FPs and temps are at 75c. when i turn on crossfirex and run two 5770's i get over 60fps and my temps are at 83c. my cards came out a little over a year ago but are pretty much the same thing as the older 4850 cards so i know this game will not burn any card up.

On another note, I loved the game and i think they did a great job. way to go crytek!

Gtx 260 216. Had a vmod at 1.18 and had to drop it back to standard (1.12v) for this game. Temps~95+°C, not good (105°C is a scary number). Nice to see that my gpu and mem were being used though.
Temps are currently ~80-90°C with ~100-90 FPS (nothing fancy, high settings). Nice to see a game respond when you adjust the clocks (using alt tab, msi afterburner); no crashing involved.

this blurry game with low quality textures burned you videocard?! **** its too lol

Hi all. I got a strange problem. Sometimes textures ( road, buildings, all environment ) are flickering to yellow or black colours.

IS this something with card or drivers? I use 266.58. drivers


I just see a black or yellow pieces of something flicker on some objects in game

Blood splatters and shadows will break up or disappear depending on the angle. Certain parts of walls, like brick, or doors will flash different colors also. lt's really getting distracting, not to mention on my nerves. is this a problem in the game or with just my game, or my system?

Today i see a flickering blue bars on a screen. One time of a 30 minutes i see a flickering lines\bars on screen. This is for 100% artifacts;( I watched this on 2 lvl.
So i think that this game is killing my GPU:(((( Other games runs fine.

Game is patched to 1.2 V

I using MAXIMUM details.

SO what now? RMA card cause i got artifacting in CRYSIS 2 ( and very rare , artifacting lines shows for 45 min) ???

After few hours on gtx 460, GPU max 60 C... on default settings.

They're good temps.

I hope to stay that way...
