Frame Rate Out of Control!!! Crytek just can't get it right

Post » Thu Jul 07, 2011 12:46 am

Seriously whats up with my frames going from 140 to 22? No its not my rig no other games do anything like this on my system. My frames jump from 140 to 88 to 22 to 55 to 70, seriously crytek just do one thing right already you have really messed this game up beyond all expectations.....sigh hurry the hell up already BF3!!!

Really Crytek can you just give us an answer anything at all just say something!
At first after the release of 1.9 and DX 11 I was seriously doubting my system and wether or not I my rig just wasn't up to par, but its not me or all the other rigs its you Crytek, you just messed up yet once again.
At least tell me Crytek you are working on it and acknowledge the fact that you know something needs to be fixed. And in case people are wondering here is my rig stats it is more than enough to handle DX 11 and any new games.
Phenom quad procs 3.2ghz
2gb ATI 5870
8gb ram
Windows 7 64 bit
I am also running a creative labs X-FI titanium fatality series sound card (I mention this cause having a nice sound card does help take a lot of the work off the procs).

Please just give us back 1.8 until there is a 1.9 fix or release a hot fix something.

Random FPS fluctuations have always been an issue in the Crysis series. it's do to the fact that Crysis (NOT CE3) Doesn't utilize the GPU effectivly. I have had everything from dual 5870s drop to 20fps all the way to dual 6990s. Also it has to do that you are using an AMD/ATi product. The Crysis series has been optimized for the Nvidia line.

Are you talking about Crysis 1? Because that's a CPU bottleneck. I could run the game on the lowest res, with no AA, and still get 30fps minimums in physics and objects heavy places (like the warship in the harbour or the rooftop at the school). I could use 4 GTX 580s, and I would still get 30fps minimums at those points. Until I use something equivilent to an i5 2500k @ 10GHz, we will not see 60fps at those points in the game. Problem comes from CE2 using only 2 cores of the CPU, plus the fact you've got 100 soldiers and all sort of other objects all being rendered at once.

So GPU itilisation has never been a problem for me in Crysis and Warhead. As far as I can see, it's not a problem in Crysis 2 either. I can put everything on "very high" @ 1080x1920, never getting less than 50fps, with one 5850. I can max everything out (apart from tessellation) and run the game at 1280x720 and never get less than 50fps. I've never used crossfire though, but I will be doing soon....

I think a lot of you guys must be running the tessellation on, regardless. I mean, I can walk up to a wall and get 10 fps with tess on. But if I don't look at the wall, the frame rate will be back up to normal again.

Am i like the only one who gets descent 30 fps when aproaching tessellated wall??? i got GTX 560 ti

It probably runs way better on nvidia cards, atm.

its your CPU brah, please dont go into denial and tell me 3.2 is fast enough, i went through that same embarrassment once before, simply, its just CPU heavy, 3.2 is low midrange now adays, if you want a system that will never fluctuate, you need a 4.0, I also see you running 2 cards, how can you blame gpu stuttering on the game? All ive seen 1.9 do is make it more CPU heavy, ive haven't noticed a difference, but suggesting from all the complaints, its from people with CPU problems. Which unfortunately is about 80% of people.

This guy is probably right. I have an i7 2600 OCed to 4.2 GHz, no problems at all. GPU is a OCed GTX580
