whats the 64-bit rage about again?

Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 10:51 am

People need to their tech facts straight.

Even in 32 bit..the computer doesn't see more then 3.5 gigs of ram..that does not mean it won't use it. That extra ram just does not vanish or hibernate..the computer still uses it.
As someone stated earlier 64 bit would allow the game to see my 12 gigs allowing for smoother textures, faster texture loading etc. And if they include advanced options...64 bit will leave 32 bit in the dust as far as performance and graphics rendering.

Hasn't anybody seen the difference between 32 bit Crysis 1 and 64 bit ?

Yeah for me the 32bit version is more stable and has no less FPS at all.

To the TC, to be honest i haven't actully seen to much moaning about the 64bit exe (there's been a bit but not loads), i just think some people would however have liked the option (for whatever reason), seeing as both Crysis/Warhead had 64bit exes people just assumed C2 would have it.

Windows 7 use around 1gb of ram, Crysis 2 around 1-1.5gb of ram... around 1.5gb is not used, so another 4gb of ram wont make my game load faster;) Thats why for gaming more than 4gb is pointless waste of money.

I saw no difference whatsoever and I have 8GB for video capture/editing/photoshooping (at the same time).

A 64 bit executable only really brings the opiton of taking advantage of all the extra memory in your system. As such you'll see benefits if you're capped. Crysis 2 though? Wel it runs on systems with 512 mb total memory, what do you think a 64 bit exec will do?

I saw one. The 64 bit executable was not able to load the next level. At the end of each level I had to close Crysis and rerun it with the 32 bit executable to go to the next level.

Dunno, i've been running x32 with no complaints really...
32 bit is x86 actually, don't ask why.

32 bit is x86 actually, don't ask why.

Because the architecture originally traces its roots to the 80x86 CPUs (8086, 80286, 80386, and so on). Hence its instruction set is called "x86" for short.

It couldn't have been called x32 because it was originally a 16-bit architecture. It would have been even more confusing if a 32-bit architecture was called "x32". It just so happened that the x86 architecture split after it became a 32-bit architecture.

The term "x64" really should only be used to refer to Itanium's 64-bit architecture. The 64-bit evolution of the x86 architecture (sometimes called AMD64 or EM64T) should really be called x86-64, since it's a 64-bit extension of the x86 architecture.

None of that has any bearing on Crysis 2 though, dumby. If that is your typical workflow then 8+GB is correct for you and you need a 64bit OPERATING SYSTEM. Crysis 2 will not see a performance increase from being technically allowed to address more than 3.25GB. I'm talking to people who buy 8gb JUST TO PLAY GAMES.

First off, you have no idea how old I am, nor does that have any bearing on the fact that you disagree with what I'm saying. Secondly, if you want me to take you seriously stop typing like a 12 year old girl and use correct grammar. Thirdly, learn the difference between opinions and facts. Peformance increase is not an opinion, it's a fact based on empirical and direct evidence.

Nerd rage? You were throwing around 'LOL M Y DUAL XEONS SR2 LOOK AT ME'.

To put an answer in terms that you understand, you are 'butthurt' because no one cared about your OTT purchases.

I cant tell if you are a troll or not.

First off, your grammar tells me you are a fool.

Second, your system is just a big waste of cash.
Lemme put it this way:

I have a C2Q @2.5Ghz, 6GB of SALVAGED and SLOW DDR2 RAM, and a single HD5850 and Crysis runs on max settings at about 50FPS.
I upgrade parts based on need. Loading your computer with the BEST STUFF EVUR FOR FUTUREPROOFING is stupid, as futureproofing itself is a farce. In about 2 years, all of your tech will be outdated and you will need the latest, greatest thing.

Well we're gonna need a 64bit folder anyways if they're gonna make dx11. Dx11 takes a lot of ram and gpu usage by the way. Enough said. They did after all announced dx11 today :D
