i dont understand why people are raging about 64-bit Crysis 2 or rather the lack of it...
can anyone care to explain?

Dunno, i've been running x32 with no complaints really...

People are idiots.

64bit will NOT make the game perform better, it will technically be able to access more than 3.25GB but it will not actually do it. It doesn't need to. CPU and GPU are far more important. In some cases it would actually make the game perform worse.

Anyone who bought 8gb of RAM for gaming is also an idiot.

some ppl need to rage about something. if the game have been 64bit they rage for the 32bit and so on...
and the problem is that the real problems are missed because of the endless idiot threads

The only programs that truly benefit from being 64bit are programs like Photoshop or 3D Rendering software.

8gb is for audio/video editing and 3d rendering.

oh ya lol whats my 48 gigs used for then if 8 is only for video and audio

Web servers/intranet servers/workstations.

People who have 64-bit computers are most powerful one for sure. 64-bit Windows 7 can support upto 192 GB of RAM which is a major lack in 32-bit Windows 7 or any previous Windows OS which could support only upto 4GB of RAM.

In future I will build a 64-bit PC for sure.

That doesn't make the slightest difference. If you had 192GB of ram Crysis 2 would NOT PERFORM BETTER. It's a simple fact, not an opinion.

Probably right and yet i do nothing but game on my machine lol.

i ahve a 64-bit Windows 7...

and the fact that "you can ahve 192 GB of RAM" is stupid. The processor will not actually be able to utilise the RAM and system would most likely fail due to the stupid ammount of RAM

No im just a wise investor that wont haft to upgrade his dual xeon machine for 4 or 5 years big difference between spending money wisely and buying new hardware that will be outdated in 2 months.

You paid money for hardware that was not designed for you, and won't offer you any performance gain in its primary use over anyone with an i7 k model and 4gb of RAM.

The i7 k is worthless over the i5 k for gaming, the six-core AMDs aren't even worth it at this point.

I think the 64bit arguement is about how scalable the game engine is in a number of different areas, reading between the lines it simply boils down to the current release not meeting PC gamers expectations given the CE3 tech demos. Like many other aspects simply creating a 64bit executable won't change much by itself, you need bigger more complex and interactive environments/objects to utilise the extra resources.

U obviously dont have much expertise on what type of market the sr-2 was made for it was made for benchmarkers and gamers and all type of work related things too i personally bought it for benchmarking but to tell me my sr-2 and my 4 gtx 580s along with my 2 xeons and 48 gigs of ram wasnt designed for gaming then you must be pritty stupid and shouldnt talk if u dont have any knowledge in that department.

I wouldn't touch AMD in general with a 10 foot pole. They're just so.....****....

Also isn't the only real difference between a i5 and i7 multi-threading that really is only used in video editing?

Sir, you do not understand this, a 64bit .exe would allow Crysis to use more than 4gigs of ram (including windows, programs, etc.).
More ram means more possibilities for higher texture resolution, and other nifty things.
YES, it will not make the game run better. The choice between 32bit and 64bit is exactly like High vs Extreme graphics option, it is your choice whether you are looking for eye-candy or performance.
Cheers, sir.

Dual xeons not made for gaming, games can't use all the cores.
Games are 99% 32bit, can't address more than 3.25GB, on the rare occasion that they can they don't need to.
60fps is all you need for gaming, 4 GPUs over 2 will not make the game LOOK smoother at 1080p.

The top I7 beats the SR2.

Go benchmark Crysis 1 and 32bit mode and 64bit mode. It makes NO DIFFERENCE IN PERFORMANCE. I already stated that it would technically allow C2 to address more than 3.25gb, read my other posts...

U really are retarded go check the top benchmarks on futuremark sr-2 are always ontop for benchmarks anyone that denies that doesnt know anything about benchmarking.

Stock speed the i7 wins by 3 FPS
Overclocked the Sr-2 wins by 3 FPS

3 FPS is completely negligible.

Much like they say about people who buy sports cars, you're compensating for something... or lack thereof. lol

workstations.

What exactly do you think workstations are used for? Do you know how much RAM After Effects can utilize when you're previewing a long video?

I laugh at people who post in "whats your gaming rig" that they have 16GB of ram for gaming >:D Also i laugh at those who buy FOR GAMING graphic cards with more than 1GB of ram :X
Unless someone isn't working with graphic/video editor, 4gb ram and 1gb ram on gfx card is what you need to be happy with games
