Maxing out Crysis on 4870 X2

[rodaz440]

hey wat temps do u get on the card?

[arvutihull]

In Crysis about 81C maximum.

[bizzel456]

you should manually adjust the fan to 40% and it wont budge over 65 and it's not really any louder than your stock cpu air cooler. and if your concerned that it will over heat dont worry even with manual settings if the card gets to hot it will spped up to about 80% for about five seconds wich will bring temps back down

[xstreamkills]

u run better with Intle better Cpu

[arvutihull]

I have Intel now (i7 920 @ 4,1GHz).

[woodshuck]

that is not true nvidia works better with intel and amd works better with ati

[arvutihull]

Absolutely not, there is no difference. People who say that Intel + nVidia and AMD + ATi is best are noobs.

[woodshuck]

yeah sure just the fact that AMD and InTel also say that on conferences

[cncmasterw]

Well in somecases its True that those 2 Fit nicely because of what they are built for ATI is for Rendering as Intel is for more Stress Related programs IM no fanboy I love ATI NVIDIA AND INTEL AND WILL ALWAYS BUY FROM THEM ^_^

[donkeyboy2k7]

@woodshuck ur right, ATI work better with AMD and intel and Nvidia work better together, it doesnt make that much of a diff but it does makes a difference

[woodshuck]

finaly thank u

[MasterDOOM2010]

Nice Movies and your Monster PC Rullz. :)

AMD - ATI Radeon Best Choice

[arvutihull]

Thanks

[TedWinni]

AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 940 Black Edition will it handle that one

[arvutihull]

Yes.

[TedWinni]

Cheers mate :)

[arvutihull]

No problem! :-)

[TedWinni]

Fucking hell that was quick Arvutihull lmao

[TedWinni]

hey mate.. i have the same mobo.. what CPU's do they support ?

[arvutihull]

ASUS M3A32-MVP Deluxe supports basically all AM2 socket AMD CPUs (Athlons, Athlon X2's, Sempron's, Phenom X3's, Phenom X4 and non-AM3 socket Phenom 2's).

[TedWinni]

Soo all latest AMd cpu's ? lol

[arvutihull]

No, It can't support AM3 socket CPU's.

[DianteEvra]

I'd recommend going raid 0 for this game two. It boosted my fps almost 8-9.

[arvutihull]

i'll just get a fast single drive in near future.

[FORZALEGEND360]

Laggy , that 4870x2 cannot handle crysis played at thoughs settings.

[arvutihull]

check my new videos... I get 42FPS average without AA and 35FPS average with 8xAA in gameplay (with core i7 920 @ 4GHz). I had my GPU bottlenecked to hell in this video...

[fantomfeltpen]

i get about 27 fps with everything maxed except AA. i put AA at 4x. i use 2 geforce 8800gt in sli... just to show you that a $600 card barely outperforms 2 $130 cards. but i have my 9850 overclocked to 2.93ghz sooo.... idk

[arvutihull]

Check my channel for a new Crysis gameplay video... in this video I had my card bottlenecked to hell!!! I'm getting 35+ FPS now with 1680x1050, 8xAA and very high (with core i7 920 @ 3,76GHz).

[alejoh2]

Something Calld Fraps? If you know

[arvutihull]

everyone know about fraps... the problem is that it drops FPS... if you know?

[addoumma]

if you know,

fraps uses cpu and is quite demanding by the way.

the more cpu that isnt being used by the game the better!

[Dark4Vendetta]

You should upgrade to the Phenom 2 x4. It kills the Phenom 1 processor.

[arvutihull]

I already bought a Core i7.

[puresofmeh]

You just mixed an Intel Processor with an ATi/AMD Video Card. I think you need a Nvidia card now...

[arvutihull]

yes, my next card will be the top card from Nvidia's GT300 series.

[MouthofSaurons]

It'll take loong time before Crysis gets ultra maxed out...

Very High

16xQ AA

5040x1050 Resolution (Surround Monitor)

Texture Mods (Some exists; but few)

Lightning Mods (Already Made)

And the final of all, increase drawing distance (can be done with Sandbox2)

[hercules71185]

they have higher res than that out already.

[arvutihull]

SoftTH should be able to do 7680x1600 resolution, but noone has tested it. Matrox TripleHead2Go can do maximum of 3840x1024 resolution.

[Computenator]

4xAA-ga jookseb puhtalt?

[arvutihull]

natuke puhtamalt kui 8xAA-ga.

[HQNixblicker]

the 4870x2 is very nice

crysis run with 4870x2 perfect

[Jacob500]

Whats ur fan speed on ur 4870 X2?

[arvutihull]

usually it's automatic (20-40%) but on this video it was 70%.

[Jacob500]

ok cool, thx

[orangedrink]

sweet. i have the 9850. best bang for the buck oc'ed to 3.1 with ease. multiplier 15.5 votage 1.400. i use a coolermaster v8 and idle at 37.

only using a ati 4850 :(. hope to get an x2. you you recommend the card? im thinking of getting it.

[arvutihull]

it's only worth getting if you play at 1680x1050 and higher resolution. On example 1280x1024 you'l not get any big difference in performance compared to 4850.

[dp0Garfield]

Can someone answer me this question. is the AMD Phenom X4 9500 Quad-Core Processor any dif from the AMD Phenom 9850 X4 Quad-core, and would i be able to play Crysis on it with a ATI RADEON HD 3200 Graphics card or would i need a better graphics card?

[arvutihull]

Crysis will play with that graphics card, but smooth only on low settings i guess (not sure about that). Difference between 9500 phenom and 9850 Phenom is different clock frequency (GHz) and 9850 has unlocked multiplier.

[AMDphenom9600]

I reccommend that you get AMDs Fusion Utillity and run it in the Expert profile! - I run it on my 9600BE @2.3ghz and 4870 512mb and I get a *very stable* 30fps while running @ max, 1440x900, 8x AA, 16x Af, DX9 On Vista x64 Home Premium!. - Believe me, you'll see a real difference!. Have Fun with it!, check out the fusion section in the AMD forums for updates on the utillity and to post any bugs (a team member is on there almost 24/7, so you will definately be heard!)

[arvutihull]

Thanks for information, i'll check that out. Difference is definately that you played on DX9. On DX9 Crysis runs double fast!

[cesarBR2]

did you run great crysis in very high 1920x1200 AAX4?

[arvutihull]

Yes. There were no difference between those resolutions. 1680x1050 runs only like 0,5 FPS better than 1920x1200.

[jeremy34769]

That is a damn shame, I am starting to think this game is a scam! A 4870 x2 should kill it! I think crysis relys to much on memory space and Cpu speed then it does on gpu power and memory speed. Trust me I got ballistix tracer dr400 and I can watch on the tracer lights how fast my memory is being accessed when playing this game and it runs about equal to ddr333 when playing.

[arvutihull]

I agree with you. Crysis is optimized for nVidia arhitecture (few shader cores, fast clock).

[jeremy34769]

And the reason I say that is because I am using a 3850 agp! With a 3.4ghz p4 oc 3.8ghz 2 gb ddr400 and I am getting similar FPS around 20. Except during heavy battle.

[arvutihull]

Crysis runs bad on ATI, especially with ATI's dual-GPU cards.

[jeremy34769]

Your processor speed is holding you back. Try overclocking up the GHZ to get higher FPS, I believe it may be bottlenecking.

[arvutihull]

yes, FPS improved around 3-4 when I OC-d cpu to 2835mhz.

[kicedz007]

your pc is like my mum's vac . from your speakers i can't hear any voice. i got a crap pc (512mb ddr2 @ 295 mhz , ati radeon x550xtx, celeron d 336 processor @ 3.07 ghz overclocked, 80 gb hdd SATA2 7200 rpm)and i am playing crysis on low with med. shadows without shaders (because my Radeon haven't got a shader)with 25 fps !!! you , with your machine , can't play crysis on very high with at least 35 fps ?! that is to say "LoL!" hahahahaha !!!

[arvutihull]

There wasn't any game voice in this video.

Me with my maxishine...? lol i don't know what you wanted to say. Crysis is very shitty coded and optimized for nVidia.

[pronzie283]

the duck scene was funny lol

[arvutihull]

lol yes, i was first on youtube who wasn't throwing him away :)

[pronzie283]

That micro stutter improved not because of video cards alone but because of enhanced hdd random write/read speed and new speedy SSDs, all video games load in the pagefile and even when your playing, the game loads maps and new characters on the fly which also causes lags and large stutters, if your HDD isnt 10k 15k

or SLC SSD Your game is gonna suffer. Putting your OS on a DDR ram drive would eliminate large and micro stutter. It would make the pagefile and loaded games as fast as the ram itself

[arvutihull]

so changing my 7200rpm HDD to 10000rpm raptor will give me more FPS?

[darksidelead]

if you got a gamer's eye you can clearly see the microstudder, but the microstudder did improve over the 3870x2.

[arvutihull]

If there is microstudder, there is very few of it. At least it's not making impossible to play the game.

[belIis]

awesome video. im building a very similar system very soon. will be sure to add vids up as soon as its done. *subscribed*

[arvutihull]

Thank you! Waiting forward to it. :)

[karaokesteve]

dude, great vid

[arvutihull]

Thanks!

[hardcoregamer847A]

hey dude do u experience microstuttering(small lags) in the games,cause ive heard Dual GPU cards like 9800 GX2 have that problem???

Also what temperatures u get with the card???

[arvutihull]

No, i don't have lags, FPS is very stable in all games (in crysis around 18-30 all time).

For temps you can check out my 4870 X2 unboxing and comparison video - 4870 X2 is around 50C hot on idle when fan is 100%, on load 56-57. When fan is automatic (25%) temps go to 85C some times on load.

[damnfun]

AA is not needed

[arvutihull]

yes it is, in video there is no difference but in real life you can see that picture goes more soft and better. (of course you must have good monitor to see it, with 19 inch monitor you can't see difference)

[Kodandis]

Sorry, but that is not quite the case. Antialiasing is a technique that was introduced in the first place to remove the jagged lines that appear on the ancient 640*480 and 800*600 screens, also 1024*768. With resolutions higher than 1280*1024 the difference is getting smaller and smaller, and the game you are playing is getting slower and slower. And, in my opinion, AA looks ugly at resolutions over 1400*1050. The image doesn't look sharp and clear.

[arvutihull]

well, it looks better at least on my screen.

lol.

[harrisezzat]

hey how do u like that acer lcd

cuz i was thinking of buying one...any cons??

[arvutihull]

I at least like mine. When talking about cons, well, I have one dead pixel near right LCD corner, but I'm sure it's transporting problem, not acer's problem.

[ish718]

Yea ur FPS are too low, latest drivers?

OC your cpu. Thats the FPS you get with one HD4870.

Do you have AA on?

[arvutihull]

Catalyst 8.8 is installed.

I'll OC it as soon as I get new cooler!

I mainly had 8xAA on in this video.

[ish718]

AA is not good for crysis, it will kill any card...

[arvutihull]

In benchmark I get only 2 FPS less with 16xQ enabled. For ATI's 4800 and nVidia's GTX 200 cards AA is not card killing ;)

[ish718]

There was one case where AA kills fps, at 2560x1600 with two HD4870x2s in quadfire :P

check out the anandtech review

[arvutihull]

Yeah, this resolution is like twice of 1080p :P

[ish718]

AA isn't really necessary as long as you play using your monitors native resolution

[arvutihull]

Mainly yes. Image quality is only a little bit better with AA. On smaller monitors and resolutions there is no difference at all.

[ish718]

Time for you to make some crysis warhead videos :P

Chop chop!, you have work to do, j/k lol

[arvutihull]

I'll do videos with warhead as soon as I get the game! :)

[SimonLANO]

Try 8x AA instead, then u see it wil drop majory. the card dotn support 16xQ

[arvutihull]

16xQ drops FPS more. I haven't run on 16xQ AA in this video.

[calebbridwell]

hey try to oc ur processor it is a low clock and i think it i sbottlenecking it.

[arvutihull]

I need better cooler... by now I can get only 2,7 GHz without crashing.

[calebbridwell]

dang man u must just have the stock cooler. u can make the fan go faster tho by goin into the bios and looking at the fan settings u can tell it to go max speed at all times.

[arvutihull]

cooler is maxed out already.

[LetsPlayGmod]

Nice, but as for your computer and all, is it noisy? The 4870x2, do the fans generate a lot of sound? Thanks in advance for answers.

[arvutihull]

It's not very noisy when on idle. When on load, my temp controller put all case fan's to 100% and it's going noisy, especially when I change GPU fan to 40% or 60%.

[Sexofobic]

Damn, it was a blast to play at your's. Nice vid.

[arvutihull]

Cheers man!

[brokenmoth08]

Man this vid looks awesome in High quality. This vid makes me want that card even more.

[arvutihull]

Thank you! That's an awesome card!

[thedummestagent]

good system I got the intel core 2 quad, the same card the motherboard is p5 delux sli ready, and 4 gigs of ram.

[arvutihull]

Nice system! What frames do you get in Crysis on 1680x1050 very high and 16xQ? I would like to know because I get much lower FPS than I expected.

[thedummestagent]

In avrage I get 32 fps on very high settings in 16xQ. I got my quad core at 3.6 ghz and the reselution is 1920x1200.

[arvutihull]

Okay thanks for information! I got only 20,165 FPS on 1680x1050... something is wrong with that card. Even CPU bottleneck can't be so big that I get 10 frames fewer than other people.

[thedummestagent]

It can be somthing wrong with my benchmarks maby I did take it on high settings I shall take a new benchmarks I reply when i am done.

[arvutihull]

Ok, i'll be waiting.

[thedummestagent]

My benchs now was Avrg 23 fps, max 31 fps and min 18 fps. I did have it at the same settings as yours.

[arvutihull]

Nice! Thanks for information!

[tricccple]

good stuff, 5/5

[arvutihull]

Thanks man! But i'm thinking that the card is not working 100% correctly... maybe that's a driver problem.

[calebbridwell]

hey in ur specs u say 3870x2 but in everything else you say 4870 x2 so what is it?

[arvutihull]

it's 4870 X2 lol. I've copy-d my specs from my 3870 X2-s Aquamark video lol.

[arvutihull]

fixed now.

[bongman4ghz]

honestly man the gameplay sucks ass.

[bongman4ghz]

this is a brillant video man.

AMD ownage.

but this game i dont like.

i think its the gameplay.

kick ass system.

*****

[arvutihull]

Thanks man! It's just good for benchmarking!
