Cryostasis PhysX Benchmark

[0m3ga1000]

they should make it so the cloth tears like in mirrors edge.

[no1doesitlikeme]

Well, it certainly doesn't look like water. regardless of what they were trying to achieve with this. Water doesn't slide around in little lumps of material, it flows and rushes in a continuous stream.

[rKrDuDe265]

1 big problem: No Multicore support. You better have a GTX 480 or an SLI setup or theres no way in hell you're maxing this out with good framerate.

[MrRazrWire]

Kinda cool lighting effects @6:20

[Arthounot]

I nevr know if pysics in on or off, in other words. Untill today i don't rreally miss it, i only see my framerate drop. Physx still looks too scripted, see you in 2030 guys.

[Gandalf17]

awesome game but the performance is very poor even n my PC with the recomended specs

[orionpk]

this game run slow on a nvidia 9400 ,

[Radwar99]

Well, that depends on your graphics settings, I played it with the settings the game gave me (1024x768 with a mix of medium and high settings) and the game played great on my 8800 GTS with 512 megs. Also for PhysX, you really need 2 graphics cards for optimal performance. 1 for the general graphics & effects and 1 that takes charge only of the PhsyX technology.

[RazaKator]

@Radwar99

2 graphic cards? is that possible?

[jacobonix]

@RazaKator

yes!!! SLI for nVidia and Crossfire for ATI

[imnotstpid]

@RazaKator yup

[Manare71]

Water FX are just crappy, far from looking real.

[rayright15]

well, if you were to know how hard it is for something (cpu-wise) to produce water fx, then you wouldn't be calling it terrible, even though it's not the best graphic game there is.

[GCVos]

Don't give him thumbs down, he's right. The water doesn't look real at all. I'm not saying the game looks bad, but the water does.

[splintercell1290]

is there a way to make the game run smoothly on ATI Radeon HD 4350?

[halfpol]

no! Dont buy 4350 this is VERYYYYYYYYYYY LOW!

[splintercell1290]

the system requirements said that you need a minimum of x1900 to run the game, so I got the game and am running it on 4350. Any solutions?

[orionpk]

that card model its too low

[IAreCrazyChris]

probably fraps thats making the lag.

[rayright15]

@orionpk just for some side note info, the 9400 gt "is too low". the _800 series are a series bythemselves. So a 7800 gt would be worse than 8800 gt, but not the 8600 gt.

[PUREOWN]

All those graphics and game physics and the gun looks like something out of call of duty 2 what a fucking piece of shit.

[Niklasdiver123]

@PUREOWN the graphic isnt like call of duty 2. and cod 2 doesnt even has physics. And The Guns..... they are based on real ones. so its 100% not a copy of cod2. Cryostasis isnt even based in ww2

[PUREOWN]

i was simply saying that it looks like shit.

[Niklasdiver123]

Don't you see that he is wearing gloves ;)

[PUREOWN]

i mean look at his fucking hand it looks like a loaf of bread with fingers crudely cut out of it

[Sweetking182]

no cloth destruction, man

still cryostasis is a good game

[SHOPATTHEMALL]

jesus christ even the video runs slow on my computer

[thara32]

LOL

[bongmygong1991]

The physic are great, but the swaying of the gun can annoying.

[ihamoitc2005]

Not impressive at all. Console games have far exceeded this. The only area where this outstrips consoles is in lighting and shadows. The animation, physics, and water simulation are terrible.

[PWN3R3D]

i hope for you this is a joke...

[fifefingerdeathpunch]

bioshock is worst game i have ever seen this looks 100 times better

[xoen6]

system shock 2

bioshock

cryostasis

3 rare, good games, imo.

[VegasAcer]

Bio and system shock are rare? Are you aware of their sales status...wow...

[xoen6]

@VegasAcer , i meant these are unique=rare.

[pennyshill]

Bioshock will be remembered as a great game. it is a great game. probably one of the last great traditional style corridor shooters. It has one of the highest average review scores of any shooter. it has great weapons. great powers. excellent and original setting. its fast paced. responsive. runs extremely smoothly on low end machines. doesn't need Nvidia hardware to max out and most importantly it is FUN to play! any true shooter fan will agree!

[verodrigues]

Games created for specific systems prove that they are BAD games. Cryostasis proves it! It has good graphics but is specific to Nvidia. Additionally, Kronos, a Greek god in a Russian game is totally inappropriate... ahahahah!!

[MasterfulKoT]

Kronos isn't a god.

Fag

[mrmalade]

the aspect ratio is wrong causing evereything in the surrounding edges to warp horribly. look at the stairs they are miles away when he's walking down them

[verodrigues]

BIOSHOCK IS WAAAAY BETTER then Cryostasis, just because is made for ALL gpus. And I finish Cryostasis and beleave me, the game has a story VERY confusing! Cryostasis is only better then Bioshock because, caused me more fear. And that's all. Havok will be always better then PhysX.

[IamAdamWe]

wrong, and if you cant understand the storyline don't blame the game blame yourself. I understood the storyline easily and it now sits at the top of my list of best games ever. bioshock is good, but they are two completely different games. stop. talking. out. your. ass.

[Nuva007]

lol @ Havok. You mean that thing that no one uses?

[verodrigues]

Wolfenstein, Red Faction, Dead Space, F.E.A.R. 2, must I continue?...

[DaBurningLegion]

@Nuva007

same as verodrigues

if u don't know its in wolfenstein

you're an idiot

[0Francine0]

That's pretty obvious. All of what you said.

[cocolapinfr]

I found bioshock so boring....

The water in Cryostasis is unbelievable !

[Brashne01]

4:41 weird ass effect.

[van95122]

look so real

[triFeral]

PhysX has also been added to Champions Online.

For capes.

lol

[pennyshill]

Worst Comparison? WTF is wrong with you. Bioshock Actually gives you a sense of being in, around and under water. It uses the water as a character in the game to help progression and story. IT WORKS. This is a B grade tech demo at best.

[pennyshill]

i dont care that its animated. bioshock looks better. thats the whole point dipshit. story telling not physics

[DeadPixel00]

OK, maybe the water isn't the best, but it's certainly fucking better than BioShock.

Jesus Christ, worst comparison.

[Nightowl358]

Water looks like shit. Game cooked in development for years and the finished product is a disappointment.

[Dester1435]

The game itself was really nice and I did enjoy playing through it. But really the water right now is just displaying what we can actually do with the technology physx is developing.

[sakatis]

this game sucks ;p

[pennyshill]

whats with the water? doesn't look real in anyway. water doesn't sparkle like that. bioshock water looks heaps better

[santiainen]

bioshock water=Animated

[moasto02]

i find it ironic that the water looks like static because its dynamic. haha. i crack myself up.

[nicaw]

And water, wow! I bet Nvidia GPU is so busy calculating those physics it can't draw a decent water anymore.

[TOMUGUENRISU]

inorite?

Honestly, the PhysX is as close to realism as comic game. I do like the water reflection.

[nicaw]

Look @2:45 axe bouncing on the left. Very realistic :D

[babyturtlex]

it was electrified

[Chronobeanz]

I think thats just the marker for something that you can pick up.

[WINxTEC]

@nicaw

Lol. But this is one of those 1st steps from Developers to see real Physics.

This is just the steps from a Baby xD.

[ninjaseven]

ugh i love this game and all but the lack of multi core support really is a downer. i wish the devs took more time to optimise this game. it still is an impressive piece of work though

[Slip92KoRn]

All in All its really Amazing the Graphics =)

[TanJianWei92]

the puddle of water not bad , but the water dripping down look weird

[thissnowtastfunny]

ya it's to transparent

[duke140815]

water looks verry unreal

[gifoi]

Yeah the water does look fake, but you also got to remember this is still in its early stages of development, the technology itself is pretty hardcore :) remember what game graphics were just 10 years ago?

[jakejanne]

I was wondering can you download PhysX and use it on other games? Is it possible? Would it only work with Nvidia graphic cards or with others too like ATI?

[fatimmortal]

It'll only work with certain graphics cards AND certain games like Cryostasis and Mirror's Edge.

[jakejanne]

Interesting. They should develope a game like crysis or red faction guerilla which is dedicated to the PhysX engine. :)

[zulugo]

water = oil? lol........ fail!

[dubmywub]

more like mercury

[fuzzywinkle8310]

wow.. your dumb.

it looks more real than it used to look. but all u can do is talk shit about how dumb it looks good one

[mapaqpchelp]

i run this game  on a q9650

play supper

[dingumfCallofDuty]

hey I'm planning on having my next build a vidia build.

For the card that's just for PhysX, what lane should it be in? Will PCI X1 work?

[OredhotchilipeppersO]

gtfo stupid

[ProfessorSmirnoff]

negatron you will need a PCI 16 mobo and a 100 or 200 series nvidia card to take full advantage of the physx and have the best performace.

[dingumfCallofDuty]

So I need 2 x16 lanes?

I don't think so.

I'm asking what what speed does the SEPARATE PhysX card need.

X1, x8 or full x16?

[ProfessorSmirnoff]

Physx cards take x16, though you might have trouble finding a separate Physx card because they are no longer produced, the best choice would be to get a new Nvidia card with a PhysX GPU built in, for one it has a higher clock speed than the separate PhysX cards and it is better supported via patches, you have to upgrade to PCI x16 for it anyways so you might as well get the Nvidia 260 or something comparable.

[AdrianAndHisAfro]

Well actually... New Nvidia cards have PhysX built in... I think its 8800 and up.

[dingumfCallofDuty]

Not like I could get a main GTX 280 and have a separate 8800GT JUST FOR PhysX.

That way, it can take off the load of PhysX leaving my GTX 280 for the hardcore stuff.

What slot does JUST FOR PhysX card require?

[AdrianAndHisAfro]

Not an 8800 GT, a 9800 GT. And yes people do get 9800 GTs dedicated to PhysX

[fatimmortal]

Actually, even if you can have different cards, they'll run at the speed of the weaker card.

Not only that, Physx will just run on one of the cards while all the graphics rendering will be done on all the cards present.

[emperorpenguinsrule]

dingumfCallofDuty:

I do believe PhysX cards are just PCI.

[ki11joy92]

ummmm no?

a 8800gt is pci-e

[dingumfCallofDuty]

Thank you. Now I can save some money on my next build by buying a mobo without SLI.

[fatimmortal]

It's actually for 8 series and up, and as long as it has at least 32 cores and 256mb of memory.

[ki11joy92]

fail.

[chicagochris1988]

Runs pretty good on my machine with 9800GTX+ in 3 way SLI and an 8800GTS 640MB for physx on an MSI P6n 680i SLI board

[conorholt]

my computer has:

intel core 2 quad q9400 2.66ghz

4 GB ram

896mb nvidia geforce GTX 260

will this game lag for me?

[bigdima3]

it says physx ,, ull need another nvidia GPU starting from 8800 series etc and a free pci e slot for it

[MrThielBeats]

jeez my gpu cant even handle watching this video in hd.

[ThePartyMan]

The problem is that the game designers only made it to use ONE core...

ONE CORE?!?!?

My PC has 4, which means the other 3 would just be sitting there doing nothing. Its too much for a GPU and not enough for a CPU.

[PcGamer4ever1]

due to too much physx usage this game is lagy but i think latest drivers can fix this to some extend .

[spazmonkey1000]

I just tried the demo of this, my system meets the requirments, Quad Core 2.4ghz, 4GB 800mhz RAM, nVidia 8800GTS 320mb, and i had to put it ALL on low with shader model 2.0 @1280x1024, and it STILL lagged and was unplayable, good thing i didn't buy it.

[primusman117]

yea, i have a quad core oc'd to 3.5ghz, 40GB Ram oc'd to 1000mhz, and a 9800gtx overclocked and this game lags a little when i put everything on max

[spazmonkey1000]

you have 40GB of ram? i doubt that :p

[games2007]

Normal cases now just support up to 24GB of RAM...

And why would you have 40GB of DDR2 RAM?

I think primusman117 has 4GB of RAM xD

[primusman117]

lol, I meant 4gb

[Akolyte01]

Jeez. You do need to get faster RAM though.

[HumanOFtheWeek3000]

im getting that exact system soon, but with a 9800gt

[van95122]

8800gts O.O

[spazmonkey1000]

Yeah man, i know its olldddd i need a new one, but cant upgrade atm :(

[ninjaseven]

i'm thinkin of putting in a cheap graphics card for just phyz-x would that run this game any better?

[tinymouse2]

Yes any game supporting physx will run much faster with a second graphics card to do all the physics calculations (as long as you have a good processor)

[Nemesa]

@ Calko240697,I guess from the Tech Demo which only worked on Vista. :) First demo from the game. Not the last playable one, just Tech Demo.

I am a fan of their games: Death to Spies or King´s Bounty The Legend, another good games from 1C. :)

And in Windows 7 Beta (I have not tested on RC yet), the games runs better. I got higher framerates with same hardware, from Vista to Windows 7. This games shines with:

dx 10 version and PhysX with hardware ;)

[Calko240697]

how do you get this benchmark????

[NGT2O6]

its a mix between bioshock/penumbra this game.

[Darkinsigniosis]

There are problems running Cryostasis on even high end rigs, something to do with no support for dual processors or something. A patch would fix everything up. I hope the game sells well enough to merit one.

[myg0tpurepunk]

all games patch if its just came out

[GameReviewsPC]

Yeah this game looks alot better. I think this is on LOW. Cause I did the benchmark and it looks WAY better.

[Res0lut1on]

reminds me of bioshock

[TerminalFrost]

I've heard that the game isn't very well written, that even rigs that can handle Crysis have problems with the game in LOW settings. Can anyone help?

[TandylionRobby]

I thought the story was quite good (finished the game), and the way it actually tells the story is just as good, and regarding the performance, my system can run it on max and I can't run Crysis nearly as well.

[LiamPearlDrumsInsane]

does water uses this physics without using physX? cause i got a 4870 and therefore no physX

[TandylionRobby]

I have a 4870 and as I said before, I run the game fine, everything max; but the PhysX will run off CPU if you don't have an Nvidia card, so it depends on your CPU really.

[LiamPearlDrumsInsane]

thanks you were of great help :)

[Sniffy92]

well it certainly happened to my friend.

he has a geforce 8800gts and its extremely choppy at lowest settings. like 2-5 fps all the time, and the graphics look so simple on low, i cant understand why the performance is so bad

[myg0tpurepunk]

8800gtx is rather low end nowadays

[NinjahuaV2p1]

now it isnt.. tell me a game that needs more than a 8800GTX ... dont say crysis...

[TandylionRobby]

Cryostasis. ;D

[NinjahuaV2p1]

yeah TRUE!!! but thats because the engine is badly made... and anyways i can max it out on a 8800gT :D

[Sniffy92]

a bit, but the graphics in cryostasis dont look like a 8800 would have 5 frames per second on it.. its just the water and ice physics that are choking the cpu.

[ts0ts0s]

dont think so :) im using Core 2 quad 9400//4gb Kingston ddr2 800mhz//Asus 8800GTX//Vista ultimate 64bit..and i can max out every game and play at25FPS and above..with the proper specs 8800GTX is the best graphics card..2006 model and still one of the best..

[DTM364]

update drivers

[NGT2O6]

low end? are u mad? i can max this on 1 8800GT and with 2 it's awesome

[YoungTeufelhunden]

By the looks of it, you'd also need a good quad-core CPU and probably 2 GTX series cards to run it good.

[Reaper0]

Why does all the water in this either look like blobs of blue slime or shards of glass?

[Melohalo]

Running water partially freezes at -40 degrees celsius. The game takes place in the north pole, meaning it would be about -60 to -80 degrees celsius there. Therefore splashing water would form ice shards as it falls.

[Reaper0]

But if it's cold enough to freeze the running water, why isn't the standing water on the floor frozen aswell?

[gostrider93]

it's not supposed to look frozen. it's just bad quality

[holidayspecialoo]

At 2:49, the axe is jumping around

[lymecat]

Something must be wrong with his driver or something, it doesn't look anything like that on my pc. The water looks great on my comp.

[gigakoulis]

water looks like electrons moviing like crazy

[mrcss]

water looks like flickering dots

[t1337Dude]

that's what it is its thousands of tiny little dots that have physx and added a texture

[Uranos144]

This game is from Ukraina! Not from Russian...

[IFuckUBitch]

doesn't look like water at all...

[cezarmadness]

Nvidia physX Engine!

[Kanuuna]

I'm so getting this game when I get my new PC.

[greekgod41]

wow! where did you download this version? it looks so different from mine..it seems like an enhanced version with more freedom to do things like when you shot the barrel AFTER it fell in the water, in my version there is no second shot on the barrel, and the effects are way better than my version

[Decenium]

LOL axeman got owned :P

[Gogoguru2]

holy shit!! very good extreme physics, bravo!!

[MafiosoTR]

als ob ihr im spiel diese effekte euch reinziehen werdet

das ist nur ne presentation von physX engine

ich perfönlich brauche das nicht aber sieht geil aus :)

[madmarco245]

The detail and the physics are just insane! Personally, I think they should remove (or give an option to) the ammo count in the corner. Makes it a bit more of a game than an experience. I bet the specs will be off the walls though.

[RedSokol]

awesome b

[laidt0rest]

i cant get my tech demo to work. its just a black screen and if i ctrl alt del out. it says its not responding :(

[SeriousIlya]

wow HD is insane quality... now I can really see the game in detail. Looks amazing, way better than BioShock I think

Physics are nicely done. Can't wait when the game comes out

[kalesy12]

is already out. In Russia. if you want it is availbe at isohunt. but beware is in russian

[SeriousIlya]

I am Russian :)

But I live in Australia so might as well ... you know... download it ;)

[imgordonfreeman]

HD is sweet

[Drifta882]

still ify about the game....yea its nice... but so was farcry2 and that game want really that great at all but still nice.

[bigbossbigtime]

VERY nice graphics. But I do think that the water is a bit too blue.

[MrBoBoTom]

PhysX is pretty cool, shame more games don't use it.

[CryoBlake]

wow, great physics especially with the water. So gonna get this game!

[nosgoth5555]

AWESOMEEE.... i have a little question here... those physix are going to be avaliable for ati hardware with some kind of stream processing or is it gonna be exclusive or nvidia?

definitely getting this game :)

[linadragon]

PhysX could theoretically be written into the ATI drivers assuming they can figure out how to implement it properly though its more likely to stay Nvidia only for a good while... You can still buy Dedicated PhysX cards (they arnt as good as a gpu dedicated to it but they work quite nicely.... and pop that in to do the same stuff :)

[GooeySlime]

The actual game isn't as demanding as the demo anyhow, so you can play it with an ATI card all the same, so long as you disable hardware physics.

Of course, you'll get better frames with nvidia cards, but it's still playable with ATI.
