Crysis Warhead - Call me Ishmael gameplay (8xAA) on Core i7 920 @ 4,1GHz and 4870 X2

[lewisgunner1]

why is my name in ur title

[arvutihull]

@lewisgunner1 - What is your name?

[lewisgunner1]

Ismael

[arvutihull]

@lewisgunner1 - There is Ishmael, not Ismael.

[lewisgunner1]

its the same my name is written diffrently in diffrent launges in latin its Ismael and in israel its Ishmael

[arvutihull]

@lewisgunner1 - Ok, anyways it's there because this is a gameplay video of a PC game Crysis Warhead to show how it runs on i7 920 CPU at 4.1GHz and 4870 X2 graphics card, there is a level called ''Call me Ishmael'' in this game.

[lewisgunner1]

well yea i just tiped my name and your video came up so i thought why not see what it is the title is a famous line that a famous whale hunter said he said call me ishmael its from a book called moby dick

[RARG82]

Is it XP vista or windows seven?

[arvutihull]

@RARG82 - I used Vista back then I think.

[RARG82]

Hey man, Whats you O.S.? 32 or 64 bit?

[arvutihull]

@RARG82 - 64bit.

[aero1242]

and your PC price is ?

[arvutihull]

@aero1242 - Check my Channel FAQ for an answer.

[dng183]

hey man i have 1 Q: then have dual guns, you control them with 2 mouse buttons yeah?

[arvutihull]

@dng183 - Yes.

[SuperHiphop360]

I have same screen. But why dont you just record only your game itself without a camera using a screen recorder? -,-

[arvutihull]

@SuperHiphop360 - Check my channel for FAQ.

[majorhavoxg1]

Ai tends to be stupid and slow. By the looks of cryengine 3's new cover system, the ai finally has something to do instead of standing stupid.

[pikeman383]

i have these components in my computer :

powercolor radeon 1gb 4870 gddr5

2 gb 800 mhz ram

amd athlon x2 5000+ 2.6ghz

and an ace raw deal 520W psu

i get 20-25 fps on gamer setting at no AA and 1680 res

what is wrong.

oh and my mobo is pcie 1.1 or 1.0 i dunno but it shoulden´t be that low fps

[arvutihull]

You have your GPU bottlenecked so getting a faster CPU or overclocking your current one would improve FPS.

[KortTjock]

@pikeman383

I wouldn't play at 1680 if I were you. 1024x768 will sligthly raise you FPS and doesn't look too bad.

[hardnut12]

how do i overclock .. and what does it do ??

[arvutihull]

You overclock in BIOS. It increases the performance of the CPU.

[xxrogi69]

shit video

[arvutihull]

Well yes, it is a shit video for kids like you. But it's a very interesting and important video for someone who wants to know how well these components can run Crysis Warhead.

[xxrogi69]

why 30 fps you must get better fps

[arvutihull]

Legally blind? I get more than 30FPS most of the time, with newest drivers about 2-3FPS even more.

[SoloNecroMackan]

wtf, I get like 30 fps and I got only one 4870??? how come?

[arvutihull]

Crossfire doesn't scale 100% in Crysis Warhead.

[SoloNecroMackan]

okey, thx for telling me because I was about to buy another 4870 but now I know it wont be much of a difference. I will probably w8 for the dx11 cards in september

[victor555117]

how can u get like 30 fps in warhead? i got the 4870 and i got 20-30fps most the time its like 20 fps... :(

[nvideabelgium]

sorry that im talking to mutch but ..... :p,

at what i need to set the voltage when im at 3.2 ghz ? ( and can i still play gtta 4 or crysis without the CPU goes to hot (stock cooler),and i see some people also OC there DDR3 is it necesarry ?

thanx you verry mutch

[arvutihull]

DRAM overclocking isn't necessary, you can do it if you like to... (overclocking it manually is necessary if you're doing some extreme OC...). Voltage for 3,2GHz depends on the stepping (D0 or C0).

[nvideabelgium]

ok your sure 3.2 ghz with a stock cooler caus i dont want my processor to overhit :p, 3.1 or 3.0 ghz will be enough also actually , greetings

[arvutihull]

Yes, 3,2GHz with stock voltage is completely safe.

[nvideabelgium]

ok but i dont know mutch about overclocking a CPU caus its in bios, you can say it basicly or do you cangive a link or something ? at 3.2 ghz with stock voltage , so i need to be my voltage standart also ?

[arvutihull]

For 3,2Ghz just go to the BIOS and set 160 as a BCLK frequency (stock is 133)... it's the easiest way to overclock.

[nvideabelgium]

ok ty but i gonna do it slowly by slowly , so evrytime like 100 mhz more or something i dont want it to be broken xD

[nvideabelgium]

ok 1 more question , how you do you think i can overclock the I7 920 with a standart cooler thant comes with the cpu , and other wise with a noctua cooler ?

[arvutihull]

At least 3,2Ghz is possible with stock cooler, with Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 at least 3,8GHz and 1.3V. Depends on what stepping you have (D0 or C0)...

[nvideabelgium]

ok ,thanx but i guess a 4890 and a i7 there will be no bottlenecking eh ?

and maybe when its necesarry i overclock it with a noctua cooler.

already thanx for information =)

[arvutihull]

For GTA 4 you may need to overclock it if you want the best performance, because it's a very CPU based game

[nvideabelgium]

but mine I7 920 is 2.66 ghz i know amd processors of 3.0 ghz at the same price why is the I7 bether then ?

[arvutihull]

i7 is a lot better in multitasking because it has 8 threads, also it's faster at 2,66GHz than Phenom 2 at 3GHz. But in games the difference isn't very big as long as the GPU is not bottlenecked by CPU.

[nvideabelgium]

well im planning to buy this

intel core i7 920 (2.66ghz), why you have 4.1 ghz ? )

ATI 4890

6 DRR3 1333mhz

1TB

....

do you think i will run crysis good and gta 4 ?

[arvutihull]

Yes, it definately will run Crysis and GTA 4 at maximum settings (Crysis not very smooth, but playable). I had 4,1GHz basically because I wanted to write it into the title =)

3,6GHz is actually enough to not bottleneck the 4870 X2.

[nvideabelgium]

hello , i have a question i dont know verry well what to buy a 4870 or a gtx 285 what should i buy ? ,btw with what nvidea card you can put the ati card in the nvidea series ?

greetings

[arvutihull]

Hey, 4870 or GTX 285? GTX 285 is a lot faster and overclockable of course, it's more comparable with 4870 X2 :-)

[oblivionjosh]

i realy need help my gpu is a 4870 X2 the rest of my specs are on my profile

anyway i used to get 35-45 fps avarage in crysis warhead. but i hadnt played the game in a while then one day i started playing it again and my fps is like 20-25 will never go above 30 it like the frame rate is stuck when i look at the ground/sky i used to get 60 now i get 30 it bnothing to do with my catalyst setting coz there fine. plz help anyone!!!

[arvutihull]

Sounds strange... have you tried reinstalling the game and graphics drivers?

[oblivionjosh]

yeah

[arvutihull]

And does everything else run as it should be?

[amdintelxsniperx]

edit course seeing a disabled enabled not to mucha hit :d pretty tight machine mate indeed

[amdintelxsniperx]

crysis is not coded for ati so it will not run as fast as it will using nvidia

[NewFreshHipHop]

i get between 30 and 35 fps with the same settings

by pgu is a gt275

and my cpu amd II phenom x4 @ 3,0

[exenter2]

you are only getting 30-45 fps with that computer?

[arvutihull]

FPS is running on the right down corner, you should be able to see what FPS I'm getting.

[naryanr]

what do you mean only ? that's seriously good considering it's a 920 (OC so only the clock speed is incresed) and not to mention it's only one 4870x2 and ATI cards aren't even optimised for crysis like nVidia cards AND the settings are maxed (apart from AA).

[exenter2]

Well. My PC is much worse (most of the components are from 2004-2005). And I'm getting around 30 fps with the same settings and resolution. The same goes for Bioshock.

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 3500+

GPU: ATI HD 3850 AGP

[arvutihull]

Well, you are NOT getting 30 FPS even maximum with exactly the same settings as me.

[exenter2]

Of course I have huge framedrops when there is extreme firefights and when a lot of things is going on. It can drop to 5 fps! But other than that, it is stable at 30-35 fps. Like running in the jungle with no enemy characters on screen. Maximum FPS is 45.

I have seen people getting 40-60 fps with almost the same spec as your computer at even higher res!

[arvutihull]

I won't believe you before I haven't seen a video about that.

[naryanr]

i'd like to see that vid

[amdintelxsniperx]

cant be mate my dual 2 gtx 260s get bogged in crysis and i have a phenom 955 at 4.1GHz

i geta round the same a lil better fps as him that agp 3850 will only squeak by in crysis unless you are using med or low setting not to mention that crysis really dosnt like ati cards

[blizzyXXX]

PS. I have HT On, and max temps at Prime95 are something like 75C.

[blizzyXXX]

I can run Warhead @ Enthusiast 1680x1050 8xAA with 35-60Fps (V-Sync On).

My computer has Core i7 920 D0 @ 4,3Ghz @ 1.4V (Water cooling), 3Gb 1229Mhz 7-7-7-18, GTX295 @ 633/2222/1366, 1750Gb HDD (250Gb for system, 1500Gb for Data and games).

[arvutihull]

Sweet machine!

[Savotage95]

Man,that is a nice PC you have mate,nice!

[arvutihull]

Thank you!

[slashbullet]

damn ... what a monster pc! mine sucks running it , i only get 36 fps! :(

[arvutihull]

Q9000 should be better. I don't know much about laptop GPU's but you should ber able to play around 30FPS on 1440x900, very high and no AA.

[n0hhh]

If I were you I would buy a 1920x1200(1080) monitor m8. Your monster system could easily handle that, seriously.

[arvutihull]

Yes, I'm going to get a 1920x1200 monitor in near future...

[doctorbubble]

If anybodies interested, the config file is called "Cuban-Ultima-Doom-Arch-Assass­in47-Taowolf-Sword's Custom Crysis Configs [CCC] v2.21[~] TWEAKED BY DEVLIN1991" - google it - I highly recommend trying it out - happy gaming.

[arvutihull]

What does this config do? Better framerate?

[doctorbubble]

Yes I use different configs for both Warhead and the original Crysis, I use updated texture packages i.e., CVargroups. These configs have been tweaked to increase performance and improve textures, shadows etc etc. It took me a while to find the right config file to suit my system but once I did the framerate increased from 20 to 29-40 - sometimes it drops to 20-24 although very rare. But I highly recommend it especially since both games are not fully optimized.

[doctorbubble]

The only level I have problems with are the Ice levels in Warhead

[doctorbubble]

I can run this with my E5200 3.30Ghz , 4gb 1066mhz , 4850HD 512mb (OC )on my x48 ds4 MB. With a resolution of 1650 x 1050 nearly maxed out (with a altered config file) 24-40 Fps. But AA slows it down too much - I play without it on. My temps are 33 degree CPU and 4850 is 64 degree I have plently of case fans and exhaust fans. Just proves you don't need a super computer to run it, just a altered config file, believe me it does wonders.

[thierryvt]

i got my core i7 at 3.5 Ghz with standard voltages and it runs fine :)

[arvutihull]

Very nice! You must have gotten a very good chip if you can run this frequency with stock volts!

[thierryvt]

i've got the core i7 920 on a p6t deluxe v2. powered by a corsair 850 watt psu ^^

i was kinda surprised myself that it booted up on 3.5 Ghz on 1.2 volts :P

[arvutihull]

Awesome, you should be able to run like 4,4GHz with that voltage that I'm using for 4,1 :-)

[thierryvt]

meh i'm happy with 3.5. runs nice and cool under the coolermaster V8. i don't need more :)

30 on idle and 45-50 °C on full load what are your temps at full oc?

[arvutihull]

At 4,1GHz and full load (Prime95 30 minutes) I'm getting maximum of around 92C with 23C room temp, With 18C room temp I got a lot better temps (10C better). Your temps are so good because you're running it at stock voltage (1.2). Also CM V8 is a very good CPU cooler!

[thierryvt]

those are indeed some pretty high temps. guess i'll leave my cpu as it is. :) nice rig btw ^^

[arvutihull]

Thanks!

[MasterSgt80]

I heard this one was more tolerable than the first in hardware requirements, even so you have a beast rig.

[arvutihull]

Yes it's running about 2FPS better for me than the first Crysis. Thanks!

[Shorty20122012]

Where's your fraps at? What's your fps? and wat res are you playing at?

[arvutihull]

Oh my god... have you even watched the video?? You can see my FPS on right down corner and I'm running at 1680x1050...

[stevenlys]

1.44 is high , my can Clock till 4.2 with ht off but turbo on. Vcore 1.36 prime 24 hours no problem.

[arvutihull]

I have HT on, and 1.44V is needed on my chip to boot with 4137MHz. You may have a better chip too.

[ninjaseven]

lol insane computer man

how many volts is your CPU at?

[arvutihull]

Thank you! I ran it on 1.44V.

[ninjaseven]

lol i just saw that in the description just now XDD but thanks for the info, thats a little bit too extreme of a voltage for me cuz i don't wanna fry my computer! D= i've heard the max safest to have the volts at is 1.3 ish or so but thanks for the info anyway! just doin some research

[arvutihull]

Yes, I'm running it at 3,78GHz and 1.32V for everyday use... for benching running at 1.44V is fine.

[gagagege12121313]

Ehm,your computer is shit...My 8800GT 512MB 1680x1050 with AAx4 have 25-45FPS...You have small FPS in this game sorry but you must buy new processors...

[arvutihull]

lol!

[ninjaseven]

his computer is actually total overkill with everything the reason you get 45 fps is because crysis was optimized for nvidia card,s also, he has on 8x AA if he turned that down to probably 2x or even none, he would probably get much more FPS because AA is an fps killer for most cards

[singularity3]

The main reason why games usually work better on nvidia gpu's is because their documentation and support for developers is so much better.

[Shorty20122012]

do you know this first hand that Nvidia is better than ati which there gpus? What cards have you compared?

Well I've only owned Nvidia so don't say im a fan boy or something, just wanted to kno if you had any backbone to what you're saying for personal future reference

[singularity3]

They have a lot of documentation on their website designed to help developers get the most out of their hardware. In comparison ATI's developer's support is somewhat less significant. Go to the developer sections of both ATI and nvidia's websites.

[arvutihull]

nice

[keldererik]

Cool, did you disable hyperthreading? it's not doing any good in games :( I disabled mine and run 3800mhz on stock heatsink with 1.24v :D 5/5 for the vid ^^

[arvutihull]

I had hyperthreading enabled... in Warhead it's not making any difference... only graphics-based application where it makes difference is 3DMark Vantage. Games currently can't use 8 threads...

Thanks!

[Kaarel25]

Nice vid 5/5

Jookseb ikka sitax hästi :)

[arvutihull]

Tänud! :-)

[arvutihull]

Nice! In Crysis I somehow get better FPS than in Warhead...

[iRanotherguy]

why is it you people with the amazing pcs never use fraps. i know it takes a hit on your frames but i want to see its quality on max.

[arvutihull]

The point of this video is to show what FPS I get with my hardware, not to show you how nice the graphics look like... most people who have modern PC's can max out the graphics and enjoy the awesome detail and shaders... they'll get about 2-5FPS average, but they can do it.

[iRanotherguy]

well would you mind doing one with fraps. youtube is about the vids you know.

[arvutihull]

no i won't make a video with fraps... i'm going to get a 720p camcorder soon...

[iRanotherguy]

alright. that should look near as good.

[ALBPKE]

Great video 5/5

[arvutihull]

Thanks!

[joshua12345676]

how much cache does your dvd drive has

[arvutihull]

2MB's I think, not sure...

[KooolaNL]

hey i'd ttry this on mine and post a vid response k ? :P

[arvutihull]

of course! :-)

[Hendrik990]

Hea video (Y)

Sul oleks jh uut kaamerat vaja.

[arvutihull]

Tänud, vaata HQ-s, siis peaks natuke parem pilt olema. Youtubes on pilt veel halvem kui videot vaadates...

[Hendrik990]

Vaatasingi HQ-s ;)

[nxji]

People still play this game?

[arvutihull]

Yes, there are pretty much people playing Crysis Wars.

[jakass505]

great vid, what camera do you use to record ?

[arvutihull]

Thanks, I ues Canon PowerShot A710 IS... i need to get a new one.

[Kaarel25]

Selles on sul küll päris õigus... :P

[Rune101rune]

anything over 4x isn't necessary lol. still nice video rapes my rig

[arvutihull]

lol yes, thanks!
