Radeon 5570 1 GB & Crysis, 2nd Level.

[Andrejino]

oh yeah...one more thing...u have 1GB DDR3+2GB virtual shared memory for win 7 or vista...is that enough? ;)

[mobius1aic]

@Andrejino 2 GB isn't virtual shared memory, it's just plain system memory, any video allocation for the system RAM is purely out of Win7's discretion for the OS itself. Vista and Win7 are known to allocated up to 2 GB of SRAM for the purpose of OS visual resources that otherwise are of no use to the video card. The GPU and VRAM only handles what it's being tasked with to render the general desktop hence why "128 MB required" is what you see as far as VRAM is concerned about running Aero.

[mobius1aic]

@mobius1aic As for general system RAM amount for Vista and Win7, 2 GB will work OK, but optimally you want 4 GB when it comes to gaming, though 8 GB isn't out of the question especially if you're into content creation.

[Andrejino]

@mobius1aic , honestly I test Crysis on XP where is no loaded hyper memory...almost 20fps was droped...and on windows 7 20fps was incrised.

So if u ask me...I will stick to this cards with hyper memory and play on windows 7 with better fps ;)

[Andrejino]

I buy VTX HD 5570 ver.2 1GB DDR3 (2GB Hyper Memory support for Windows 7 and vista) .

Very good graphic card for low price :)

[mobius1aic]

@Andrejino Hypermemory? I though AMD had finally and fortunately abandoned that scheme a while back since it's already pretty cheap to load cards up with DDR3 memory modules.

[jbennett8000]

I don't know how AMD managed to make such a good card for such a low price. Well done!

[portal23555]

i dont have crysis yet cause when i went fom vista 64bit to windows 7 64bit, i lost crysis. but i think it shouldnt lag

[portal23555]

use dx10 recommended. i have a 5570 and its amazing.

i have

intel core 2 quad 2.3 ghz

ati hd 5570 overclocked

8gb ddr2

windows 7 64bit

[MetaGamers2010]

Nice Video!

I have almost the exact same PC.

AMD Athlon x4 635 2.9 ghz

4gb DDR3 memory

Radeon 5570 1gb DDR3 Silent

At what FPS can I run Crysis at? Crysis 2?

[mobius1aic]

@MetaGamers2010

I sold this computer a couple months ago (it was upgraded beyond the 5570 after this video was made though), but IIRC it could do about 25 FPS average with Crysis on high. I wouldn't know how it would do on Crysis 2, as it's a bit more demanding on the minimum specs, but lower on recommended specs. I would imagine the 5570 would do okay at the "high setting".

[Sasch1994]

@MetaGamers2010 You can play Crysis 2 on Hardcore. ;)

I have a Intel Core i7 E-990 3,96 GHZ

16 GB DDR3 Memory

Radeon HD 5570 1 GB DDR-3

And I have ~80 FPS.

With my Intel Dual-Core E5200 ~ 2,5 GHZ

3 GB DDR3 Memory

ATI Radeon HD 5570 1 GB DDR3

You have ~ 40 - 45 FPS.

Yes. You can play Crysis 2 on Hardcore. ;)))

[Gamet00b]

@MetaGamers2010 crysis 2 runs fine put it on low (thats high in the game lolz) and try diffrent rezs supprisinly crysis 2 is more opotimised =)

[fresca9990211]

Im getting a PC with this graphics card and holy crap this is gonna be fun!

[mobius1aic]

@fresca9990211 It's not the absolute best graphics card but it can afford you a very good PC gaming experience never the less (much better than the 360 lol).

[fresca9990211]

@mobius1aic B-b-b-but I own a 360 :(

[mobius1aic]

@fresca9990211 Death to the 360 >:D

[fresca9990211]

@mobius1aic Personal Prefrence... -_-

[mobius1aic]

@fresca9990211 Final solution >:D

[fresca9990211]

@mobius1aic It's simple we kill the Bill Gates.

[mobius1aic]

@fresca9990211 And destroy MS, Sony, and Nintendo. PC gaming will survive on Linux and OpenGL.

[fresca9990211]

@mobius1aic Meh Im fine with that idc it's just a piece of plastic =\

[TheMemorySense]

I have a hd5570 2gb (jaguar) and i run this at around 1400x900 on a 26" monitor. It does surprisingly well, but I do notice if I play in windowed mode it drastically changes the fps and lag, but who wants to play in windowed mode? This card is fantastic in my opinon, its like the stealthiest mofo and it can run high end games fairly well. I tried 1920x1200 on this game...and...not so good heh, but what do you expect?

[Bonna96]

i see a little bit of lag, but is it because of fraps or something?

[mobius1aic]

@Bonna96 FRAPS has the capacity to create alot of lag, I think it's very much an issue attributed to the need of FRAPS probably having to access the framebuffer to make a copy of each frame for the recording, which would be very memory bandwidth heavy I would assume. Some games suffer very badly, some other are hardly effected at all. Crysis, like most games tend to lose 20% (or even more) of the FPS.

[Bonna96]

@mobius1aic ok, but what my point was: can i play crysis whit no lag at rhis graphicscard`?

[mobius1aic]

@Bonna96 At high settings, yes.

[terry3218]

Amd Phenom X6@3.2 ghz

5570 dd3 1gb card

4gb ram

will be able to run all games super smooth???

[TeaBoneXD]

what do u mean ( No AA ) whats AA stand 4?

[mobius1aic]

@TeaBoneXD Anti-aliasing.

[GTASADriftRacer]

I can run Crysis with your Graphics Card on High with some various Ultra High and the Natural Mod, But there is a little lag >.<

[ViennaMoose]

@xxxthegamersxxx It could be your RAM. Get a new mobo and faster RAM.

[ghenmokai]

the palm trees are evil

[mobius1aic]

@xFpsPwnagex At 720p, it should be pretty smooth at medium settings.

[doggod106]

i have the same card with crysis maxed out dx10 and i have much better performance i also have 6gb of ram and a dual core

[mobius1aic]

@xxxthegamersxxx Run the game in DX9 and see if it improves anything. Your CPU could also be limiting performance, though generally Crysis does pretty well with dual cores.

[manoragas]

Hey, do you recommend AMD Athlon || x4 640 ? Is it good ? Or go for phenom || x2 560 black editon ? (it doesn't overclock to 4 cores now)

[mobius1aic]

@manoragas I would go with the Athlon II x4. The L3 cache on the Phenom II x2 isn't worth sacrificing two full cores for.

[Shotec1]

Thanks for this video!

[littlebigalex]

It can't possibly run this smoothly on maxed out settings, what are ur specs?

[mobius1aic]

@littlebigalex It's all high settings in DX9 mode. System specs are an Athlon II x4 2.8 GHz, 2 GB DDR3-1333, Win7 32 bit and of course the Radeon 5570 1 GB.

[mobius1aic]

@Smiggledorf9

Well the game is GPU dependent.  Your 8 GB and i7 are overkill. For a low end GPU running the game in high settings at 720p, it does so very well.

[GunnaLeeeeeee]

1280 x 1024..no AA...maybe medium settings...think it'd be playable with this card? 30+?

[mobius1aic]

@GunnaLeeeeeee You should be fine, especially at medium settings.

[Killerman2464]

resolution ?

[mobius1aic]

@Killerman2464 1280 x 720

[imadous5]

nice vid , thank you :D ,

[GunnaLeeeeeee]

Not bad my friend. 20+ w/ Fraps ain't nothin' to shake ur dick at! lol

[mobius1aic]

@GunnaLeeeeeee It's a good GPU, just held back by low memory bandwidth. The 5670 is more or less the "real deal" version since it's GDDR5 equipped, much higher clocked. However the 5570 is so far the best low profile 5xxx series Radeon. MSI does have a low profile 5670 on the way, as well as Powercolor 5750, but so far they have yet to be available for retail, probably not until mid to late September. I changed my case to one that can accept a full size graphics card, so I need not worry.

[XboxKittyProductions]

If I get Crysis 2 for Xbox 360 or for this card. A dude recommended me to get it on the Xbox 360. Should I?!

[mobius1aic]

@XboxKittyProductions I'd still get it on PC. 

[XboxKittyProductions]

@mobius1aic

will it look better than 360? I have the same graphics card as you.

[mobius1aic]

@XboxKittyProductions It should. Memory size tends to hold the 360 and PS3 back by a fair amount. Also the GPU in the 5570 is quite a bit more powerful than what the 360 has, about twice as much.

[XboxKittyProductions]

Should I buy Crysis 1 for the PC (with the HD 5570) or wait for Crysis 2 for the PC (HD 5570).

[mobius1aic]

@XboxKittyProductions The first one is a great game, so I'd get it.

[jollytorax]

I've ordered this card, but the XFX 1GB DDR2 version instead of DDR3, will it make a big difference if I want to play Crysis with the same settings as you?

[mobius1aic]

@jollytorax It probably will. DDR2 is slower in speed than DDR3, which effects memory bandwidth and therefore performance. You should be able to pull off medium settings, or I at least imagine........

[jollytorax]

@mobius1aic That's what I thought :/

[123ilikecheese456]

how much fps do you get without fraps

[mobius1aic]

@123ilikecheese456 It's typically in the 25-30 FPS range.

[mobius1aic]

@Mossman8124 It's a good buy for it's price range. And certainly worth it for a low profile system.
