Crysis 1680x1050 High HD4870

[bjkfanboy96]

ive got the 6850 and i play crysis max resolution 8x AA and all grpahics high or enthusiast

[blessthefall4535]

will my 27 inch imac with a quad core and 16 gigs of ram run this like cheese?

how much is the game?

[willhub]

@blessthefall4535 What GPU has it got?

[tehrealkamikaziii]

can you tell me the clock speed it is running and the memory clock??? :)

[Ritly13]

15 frames max.

Lol, Just kidding, it will kick Crysis ass around and kick it again.

[JelluhBB]

How would this work on Crysis

Processor:AMD Phenom II X4 945

Memory: Corsair XMS3 DRAM 6 GB PC3-12800

Graphicscard: Two Sapphire RADEON HD 4850 X2

?

[anthem840]

great computer

[avril4ewa]

it would run smooth on very high settings =)

[DaUltimateKilla]

it would run very good ;)

[GamingDude12]

jelluhbb if you knew it would be fucking obvious that it will u fucking dum shit. stop asking dum ass fucking questions like " will ti run on this" u fucking bitch. ur a fucking anooying bitch and so is anyone who asks that shit u fucking little ass kids. your not going to purchase this so why anooy us and ask ehh? fucking noob bitch

[JelluhBB]

Nah im not getting this :)

i got a gtx 295 and a i7 now,

and i ask this questions because, i wanted to buy a new pc and im trying to see if there were any things that could be better .

Btw, why constant bitch bitch bitch?

[mamaloney1]

wont run. you should throw that heap of junk in the trash.

[Mommezeni]

Is my computer good for games ?

Intel Dual Core 2 Quad 2,88 Ghz Q9550

HIS Radeon HD4870 1 gb IceQ turbo

4092 MB RAM

650 W Netagg

Good ??

[willhub]

Unfortunately it will struggle, the cpu is not fast enough and your GPU is too old, you need 8GB ram too.

[Mommezeni]

why is it not fast . I have Intel Core 2 Quad 2,88 ghz Q9550 . it's the best.

Noo my gpu is not old your idiot , It's new. Maybe 5 months old.

[willhub]

Your system is better than mine, I just thought your question was a little stupid and that tbh you should have known your system was up to playing games, sort of stating the obvious really.

[Mommezeni]

Ahhh okeej srry ;)

[Mommezeni]

hahaha 8 gb ram , Why 8 ? You are stupid , You dont need 8 gb it's idioty. You can run games with 1 gb ram. 2 gb ram is normal , 4 gb is perfect.

8 gb is totally stupid.

[mamaloney1]

you are asking us if you can run it and then you call US stupid. do the world a favor and kill yourself.

[Mommezeni]

Yes its true , you gov can kiss my ass. Its have nothing to do with games so go and fuckyourself

fuck obama and fuck you your fucking bastard

[mamaloney1]

k. so you are getting all there parts and you cant even find out if it can play a game.

you must be a fucking genius.

[ikill4money2]

@willhub i run crsysis with ease gamer settings phenom 9650 3 gig ram palit 9600gt.

Mommezeni`s Gpu is not old you idiot.. the 4870 is a brilliant gpu..

[willhub]

@ikill4money2 Have you being living under a rock? The 4870 is an old GPU, it was released all the way back in 2008......... The 4870 plays most games, but I've switched to a GTX260 which easily plays Crysis better than a 4870 and is faster for most games too. As for replying to my comment, you should read the others before posting things..

[zorikal1]

Do you think i can run crysis whit 1650 x 1024 all on very high whit a powercolor HD4870 1GB PCS+?

[mamaloney1]

no.

[jrockpunk1]

no I mean the actual speed. Like how fast the camera moves, not how smooth.

[jrockpunk1]

how do you get it to go so fast? My benchmark went at like half the speed of that.

[zorikal1]

I've got Powercolor HD4870 1GB PCS+ and i only get like 20- 30 FPS

[xfirex91]

What do you type in the consloe to get your fps showen

[IAmDrunkAgain]

it's actually one of the best shooters.Not only for the graphics.The environment,the characters,the weapons,the suit.They all combine to make a wonderful sci fi shooter.Anyway...I have an Nvidia 9600 GT ,Quad Core Processor at 2.4 GHz and 4 GB of ram and it runs on highest graphics wih high fps...

[tsayad1986]

doesnt matter if you play crisys with 15 fps or with 100 fps its still a shitty shooter with a few funny gadgets and ok graphics. Ive played games with worse graphics which i enjoyed 100 times better

[willhub]

The graphics make it quite immersive, yea some games are better, like I found F.E.A.R and the old DOOM more enjoyable lol.

[AiiooD]

when i get my HD 4870 X2 i thinking of playing on high i mean i dont really care how good looking the game is i just want good FPS

[shirgit]

and btw why should i don't try gta 4? on my computer

[vlekkietwinnie]

because your processor is slow for this card you can get a E8400 (3.0GHz) for 100-200 dollars

[shirgit]

im not even try the game

[shirgit]

will this card work with my intel core 2 duo 2.13 ghz CPU

[willhub]

Course it will, it works with any cpu, it's not something you check that works with a GPU, you just have to make sure your motherboard suppoer PCI-E which it does and should be fine as long as it is PCI-E 1.1 or above, unsure if PCI-E 1.0 works.

Your CPU WILL be a bottleneck though, don't try playing GTA IV lol.

[apbrit2009]

1.0 works

any pci-e x16 slot works, but unless it's 2.0, the bandwidth is limited and the gpu won't perform as well

[safuenzo86]

i get 45 fps at 1920x1080(hdtv1080p),all very high setting,with 4x AA

here are my system specs

q6600@3.60ghz/fsb 1800(prime tested 25h 0 errors)

8gb pc-6400 hd4870(850/1100)

crysis its not big deal.try run gta4

[willhub]

Crysis should be more graphically demanding than GTA 4, GTA 4 is a crappy port that rapes CPU's.

[s4iko1337]

impossible that you have 45 fps avg. haha

not even if you overclocked your things...

[vlekkietwinnie]

completely right

[Edonkey]

Why? I get about 47 fps average... (hd4870 512 mb)

[s4iko1337]

wtf ?! safuenzo86 said: i get 45 fps at 1920x1080(hdtv1080p),all very high setting,with 4x AA

here are my system specs

q6600@3.60ghz/fsb 1800(prime tested 25h 0 errors)

8gb pc-6400 hd4870(850/1100)

how the hell is it possible to get so much fps ??? with these settings i get 17 fps o_O

[Edonkey]

Oh what the hell, I doubt that, since I get 31 fps average on very high with no AA. Go check out performance reviews and you'll see that it's near impossible to get 45 fps on very high with 4x AA

[happytimewhoa]

prob better cpu

[s4iko1337]

i get 37 fps avarage on 1680x1050 all on high no AA. isnt that a bit low fps for my system ? :(

sys:

Windows Vista Ultimate Service Pack 1 64-Bit

GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3 (Rev 2.1)

Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 G0 @ 3200 MHz

4x 1 GB Exceleram DDR2 Ram 800 MHz

Palit HD4870 1 GB Sonic Dual Edition in Turbo-Mode 775 mhz core and 4000 mhz vram (1000 mhz)

[vlekkietwinnie]

that is not bad I think

[unr3al2004]

48fps @ 830/1100 with E4300 @ 3.2Ghz (1680 HIGH Dx9)

[Thushan44]

do u have 2 4870?

[Jay12341235]

does it say crossfire on it? seriously dude. lol

[searay230]

does the frame rate drop if you se anti allian to 8x? becuase i have 2 hd4870 (crossfire), 8gb ram 1066Mhz, 3.0 ghz quad core and it still wont run "smooth" on (all) very high and 8x AA.

do you need 2x 4870x2?

[karl9562210]

AA is the biggest fps eater in this game!

Most GPUs cant handle 8xAA very well!

[NeoReloaded2k6]

What CPU and RAM you using dude?

[marcusdadog]

dam dude wat i wont do for your pc

[TKSnatch]

Thanks for doing that for me mate. See i think if AA is at X8 and all is on medium it all looks good, with good frame rate's too. I was just wondering if that is possible with that card.

[Cybermav]

needs aftermarket cooling, look at the accelero s1 and a 12cm fan.

[willhub]

No, it needs 2x 92cm fans and I think YOU need aftermarket cooling.

[Cybermav]

n00b

[rcman22]

Too lazy to use real Os and used zeros, eh?

[rcman22]

The 4870 already runs extremely hot at stock clock speeds. How were you able to overclock?

[willhub]

raise the fan speed to 35%.

[rcman22]

what's the temperature of the 4870 now?

[willhub]

55 idle, about 70-80load, I know its not brilliant but its fine, I'm getting an Accelero S1 on it today (hopefully as long as I dont kill the card)

[willhub]

Also with 2xAA shaders are auto set to high.

[TKSnatch]

Please do me a favour, can you benchmark Crysis at 1200x1050 all on medium with 2x AA on your 4870. Thanks in advanced. I'm looking to upgrade and these are the specs I would be happy to play it at.

[willhub]

Dont you mean 1280x1024? I dont have 1200x1050.

[TKSnatch]

Yeah mate... Sorry 'bout that, it was early hours u know how it is. Yeah, if you could do that I'll very much appreciate it. Thanks mate.

[willhub]

Also why do you want medium? :s looks awfull.

[willhub]

Got 48fps average, 1680x1050 all high I get that without AA.

[Matinz0r]

the 4870x2 just came out :D

[DIRENGREY097]

what cpu are you running?i should get the same/better performance with my e8400 and 4870 and 2gb of ddr2-1066mhz,should i?

[willhub]

Proberbly should get the same, dont forget my 4870 is overclocked. And remember to use DX9.

[vinnykee]

Hey people can please someone tell me what exact specs will run crysis good with a HD4870 in it , because i was thinking of a q6600. and 4GB OCZ 1066mhz. please respond and tell me what exact specs will run crysis good:D

[LolChickenPie]

Get a better CPU man. Get the Q8200 (when it comes out) or the Q9450, but definitely not a 65nm CPU! But overall you should get around 40 fps

[willhub]

Nah man I've just got an Accelero S1 to cool this thing and a powerball, saving my money now I'm moving for college soon and need to be careful with my money, hopefully I'll get a job and upgrade the CPU/Mobo/Ram when Nahalem is out.

[dirtylarryuk]

Well is this the run from the benchmark on OCUK?

[willhub]

Nope just a run for a vid.

[dirtylarryuk]

I've hooked up a 1080p camcorder :)

For my next runs.

[djbazzmaster]

looool .. got the same card .. why do you get average of 40fps? .. and i get 30?

[willhub]

Dunno, my best in Vista was 48fps average same settings. Try overclocking? What CPU have you got?

[willhub]

I used DX9 also, DX10 is slightly slower.

[artem2922]

Well mister. Very high = directX 10.

So this is not real benchmark

[willhub]

Where did I say this Benchmark was done very high? Its ALL HIGH, not VERY HIGH.

Also almost every effect of DX10 Very High can be done in DX9 and I use CFG's for playing the game, not benchmarking that give better than very high quality or equal to very high.

[artem2922]

Oh and also what i see here is high not very high. Says mr spammer

[willhub]

Thanks for pointing out the obvious captain obvious, the reason it says high here is because it is high, what planet where you born on? Not earth thats for sure.

[artem2922]

Awshit. i thought it sad Very high not high! omfg im really sorry :O

[indianrenji86]

ive tried really hard to enjoy radeon products..they just havent worked well for me :(

im still not an nvidia fanboy though

[helldrell666]

Now with ATIs aloha gamma correction And ssga pixel technology adjusting (used by the latest sony HDLCDs) the ssga is inculed only in the new 4800 series.you can double your pixels up tp 24x and keep the pixel pitch under 26mm.

So, if you wonna go with the quality,get a radeon card.

[helldrell666]

With nvidias cs aa.you get 16 bits of color depth and one texture per pixel vs 32/64bits of color dpth and 4 textures per pixel in the ss and ad aa used y ATI.

And with aa eneabled an effective gamma correction is defenitely needed

gamma correction is a method that keeps the added pixels close to the original pixels that they are added to

Now nvidias gamma correction will mess your screen with over 4x aa enebled That means that youll get over 27 pitch between the added and the original pixels

[darkaim1928]

Nice vid man!!

Please upload one with all very high (or high if you dont like vista XD)at 1440x900 with 16xaf and 16xaa?...i know it's not gonna be playable..i just want to know what's the limit of this card..thnx!

[willhub]

There is a chance it will be playable at that res, but 16xAA I will give a try but it appears to default to 4xAA or 2xAA here and does with alot of other ATi people so may have to wait for new drivers.

[darkaim1928]

Thanks. Is there a really difference between 4xaa and 16xaa?

[willhub]

Yes, a large performance hit and stuff looks alot less jaggy, well slightly less jaggy.

[helldrell666]

Anti aliasing actually means: adding more pixels to your screen.

But the quality of those added pixels differs from one aa method to another.

The best aa technolgy availabe now is the super sample aa.Which is supported by the radeon 3000 and 4000 series.

Then comes the adaptive tent aa which is an ms aa with 32/64 bit of color depth for added pixels vs 16/32 bits of colors delivered with the added pixels.

Now nvidia use a very cheap anti aliasing technology which is the covergae scene aa.

[dirtylarryuk]

helldrell Aka radeonfighter aka robspierre aka darkcolumman your telling someone who close to having the world record for crysis runs what AA is you RETARD.

[saibarcafi]

e6400 2.13ghz (in gaming = with an amd athlon 64 x2 5200+ 2.7ghz) + HD4870 512mb DDR5 will be a good choice?

[saibarcafi]

cpu ? i want to buy an HD4870 but i am "skary" because my cpu is posible to leave in the dust the 4870 because is too bad cpu. Right?

[bloodduty]

i have the HD4870 and its silent and i can run crysis on very high no problem

[willhub]

1680x1050, Very high, DX10? Just open up crysis benchmark and put those settings in and run it and tell me what you get.

[bloodduty]

37.14 Average Fps at 1680x1050 Very High I don't bother overclocking or turning the fan up on the card ma case is a cooler master Cosmos S with the 200mm fan blowing on it and that's ok want it silent

Am well happy with ATI am well impressed now but the 3870 was a bit or a struggle this one wipps my old 8800GTSs in SLI

[bloodduty]

My Spec

Coolermaster RC-1100 Cosmos-S

Corsair HX 620W PSU

Asus P5E Intel X38 Motherboard

Intel Core 2 Quad Pro Q6600

Zalman CNPS9500-AT CPU Cooler

4 X GeIL 1GB PC2-6400 800MHz

ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB GDDR5

Samsung SpinPoint F1 750GB 32MB Cache

[darkaim1928]

What is a Quad core PRO?? PRO??

[dirtylarryuk]

Out of intrest how does this run at very high settings v high what is the FPS drop?

[willhub]

very high needs DX10 so its about 25-30fps.

[dirtylarryuk]

25-30 with a single card is still v good about the same as a £400 ultra from 7 months ago. 4870 is less than half the price! Have you set them up in XF and tested yet?

[willhub]

Nope only have one, depending on my finances when I start uni in manchester when I'm settled in I might consider 4870 crossfire but I feel it would be better getting a 4870X2 at that time but I'll proberbly opt for a Nvidia card again as I like try em all out really and the CCC really is a pile of crap at the moment complete with the fact my 4870 is ane xtreamly crap overclock, around 790-800/900/1100 max.

[dirtylarryuk]

Depends on x2 price.

For the money the 4870 is bloody amazing. For £170 you just can't knock it. instead of another card as you run at 1600 res why not get a raptor or SSD. overclockers uk have a 64 GB SSD for £200 now. SSD's are amazing for games where texture streaming comes into play like AOC or Crysis.

[helldrell666]

Get AMD tools.

[willhub]

No point, wont clock higher and be stable that what Overdrive clocks to so not much point for me, maybe after I vmod :p

[apuleyo]

If you plan to get Nvidia again, I suggest you try the new geforce 295, it runs better or equal than 4870X2 and is slightly cheaper.

[willhub]

In the UK the 4870X2 is the best choice as it is also better or equal to the GTX295, but is up to £100 or even more cheaper than the GTX295.

[s4iko1337]

the future games are PhysX. and nVidia has PhysX !!! you should buy a gtx 295. btw i'm not a nvidia fanboy i have an hd4870 ^^. if i would know that before i would buy a gtx 260...

[helldrell666]

Go to bsan89 and watch him benching his 280gtx (20% overclocked)over the stock clocks.

he gets 24 average fps at very high settings.

The 4870 is 35% faster than the 8800ultra.

[hardcoregamer847A]

dude awesome vid can u tell me the other specs of your PC since i m building mine as well. Is config OK to run at your settings?

Intel Core 2 Duo E8400(Stock Clocked),

Asus P5K Motherboard,

4 GB of Corsair XMS Xtreme Gaming Memory @ 800 MHz,

HIS Radeon HD 4870(stock clocked),

500 Gig Seagate SATA II Hard Drive,

Cooler Master 750 Watt Power Supply,

Cooler Master Chassis CM 690,

[willhub]

E8400 is a good overclocker you should overclock that.

My specs are:

C2D E6600 @ 3.4

Gigabyte P35C DS3R Mobo

4GB (2x Ballistix and 2x GeIL @ 1.8V 4-4-4-12 850Mhz)

Powercolor HD4870 (790/1100)

640GB WDC/320GB WDC

Antec P182 Case and Corsair HX 520W PSU

[dirtylarryuk]

Great vid shows how well a 4870 runs crysis for a £170 GPU, awesome. Will to point out the GTX do run a REAL 16x AA even at high res, but they are designed to do that with extra cost. 4870 XF should run 4x AA at 1600no issue.

[GrommDogg]

holy fucking shit.. i am getting mine tomorrow

i will be playing v/high with a custom cfg though, they look and play better :)

[willhub]

With whatever CFG you use can you send me it plz?

[Cybermav]

lol its struggling still. you need to drop the rez and settings.

[willhub]

that was totally playable!

[willhub]

Still is loud, needs a new cooler.

[evilcrow1001]

LOL put your side panel and it wont be so loud ;) 4870 rules....
