Cryostasis - Tech Demo (All High)

Tech demo of one of the best-looking PC games I think I've ever seen. Think you've seen impressive physics and water effects? Think again!

My system specs:
AMD 64-bit 4800+
2 GB RAM
8800 GTX

In-game settings:
1440x900
All High
No AA/AF (Little noticeable difference)

Average FPS (when not recording): About 30 FPS

Is the slowness lag 'cause of the heavy calculations or is it supposed to be some sort of timewarp in the game's reality?

@TiagoTiagoT The PC I had at the time just couldn't handle it very well.

Would running this game with ATI graphics cards ruin my performance in any way? I don't want to miss out on PhysX...

[Chubzdoomer]

To be honest, I can't say for sure. I haven't tested it on an ATI card myself and I'm not totally sure how the PhysX effects would react to an ATI card. I'm sure that with a high-end one, though, you could run the game fine. But don't take my word for it just yet!

Looks ridiculously nice, haven't been this impressed by graphics since i saw Crysis for the first time.

It's sad that more games don't have fluid physics like that, I would have so much fun playing around with them.

@SnipHawk the water in bs2 IS better tho

@Chubzdoomer

When u play with physix enabled with a ati card your frame rate is going to fall to 5 fps.

the game looks great but im not really impressed by the water , it looks thick it also flows in weird clusters but its alright for a start

30 avg is all you're getting? I am able to run it @ 1920x1080 with everything maxed, with an avg of 56 FPS. And all I have is a 9800 GT.

Bioshock 2 should have looked like this...

[kahuna390]

amaizing. uncharted 2 is really good but this is better

[aspensweden]

the water in this game is revolutinary

The phisics would be calculated by your CPU and you will see a very big performance loss no matter what CPU you have. That is unless you have a dedicated PhysX card aswell as your ATI video card.

An 8xxx series Nvidia card or higher can run any PhisX game with the built in Cuda tech. The phisics is calculated by the video card and runs much faster.
