Geofa, how many fps are you getting in Crysis now? More or less?

I don't have Crysis or play it so I wouldn't know. I did try the demo on my old setup (old monitor) and it was pretty dismal.http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpgForum Moderatorhttp://geofageofa.spaces.live.com/

It doesn't matter because you'll probably have to do it again: Crysis is that demanding." (2) "Crysis may very well kick your computer in the balls at Very High settings;" (1) but "results are a bit mixed at medium and low settings. ... At the lowest detail settings, objects pop in and out with a fair degree of consistency. It's annoying at best and frustrating at worst, as it can impact gameplay." (3)"The constant tweaking of system specs needed to get the game running optimally is also a drag, and the average PC gamer will probably find that their system is nowhere near powerful enough to get this beast even up and running to standard." (2) Without a strong enough rig, the game "may very well turn into more of a slideshow than you'd probably prefer and in some cases become completely unplayable."

deadly, you are very strong in your opinions. Certainly I have no doubt regarding your position.My question is, what is your mission, your goal? If you convinced the vast majority here that fsx is bad code...then what? Would you lead a demand for refunds? I'm truely interested, Its intriguing to me that anyone would care enough about an entertainment title to become this passionite and inflamatory as to define it as "bad code".Bob

hmmm.. I thought my example could not get any simpler. But it seems you still do not get it.Embarrassingly, you said directx is a "black box" API which gets passed "data" from FSX, and any graphics glitches are caused by the driver (not FSX). x:-)Now try and think logically. If all the graphics problems in FSX were caused by the driver, then every other 3D PC game in this market would be experiencing the same such graphics issues. Why?? Because they all use the same API and drivers!Since every other 3D PC game in this market is not experiencing the same such issues, why do you still think it's all due to driver problems *:-* Makes sense now? :)

Deadly, I think it is time to stop to beat a dead horse.Jan

>Since every other 3D PC game in this market is>not experiencing the same such>issues, why do you still think it's all due to driver problems>*:-* If your premise were true, certainly the conclusion you draw would be both licit and true.However the premise you cite in the quote above is fatally flawed, as a simple review of the driver notes from nVidia will prove. Or, simply do a quick perusal of nVidia's own forum to see how many problems other game titles are experiencing because of flaky drivers:http://forums.nvidia.com/lofiversion/index.php?f22.htmlIn particular, check out this one:http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=46480"I have spent nearly $4000 on an Alienware laptop to play the Sims 2..."I cannot find one, single game title that doesn't have at least a half-dozen complaints!
