Angarak Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Its approx 1.8GB and supports DX9 and DX10 (though I hear the DX10 textures arent the best with it being a demo. Download Links: :: http://www.fileshack.com/file.x/11333/Crysis+SP+Demo :: http://na.llnet.cdn.ea.com/u/demos/Crysis_SP_Demo.exe I downloaded from the 2nd link, decent rate too (ave 200+kb/sec) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I have it, got it yesterday, people who pre-order the game got to DL the demo 24 hours before the public. Graphics are very nice, probably the best I have ever seen yet. I had my settings to very high in game for everything and at 1680x1050 res and it was playable. This is with my CPU overclocked but not my GFX. I installed the new nVidia beta driver that was recommended with Crysis and it took away my overclocking ability for the graphics. If I had the GFX overclocked then I think that would have given me at least another 10-15 fps easy so it would have been a bit better. I turned it down to high for everything and flipped on 2xAA and it was much improved. Gameplay is pretty cool. I would take screen shots but fraps would not work with this game. probably because I am running the game with DX10. My systems meat and potatoes: 2.4ghz Intel Dual core overclocked to 3.5Ghz (watercooled) 2 GB ram 8800 GTX (normally overclocked to 675mhz) (watercooled) X-Fi Elite pro soundcard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daston Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Gamer what fps are you seeing? Does it support SLI? Downloading now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Gamer what fps are you seeing? Does it support SLI? Downloading now No idea on the FPS as I could not get fraps to run due to the version of fraps I have (v2.8.2) not working with DX10. I am installing the latest version (v2.9.2) of fraps now. hopefully that will work. I can say that it was playable at the settings I used so that would lead me to believe that I was getting at least 30FPS. As far as I know, SLI does not work yet but I should think that is just down to the beta drivers and hopefully nvidia will sort that out soon. **Edit, some are able to use SLI. reading more about it now.

Angarak Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 To display the FPS ingame, open the console (`) and type r_displayinfo 1. On HIGH settings @ 1024x768 Im averaging between high 30's and low 90's. Its only when it goes below 25fps that the human eye detects 'lag'.

Daston Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 running it all on full with full AA at a playable fps, it slows down sometimes when things get busy but then catches up.

Angarak Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 You can remove the annoying loading up videos (intel, nvidia, ea, etc) by going to your Crysis SP Demo installation folder, then into GAME, then into LOCALIZED, then into VIDEO and either renaming or deleting the .sfd files prefixed with 'trailer_" and the 'crytek.sfd' also (I made a backup folder and moved them into there).

Gamer Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Be sure to get the latest nvidia drivers, just released for the demo. They give a nice increase in performance. Verified by a very nice increase on my 3dmark scores ! (on Vista) You can pick up the drivers here for both XP and Vista. I have not tested the XP drivers. http://downloads.guru3d.com/ (Forceware 169.01) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Wow just ran through the demo! That was one of the best FPS I have ever played. You 360 boys can take Halo 3 and shove it right up your......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I hope the full game is better but to be honest im not that impressed sure it is pretty and there are some nice touches with the cryo suit but it reminds me too much of far cry.

Angarak Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 Its hard for the demo not to be like FarCry though to be honest, tropical island setting, guns and bad guys. On the plus side, the physics, AI, storyline and voice over/cut-scenes are better than FarCry, and it doesnt look as cartoony as FarCry (dont get me wrong - I love FarCry!). On another note, has anyone tried killing an NK with a Hen yet? You can pick them up and throw them, but I havent yet tried killing someone with one.

Daston Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 lmao you sick sick man! Yes I will have a go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Played about 30 mins of it today and am quite impressed so far, though as mentioned it does "look" very much like a suped up Far Cry in the Demo. The character details and real physics model work superb, will have to see it on a decent end system and DX10 to fully appeciate it I guess! Due to the low system spec it will only run playable framerate under mostly low settings at 1024x786, but will run fine with AAx2 and medium texture and object detail. Spec: Athlon 64 3200 1GB PC 4200 ram (64 bit, not 128) XFX 7600GTX XXX edition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
