The engine will take advantage of multi-core processors as well as multiple processors and support DirectX 9 as well as DirectX 10.
Only 2 or 3 percent of the original CryEngine code is being re-used, according to Michiel Verheijdt, Senior Product Manager for Ubisoft Netherlands.
Additionally, this engine will be less hardware-demanding than CryEngine 2, the engine used in Crysis
worlds.dat(2.5gb) is equally when uncompress to 7.5gb for textures

I went into Best Buy earlier expecting the game to be out... of course not. Some say tomorrow, others say the 23rd. I'm thinking I'll just get the Steam version and get it over with if DC hasn't figured it out by tomorrow evening.

Yeah wow. Talk about a major dissapointment for everyone hoping they could play the game a day early. I got tired of waiting and went out and bought dead space a few hours ago - Awesome game. If farcry 2 ain't cracked by tommarrow at least I'll have dead space to hold me over until it is.

They are using old drivers for ATI, not the Hotfix which almost doubles performance...  But it's a good thing you trust them and not others.

???
EDIT: The hotfix may double performance but only for the X2. I doubt the second core was being utilized pre hotfix which is why it's called a "Fix."
EDIT2: Not trusting HardOCP is a stupid thing to do. They are one of the last ones left who refuse to do canned benchmarks with time demos as realworld gameplay performance is drastically different from running a scripted sequence.
EDIT3. Just realized all their benchmarks were using DX10 which the hotifix did nothing for. The performance improvement for the X2 was all in DX9. So basically it's performing how it' suppose to. Wow you need to read before you go blindly defending your hardware.  |
I'll not : doh : you again, because I'm tired of dohing (in this thread, don't get too happy  ).
Really? The X2 underperforming the regular one? Perhaps while they refuse to use timedemos (which is an aight decision, but a good timedemo can be even more demanding than a regular gameplay), perhaps they refuse to upgrade their drivers as well?
BTW, on the issue of timedemos vs. real gameplay, it depends what you really intend to check. If you want to check raw video card power, while leaving the CPU usage to minimal (and thus leaving CPUs out of the equation), timedemos are best, because no AI calculation is done. |

Lmao, like it matters. No one plays at that resolution anyways. You can spend $200 on whatever card from nvidia or ATI and it will run the game just fine at pretty much max settings, regardless.

I preordered on Steam today like I always planned on. Sadly you can't dl the game early like you normally can with Steam pre orders. Gonna suck having to get it tomorrow when everyone is trying to grab it at the same time.

Steam is usually pretty fast even at peak times: I'm sure they've already planned for the mega-tentacle-server-rape that will ensue...

No 'proper' image will fix it - As there is nothing to image besides the data allready included in the clonedvd. There aren't the securom errors present in the DVD's track - As it was never designed with that type of protection. The current crack that bypasses the serial protection, IMO, is just a fucked up crack. He skipped the serial protection - But didn't do it right and pointed to the wrong place.
If there isn't a crack out by noon tommarrow i'll definatly be buying it.

Sure it's great to know how a card will perform like this in a time demo but do you buy a graphics card for "Raw Video Power?" Or do you buy it for it's performance? A realworld benchmark is and always will be superior.
Cool my card ran a time demo really fast but in game it's a different picture. So what the relevence of it running the time demo fast? You don't play timedemos and I will say it again, the methods used by 90% of review sites is inaccurate and stupid.
Im not arguing with you about your $600 video card and I don't want to put you in a position where you constantly defend your purchase.
EDIT: I just think you like seeing graphs with the bar stretched far right indicating your card is "best." But if you look around at some of the other HardOCP performance tests you will see how your card really performs. All the crap these other sites publish praising it for it's average framerate ignoring huge dips into the teens is ridiculous.
And I run heavily OC'd 4850's in crossfire so don't think I am biased because there is a huge difference in what I see performance wise and what these sites report in regards to how my cards perform. If I were to do it over again I'd get a 280GTX. |
Neither am I biased. But one site showing some imaginary dips that no one else feels (including me), I chose to accept that with a grain of salt, as opposed to you. Lots of sites show min and avg fps results, so funny how not any other site shows insane dips you seem to see.
But to each his own. Seems to me you are looking for assurances that the 4870x2 is crap and your setup is better. Good for you. I could be wrong (read signature). I'm probably doing the same with my setup. It's human nature.
Edit: And what is the purpose of seeing how raw power your card has? Because I might consider upgrading my CPU, and I want to know how my card would do irregardless of what CPU I have? These tests that show regular gameplay are including CPU power into the statistics as well, so what good is that? |

I think the entire point is that the 4870x2, while capable of awesome performance, on many occasions runs into issues because of the fact that is basically crossfire. So just like running a SLI setup - You are FUBAR if there isn't proper driver support. I run 8800GT's in SLI, and while the performance in some games is quite amazing, in others it just sucks, and I have to resort using a single 8800GT. So the GTX280 or GTX260 Core 216 IMO are a better buy right now - As you don't have to worry about crossfire/SLI application/driver level bullshit.
