QUOTE(zeustronic @ Oct 12 2008, 08:27 PM) Crytek is lousy game engine, Crying since 8800GTX until now GTX280 cant really play smoothly on DX10. The Cevat families with pack of lies, promise better optimised gameplay Warhead but the result came out still the same. Well said, who ever said crytek 2 engine is good, you have to do some research on what define a good engine. Good engine is like unreal 3 engine. Perfectly optimised. Even a mid range computer can run the game like 50-60fps. My 9600gt run is 60fps most of the time at MAX setting. The graphics is comparable to crytek 2 engine i can say. Crytek 2 engine nothing to shout about also, no ppl buy their engine, why? Lousy. Unreal 3 engine even expensive, ppl buy until siao edi. |

Damn, no luck running crysis warhead. Choking like no hell at gamer setting. I guess its either my hdd or not enuf ram. Wat i saw is HDD keep on loading, and i think my hdd near spoilt, the loading sound is quite loud. Dunno wan get 4gb ram or 1 new hdd... arrgh..
Added on October 29, 2008, 1:00 amBut i run far cry 2 it works like charm.. only crysis warhead. My hypothesis is becos not enuf ram, it use the pagefile, and my hdd is damn slow and got bit prob, so pagefile is slow, thus stutter and choke here and there.

I think becos ur amd is not powerful enuf. Bottlenecking ur 4870 edi la.. Far cry 2 not smooth? Is it stuttering? I think its normal. Try gfx_maxfps 30 or 40. It sets ur max fps to 30 or ur liking. It will be less stuttering but only at 30fps lo. But 30fps CONSTANTLY and no up or down is considered good edi.
Added on October 29, 2008, 8:10 amDamn, i try gamer setting still choke like stupid... I guess i need 4gb ram to run it smoothly.. This post has been edited by ben3003: Oct 29 2008, 08:10 AM |

Dunno y now like better edi. I tried to delete the cache file, then use optimal setting then switch to gamer setting. At least the choke is bearable and still quite playable. Very few loading. I think i might get 4gb ram asap.

lol enthusiast setting with 4850.. Dont expect a mid range card like that can go enthusiast please. Summore at high reso. Try gamer setting and see. If it still persist, then i suspect is either driver prob or ur hardware got prob.
