on what settings can i play crysis on with diamond radeon 3850 512mb

can anybody tell me on what setting can i play crysis on with diamond radeon 3850 512mb.

 

you will be able to play with medium setting with a decent resolution.

 

This depends what frame rate you're willing to put up with. For some gamers it's higher than for others. To achieve a reasonably fluid picture (30fps or above almost all the time) you're probably looking at:
1024x768: High
1280x800: Medium
1280x1024: Medium

 

wut about with evga 8600gts or xfx 8600 gts xxx

 

Both of those cards are worse than the 3850.

 

The X1950XTX is comparable in performance to the HD3850. I manage to play Crysis at a resolution of 1280 x 800 on high at a playable frame rate so I don't think you should have any trouble yourself.

 

what is anti alising. what do i set that too. tell me the whole settings.

 

Actually the 3850 is quite a bit better than that. I play at 1280x1024 on High and I have always had a smooth framerate. I have the 256MB version though, so with a 512 you might even get a better framerate.

 

The HD3850 is better than the X1950XT-X. Less memory, so at higher resolutions you may struggle, but buy the 512MB version and it's certainly a much better card.
Agreed on the 8600s, they're much slower than the HD3850.
As for Anti-Aliasing, it doesn't work in Crysis, but in pretty much any other game it's a feature worth using. I tend to set it to 4x - 2x doesn't make enough of a difference, 6x doesn't look much better than 4x. The performance impact of AA is quite high though, so watch out for that one.

 

so the diamond 3850 512mb will play all the direct x 10 games.

 

It will but not on high settings. I suggest you use DX9 as DX10 is not all that's it's put up to be.

 

how do u do that?

 

Don't use Vista and run games in XP.

 

but can i use xp and still run direct x 10. i no there is a way for crysis i think.

 

Er, no you can't. Not without some impressive coding skills, and I mean really impressive. XP is DX9 only now.

 

Well there are "hacks" out there which involve modifying the cvar files in the Crysis game directory to add DX10 effects in Crysis - but that's the only game that you can "cheat" to have DX10 in XP I believe.

 

You might enable some DX10 effects in XP, but XP can NOT do DX10.

 

that was becasue they were onfact "locked" DX9 featues on crysis.

DX10 is a hardware as well as software. thats why the older gen cant run it.

 

so how many frames will i get in crysis if i run it on vista.

 

Not very much probably. Depends on your resolution and what settings you play at.
