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

so whats the difference. wil i get better graphics with direct x 10.


hey where u from. u like cricket?

 

That depends, you'll get better detail but until DX10.1 comes out you won't have anti-aliasing, which IMO is quite an important graphical feature. Personally I'd stick with windows XP and DX9 until 10.1 starts being used then upgrade your OS. Avoid Vista for as long as you can.

 

but the higher res you play, the less AA if any as all you need.

 

I play a lot of games at 2560x1600, even at that resolution, I still want AA. The resolution may have increased, but the number of pixels per square inch hasn't actually changed much, so Anti-Aliasing is no less useful.

 

yeah, but you wont need it asmuch as if you were gamign at 1023x786.

imagine a 20"screen with 2560x1600. no AA needed at all

 

I think he plays on a 30inch screen 2560x1600 and he turns on AA.

Is AA more useful on a smaller or bigger screen?

 

not really screen size, more for less dots/inch. aka smaller res.

 

Really random, but Abuzar, how the hell did you beat me to afterdawn addict?????

 

I'm a post whore?

I've been around longer, and I am in more forums that just PC hardware.

I'm at 2800, what about you?

 

I have 1879

Only another 300 to go... I think?? Is it 2200 or 2500?

 

hey waymon! u have two 3870's in cross fire. how is the performance. o and i have a question do u need aa for crysis if u have 3850 512mb and what about anti-alising.

 

The performance is great, well compared to what other cards get... I run it at very high settings, usually 1152/864 but now I'm starting at 1280x1024 so I dont have to use AA - and thats with the Ultra High config as well. Crysis still doesnt work with CF, nor with Quad core CPUs. I believe that the 1.1 patch fixed the AA bug - I may be mistaken but I do see a nice performance hit when I turn it onto 4x - a good 10fps.

CF and Sli will be fixed and working in Crysis when the 1.2 patch is released, so I am waiting for that one.

To answer your question, a 3850 512mb card could probably play all high @ 1024/768, maybe with a slightly higher resolution. Crysis is very tweekable, and the 1.1 patch improved performance tremendously - so be sure to download it.

In the mean time, check out youtube. They have tons of videos of Crysis with the 3850: http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=crysis+3850&search=Search

 

It's 2500 and safety valve posts don't count.

As for Crysis, graphics aside it's a VERY fun game to play. The Physics rock!

 

Indeed! One of the best parts of the game! Espically when you play on a map in the editor like "physics" or "physics II"
