Hi guys,

so what'ya think about Crysis 3 so far? I'm enjoying it, though my GTX 670 really struggles. Getting only 30 fps all maxed out with 16xAF and TXAAx2 (Motion Blur deactivated), cuz' I hate it.

Sometimes it drops a few frames but I am a bit dissapointed that I only get 30 ... but I am lucky, cuz the other two brats in the house (Metro 2033 and Witcher 2) still only run with 20-25 fps on my machine.

As for the game, the wider levels are a very nice touch, I enjoy playing them a lot. What I'm not impressed with - as likeable as he may be - is always running behind Psycho. It'S a bit too linear for my taste.

Eager to hear your impressions.

greetz,

Its better than Crysis 2 for sure, bigger levels were you can take different directions, and some nice new suit modules features too like saving specific combos depending on how you approach enemies. Its nice to easily swap if you are going stealthy or all armored out...etc. or both, quite good variation you can take.

There was some small "follow Psycho" but thats mosly in the first level really, the rest is all up to you.
I wouldnt say its as huge as Crysis/Warhead as in freedom, but it sure was from Crysis 2. And since they had the verticality and ledge grabbing of Crysis 2 in it was very nice addition to it.

Interms of framerate the first level is the only one that really lags, i read at neogaf that it has something to do with the ropes, some sort of a bug or something since the rest of the levels are great. Though the first level in the rain do look fantastic for sure and then second level too.

Also I liked how they added secondary objectives like Crysis and had those vehicle drives similair to Warhead. You could tell they cattered it to original Crysis fans there.

Getting only 30 fps all maxed out
I don't think this is really a case of your GTX670 struggling. You're talking about ultra? Ultra is sorta designed around SLI-level specs.

Now, is it fairly optimized at that level? That's certainly up to debate, but "ultra" has always been designed for enthusiasts. Someone has to make software for them :)

The game still looks pretty awesome on "high" though, doesn't it?

And yeah Crysis 2 ran brilliantly but I don't think it looked quite as pretty.
