Whoa, some of those downsampled Crysis 3 pics. O_O
What kind of GPU would I need at minimum to downsample from 4K to 1080P and still keep a decent(30+) framerate?

SLI and probably not maxed out settings, but almost.

You're probably looking at Titan or a 4GB 670 SLI setup.

You're probably looking at Titan or a 4GB 670 SLI setup.

One thing I'm wondering about, currently using a 4 GB EVGA OC GTX670 and I plan on grabbing another down the line when I have the extra funds. However, for the CPU I only have a i5-3570K. Will that be a limiting factor or is it a good enough CPU to last for a while.

It will be fine. You can always O/C it to make sure.

 

[Kaako]

Aha, figured I'll probably need a beefy SLI setup or a 690/Titan. Thanks for the reply guys.
Really looks gorgeous though, I said dayumn.

does it whisper shit to you like

"next gen consoles cant compete with quad sli setups "

or

"next gen titles wont look much different to crysis 3"

My Cervat Yerli shower curtain begs to differ.

Lol I he does talk all kinds of shit.

God damn. Even MP looks fantastic (and runs great). I'm blown away by how good even MP looks when you bump down a few settings to keep it locked at 60.

I need either a second 680, or an upgrade to Titan. Y'all weren't lying when you said this hobby would be expensive.

BTW: I found that downsampling + FXAA(or other mode) makes it look considerably nicer than native 1080P + 2/4x SMAA, and runs similarly with just some lower framerate dips.

 

[iNvid02]

its a good thing my motherboard cant handle another 690 otherwise i could have done something stupid by now

What's the point, quad scaling is terrible, would be money straight out the window.

Money bags

 

[iNvid02]

are there any graphs showing scaling? i've always been curious as to what its like

i would ask the 2 guys on gaf who have them about their experience, but something tells me spending ~$2000 on GPUs could have made them a little bias

Talk to Sk3tch, think he also came to the conclusion that quad scaling was abysmal. Hence why he got rid of them I believe.

Fallout New Vegas - Dead Money DLC

Its a whole other beast at 1080p. The gulf between 1080p and 1440p is huge in terms of needed power. So don't be too disheartened! You'll get there eventually I started off with an i5 2300 and a HD 6850.

My current Specs are:

i7 2700k @ 4.0ghz (at the moment haven't got around to pushing it I am watercooled so there is a lot left in it)
2x Crossfire 7870's
8GB RAM

I got a good deal on a 4GB EVGA 670 so it will be paired with a 3570K and 8GB of Samsung RAM. I won't be playing any higher than 1080p for now since I will have it hooked up to my Pioneer plasma. It's my first gaming PC so I probably won't be disappointed regardless.

That'll kill most games at 1080p, that's an awesome build. Im looking to upgrade to two 670's, two 680's or a 690/TITAN. No idea where I would get the money from though.

I have downsampled 4K with a 670-card. Settings was on high and I got about 23-25fps. So a 680SLI and you would get over 30fps, maybe in the 40s...

I can never make the screenshots look as good as they do in motion!

hud_hide 1 and r_drawnearfov 2 will hide everything on screen if you didn't know.

I did not. Thank you!

More importantly you'd still only have 2gb of VRAM. You'd have a computer like a neutered bull.

A crysis 3 combo breaker...while i wait for C3 to finish downloading..

Man i wish i could remove the shitty hud in this game, Wolf 2009

 

[Brerlappin]

wolf 2009, downsampled from 2560x1600

 

[Violater]

I am actually really enjoying the game which I am very surprised with! Though I am annoyed at the omniscience the soldiers seem to possess.

I think the foliage brings the visual potential of this game down.

 

[Sethos]

That was a nice breath of fresh air Brerlappin, thanks

 

[Addnan]

Now that I have discovered how to turn off the hud. Thanks for the tip.

 

[therealminime]

Last two from me for today.

Now you just need r_chromaticaberration 0 and you are golden

 

[Grief.exe]

Crysis 3 all day every day.

 

[Krauser Kat]

chromatic looks great in motion but adds to much noise to screens.

 

[iNvid02]

very impressive looking for sure, crytek talks but it delivers too

 

[Dictator93]

Just got home from Hungary and Wow...

Crysis 3 sure did deliver the next gen... With a boom

 

[Brerlappin]

That was a nice breath of fresh air Brerlappin, thanks

Anytime

 

[MrRoderick]

So... I finally got it! Its fun as hell (heh).

 

[sti4thewin]

this game is playable at a solid 30 fps with 2560 x 1440p resolution with 2x smaa and it looks AMAZING

 

[sti4thewin]

 

[Brerlappin]

oh well, may as well get on this train

 

[iNvid02]

how would you go about turning off the dust filter in crysis 3? its probably the only thing i dislike about it

 

[Burgess_101]

Can't wait to get a few more screenshots later after this awful Arsenal match. Excited to see what Crysis has left to wow me with.

 

[MrRoderick]

This game poses an interesting challenge with removing its HUD. I will get a head on no HUD screen.
