Crysis 3 PC Performance Thread

Select Low or medium quality preset in game menu and restart the level. A lot of dynamic lights have the castShadow propierty activated only for High quality or higher.
A tweak for play on low or medium with dynamic shadows is load the level in high or veryhigh preset, and then change to low or medium in the menu.
This. Also, bigger performance problems in C3 are in the cpu side, so moving physx to cpu will be worst (if crysis 3 will use physx, that is not the case).

I'll try that. I already did change the custom options, though and reloaded the level multiple times. Do only the presets change lighting?
Yea C3 is an amd game...so no physx. But regarding the temps again, I have a coolermaster haf 922. Noctua cpu heatsink and fan. Cpu temps are crazy lowe, especially considering it's at 4.5 and the ivy bridges historically run a little warmer than the sandy bridge cpus. So airflow is there, and is good. But yea, even with my fans turned up all the way, my gpu gets pretty toasty running this game.

Anyone getting the occasional strange SLI scaling? Happens at the worst moments .

His iceq 7850 oced from 860mhz to 1000mhz and this game at 1080p, mix of high and very high and 2 mediums puts the card at load with stable 40 to 65 fps at a temp no higher than 61 degrees. Love this card.
You could probably push it further than that too with some extra volts, most will get to at least 1100MHz.
I wouldn't use that.
If you have an nVidia card just use "half refresh rate" option and you'll receive completely consistent updates.
This is a case of 'ignorance is bliss' for me. I just can't tell much of a difference at all between the Medium and Very High presets. I'm probably the only one in this thread that thinks this, but Medium looks fantastic. With Medium, I'm getting a constant 60fps with my single 680. There were one or two drops to ~55 in that first level, but now its pretty much a constant 60fps. FPS drops are waaay more noticable and distracting to me than the graphical difference between Medium and Very High. Its a more than acceptable tradeoff for me
i5 2500k @ 4.5GHz
6870 1GB
8GB DDR3 1600MHz
1080p, SMAA medium, everything on high except particles which is set to low and without v-sync.
Locked the framerate to 30 through msi afterburner. Rock solid 30fps @ the first level. Assuming it will stay that way later on too.
Any word on a possible fix regarding the moving rope performance bug?

So I left everything else on very high, and turned shader to high. I immediately picked up 15-20 fps based on that alone. With smaax1 enabled, another 5 over msaax2. So now I am almost always at 55fps-75fps, and in open level firefights it dips to about 45-50. Very playable!
Honestly, I can't really tell the difference between shader at very high or high, other than the drop in 20 frames.

So, turning off V-sync improved my performance significantly for some reason (don't know why it was on). Able to run multiplayer on high settings while staying above 30 FPS. I also upped my over-clocking.
Any configuration settings I can set to make it run a little better? I'm running a 4-core i7, 12 GBs RAM, and Radeon HD 7770 2GB.

Ah, sounds good! I'll try it out. I'd love to run this game on Very High, but it looks damn good on just High with decent anisotropic filtering.

I have the HD7770 as well, similar specs.
Try this autoexec.cfg
Love to know if it helped.

What exactly does this do and how do I use it?
Playing on my 7850 2GB (1200MHz/1500MHz) and i5 750 at 3.8GHz and I'm stunned how well it runs and how good it looks.
Running at 1080p with 1x SMAA, textures to high, 1x AA, and everything bar water (high) and shading and shadows (medium) set to very high I'm getting between 30-70fps, probably around 45 on average.
Really impressed!

Just place it into your main Crysis 3 folder.
For me, i place it in "C:\PC Games\Crysis 3"
The original cfg was taken from another Crysis 3 performance thread, but I used the offical Cvar tool to change some of the settings, such as lighting and distant grass animation.
It looks and runs great for me anyway. If you don't agree, just delete the "autoexec.cfg" file from your main Crysis 3 directory.

Awesome, thanks! I'll report back here later with my results.
on a GTX670 here and wasn't too happy with my performance. Gave your autoexec.cfg a go and i'm very happy with it. Keeping it almost consistently over 60FPS when combined with SMAA Medium and it's not looking half bad. Thanks.
Because even though it's demanding, it's pretty well optimized.
i was expecting it to tank my system at those settings.

Getting around 30 FPS average with either TXAA 4X or MSAA 4X with everything at Very High after the first level which ran at 20FPS for the majority of the missin. Shame I can't run it at 60 but 30 shall do with visuals like this. Have a 4GB GTX670 and I5-3570K. Do have some minor OCing going on though.
Question, is there a way to disable hud but still have access to binocular vision? Can make it hard to do certain objectives. My other question is if there is a way to get rid of the enter to skip cutscene button. Really frustrating and gets in the way of screenshots.
By the way, I honestly think the TXAA looks great. The only time where there is anything resembling a loss of detail is in the faces and It's still visible, just not as sharp. Think I might go through the game with it.

Been playing with 2x690s. Odd performance (maxed and downsampled). With Maldos SLI bits I boot it up and get 90FPS+ with 90%+ scaling over all GPUs, then quit out and on a second boot I get less (sometimes way less) than 50% per GPU and its a 10FPS slideshow.
I know Quad has its problems so I'm not surprised. Probably a reboot would clear it.

1920x1200 is a super low resolution?
Yes, real action starts at 2560x1600 and up.
Gee you think?
No, your cpu just sucks.
and randomly cranking up settings with specs like that, expecting 60fps and then calling it poorly optimized when it doesn't hit it is silly.

Also: How do you bind a console short cut to a key? Saw someone do it in one of the many crysis threads a few days ago. Want to bind no hud in particular.
And just to put it out there again, can you disable enter to skip during cutscenes?

I too would like to know this.
Yes i know that, but still when you look at this:
http://maldotex.blogspot.se/2013/02/performance-bug-in-crysis-3-first-level.html
maybe not?
Seriously, this game is not THAT much better looking then crysis 2, and that i run just fine.

WHAT!? Hahaha, that's a joke. The game is optimized just fine. Seriously. Get a better CPU.
game has a lot more advanced graphical features than C2 so you can't just crank everything to very high and expect smooth sailing because you could in the previous game.
Oh and this looks a lot better than C2.

LOL at "super low" resolution
EDIT: BEATENGODDAMMITSETHOS
You'd probably be getting better performance than my 670 if it weren't for that CPU.
EDIT: BEATENGODDAMMITSETHOS
What resolution?

I don't think this is possible anymore because it was abused in crysis 1 for macros in the mp
