Crysis 3 PC Performance Thread

Well, I have the 7970 too, Core i5 3570k, 8GB ram, 1980 * 1200, V sync off and only FAXX or what ever was the name

The game ran above 50 fps most of the time, except the at the beginning, barely 30 fps.
 
I would be the most interested in unlocked t_scale command. I want to make video of medium settings in 1080p from different parts of the game and it would be much better with slow motion in some those parts, especially for particles showcase :)

This would be awesome
 
Maldo mentions in the readme of his C2 mod an unlocked exe as well, but he's never posted it AFAIK :\ I'd love to get my hands on it! And hell, C2 is old enough, for it to be okay.
 
So originally I was getting extremely hot gpu temps. I have 2 superclocked gtx 580s in sli. I rearranged the cards. Now the card that used used be on the bottom is on top. For some crazy reason, my temps have dropped significantly. I now have a small overclocked profile with fans set to 85%, and my temps with everything on very high, shading high, and 1smaa, are mid 60's to mid 70's. Frame rate never drops below 60. I only have 1.5gb vram but I have not seen usage go above 1510mb.

I'm using modified C2 exe for over 1 year. But his utility is limited if you use my mod, because you can modify all cvars (locked cvars too) editing CVarGroups files into the mod.

What if one doesn't (always) want to use your mod? :P I mean, it can't hurt to have this modified binary anyway!
 
Guys I have a 120hz monitor and gtx 580 tri sli and my frame rate goes under 50 sometimes

Why is this happening?

I have latest drivers
Antialising FXAA
AF 16X
Very High
Motion Blur disabled

Because the game is demanding. Try Geforce Experience.

Come on, really? The game is demanding. Drop your settings (particularly the shaders setting).

Those of you expecting flawless performance and image quality out of every game are going to be in for a rude awakening in the coming years.
 
seriously get the geforce experience app and see what it suggests, turning down 1-2 options to high might prevent those drops

I feel like the GeForce Experience is designed for people who don't traditionally understand or mess with settings. I've tried using it and it always suggests maxing out most settings or enabling settings which ultimately result in performance lower than what I would have achieved on my own.

It's a shame there is no way for the app to run tests on a game and dial in the settings necessary to hit a minimum specified framerate.

Actually, I wish more games had dynamic detail settings that would increase or decrease depending on load.
 
I did it but still when I move and look around sometimes it furiously drop from 130fps to 60 and this causes the movement to lag and its annoying as hell

Do you guys suggest anything else?

I only play at 1080p with 2 gtx580s in sli, and just by turning the shader down from very high to high I immediately picked up 15-25 fps. It's pretty much constantly @ 60 or above now. Even on open levels with a bunch of stuff happening all at once. There is not much of a difference in fps with fxaa vs smaa1 enabled, but there is a difference in memory used. I use about 150-200 more mb of vram with smaa1 enabled as opposed to fxaa, but I think it looks better with smaa1 as the textures don't blur. Either way, try turning shader down to high and let me know if you pick up some frames.
 
Is there anyway to disable chromatic aberration without using the tool on the last page? I dont want to change a bunch of setting for my first playthrough except for the fov/lens flare/ and chromatic aberration.

Is there any line that I could add to the system.cfg or sutoexec.cfg just to remove it?
 
There doesn't happen to be any cvars to make the stupidly massive gun models normal size this time around, is there?
 
Did anyone else get a massive framerate spike during the cutscene where you talk to Psycho after
evil sith Rasch causes you to crash
I was at a steady 15/20 depending on the moment throughout the whole thing. Been playing at a very steady 30FPS at max( besides AA/2xtxaa) throughout the rest of the game with the odd drop to 29 here and there.
 
So the second level was by far the most fps demanding part of the game. Afterwards it was smooth sailing.
 
Hate to pester the thread again, but is there any way to disable chromatic aberration through the system.cfg or autoexec.cfg? Tried using the tool posted on the last page but that turned my 30+fps into 20 fps and I wouldnt know right now what to turn off or turn down to raise the fps. Besides I prefer to stay as close to how the game design was intended for my first playthrough.

try this in autoexec.cfg

Chromatic Aberrationr_ChromaticAberration = 0
 
Has anyone played around with that configurator? Not sure what to set things to.

I have a Phenom X4 955 Black Edition

Everything max except shader to high and particle to high @ 1080p and you should be 30-60fps. I'd use a framerate limiter and lock it to 30fps.

:lol

Which guns are too huge? You could try upping the FOV to see more?
Click to expand...

Crysis 1 was fine. But with Crysis 2 and this one they decided to make the guns huge. For some reason guns need to take up the entire bottom-right quarter of the screen now and it just makes me feel claustrophobic and half-blind.

Someone only just made a mod for Crysis 2 in the past year or so to fix it. drawnearfov didn't work in that game, don't have much hope for 3 including it

Cool thanks. I'll see how it works out. :)

Too bad I can't get this to run at 60 or close. I'm not the kind of PC gamer that can't play games at 30fps but 60 is always my goal if possible. :P

Whoa that alone makes me want to replay Crysis 2, any idea where I can find this mod? :o

I tried locking it to 30 with MSI Afterburner, but it was very blurry and a little jumpy. What are some other good framerate limiters to try? Game looks incredible maxed out.
 
I sure hope they fix the DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED error that keeps me from playing the game more than 20 minutes at a time. I kept thinking my card was overheating, but right after getting this error I would run FURMARK for 15 minutes at 1080p no probem.

Have you tried upping your voltage a bit via Afterburner or another OC utility? There was a problem with the newest Ghost Recon that would cause this error and was fixed by bumping voltage slightly. It even worked when upped the voltage on a 6xx series card even though bumping the voltage did nothing.

Set resolution to 1080p, in-game vsync off, adaptive vsync activated in nvidia inspector, 4x msaa, textures high, advanced graphics all on high, 16x af, and motion blur off. Quit the game and create autoexec.cfg in the root folder of the game, using the settings that Zeth supplied:



This configuration solved all performance issues for me.

Specs: i5-3570k, 8 GB RAM, Geforce 580 gtx sli, win 7 64 bit.

Alright, for some reason the autoexec.cfg isn't working. The intro isn't being skipped so I'm assuming none of the other settings are working either. I have the file in "E:\Program Files\Origin Games\Crysis 3"

What's going on?

Last time I got that error was in Hitman Absolution. It went away after I turned off MSAA so give that a try.

That tends to happen when a PC game goes to consoles. Battlefield for example, first small gun models, then with the console focused Bad Comany the gun modles turn huge, then in the PC focused BF3 they go small again. Kinda funny

It's an odd thing. Could it be a matter of viewing distances?

When viewed from close proximity on a monitor, the weapons in Crysis 3 appear too large, but when played on a TV from further back they somehow less OK. I kind of feel the same about FOV. The closer I sit to the display the wider an FOV I prefer.
