Crysis Optimization -The Crysis Config Thread

[kkbob33]

Well I've seen alot of people posting on these forums lately about how Crysis isn't optimized. For the past Few days i have been working on a config to try to "optimize" the game further. After much trial and error i finally came up with something that has the performance of high but looks much better

I found it mainly has to do with the sys_spec_Shading & r_MotionBlur settings more than anything else.

By manipulating mainly the shading settings i was able to gain significant performance increases. Because of this boost in performance i was then able to add more eye candy .

I took some screen shots of both the Custom Config and normal High settings. I didnt want to post them in the 1680x1050 because it would show up too big on most monitors so i had to scale them down. The difference is more noticable on the higher res shots but this these will have to do.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


And here's the Benchmarks for comparison betwwen the Custom Config and the normal High settings. I aslo threw a Very High Bench in also




Heres the normal High setting: 54.165

Heres with the Custom Config : 52.15

And heres the Very High run : 32.31



-----------------------------------------------------------------





To make the config go into the C:\Program files\Electronic Arts\Crytek \Crysis folder and make a new notepad document and name it autoexec.cfg. Make sure the file extension is .cfg and not .txt.


Then, copy and paste this into it:

Just add or remove the ";" to enable or disable. The values can also be changed. There is even a slow-mo mod made by Addi in there too. That can be enabled by removing the ";" and then hitting "Q" in game to initiate it and "E" to stop it.

If anyone feels like manipulating it more this thread here is a good place to start: http://www.incrysis.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=11614

it has a chart of most of the commands.

I was thinking it would be nice if some people would make some configs and post a bench of it vs. high(or medium for slower machines).



Feedback is appreciated

If the full-size ones don't work, try reloading.

It's only just playable on my sig rig but I've tweaked it to look as nice as possible and still get 30FPS+ during seriously intense fight scenes it drops to 26 and in normal jungle scenes I get around 32-34, open terrain (at the beaches etc.) is a bit kinder at around 40-45. I'll post some comparison shots later to show how much difference the most noticable effects have on performance and looks.

[$till LegendaryU2K]

Each one of those screenshots looks great, and you get 54fps at those settings, thats perfect.

[bluffmasta]

how u make a autoexec.cfg word file on crysis foldeR?

[Spitphire]

Trying these settings out now!

**Update**

Just ran it and I gotta say I'm not impressed. I got around 22 FPS in DX10 on average. Maybe the fact that you can run it like you do is because your 9600GT SLI set up. I hear 2 9600GTs ROCK!

I'll stick with Crysis in DX9. It runs so much faster and looks the same.

I get 52 FPS. 54 is normal high

To make the config go into the C:\Program files\Electronic Arts\Crytek \Crysis folder and make a new notepad document and name it autoexec.cfg. Make sure the file extension is .cfg and not .txt.

Thanks for the feedback

When i run in DX10 i actually get 2 more FPS than DX9

Anyway, it should look the same in DX9.

heres the config for DX9:

You get higher FPS in DX10? Nice! I'm jealous!

I'll have to try the DX9 config and let you know.

The only reason i can think that i do is becuase of the newer drivers. what drivers are you running?

If the full-size ones don't work, try reloading.

It's only just playable on my sig rig but I've tweaked it to look as nice as possible and still get 30FPS+ during seriously intense fight scenes it drops to 26 and in normal jungle scenes I get around 32-34, open terrain (at the beaches etc.) is a bit kinder at around 40-45. I'll post some comparison shots later to show how much difference the most noticable effects have on performance and looks.
