detailed shadows!

[Disconn3cted]

Can anyone run them smoothly? If yes what are your system specs?

[sting13]

I cant and i have radeon x1650. But my friend has a integrated card, 6150LE which in theory is shittier than mine, but it can run detailed. So who knows.

[frankaslt1]

no can run it wihtout lag, it's bugged

[Crumpets]

Yes they can.


Go to cSRO or ecSRO VIP or wherever it's empty and put it all on high. It's perfect.

[Vandango]

ECSRO Easily

ISRO No.. Not smooth as i like it

9600GT
2.5 GHz Quad Core.

[sunny rays]

um im not sure about what you guys mean by lag but it really just drops the frame rate.

for sure I have a crappy integrated graphics card but I think ur RAM may affect performance too.

[JesusLOL]

amd x2 6000+
4gb ram
8600 gt

over 100 fps whens everything on high, after i use detailed shadows fps drop to ~5 or less. :p , no one can use detailed shadows on isro, because they're not properly coded, even if you would have a $100000 pc, your fps would drop.

[VforVendetta]

The shadows are poorly coded, as most people I ask that have pretty damn good computers that play Crysis perfectly still have difficulties using detailed shadows without a frame drop, poor coding is all it is.

[Voluptas]

I have Twin 8800 GTX graphics, Overclocked 3.2ghz Quad core cpu and 4gb ram.
And my fps with full shadows is ~10, and always 120+ without any shadow detail.

[Toshiharu]

Anywhere without unreasonable high amount of people. Fw, town, unique, etc etc.

Intel Core 2 Quad 2.4 GHz
8800GT

[Scamar]

I cant do it, even when there is no people around

Specs:Q6600 Quad Core
4GB Ram
8500GT (I think it's my Sh*tty graphics card that does it)

[crazy_foo]

I can do it fine but not in major crowded towns like hotan. Outside where mobs are and less ppl, even the gates it's playable. I prefer just keep it on circle shadows everything else on high tho so it's always smooth Basically joymax just made a HORRIBLE engine as far as efficiency, the graphics themselves look pretty decent.

the effect isnt OPTIMIZED in ISRO

i had ksro a while ago and it was runing smoothly ... means they have it optimized .

[Braka]

it is really only there for taken screenshots and making silkroad looking better then it really is so that new ppl seeing the screenshots go woooow coooool im gona play that game!

[Cruor]

There was actually a "Silkroad Edition" AGP video card back in 2005 or 2006. I wonder if it ran detailed shadows.

Read next time please, I never said it doesn't work on ksro, i clearly said "isro", Thanks.

My friend has a PC worth over 3000 Euro.

He runs Crysis and COD4 MAX easily, but he also lags when he turns on detailed shadow.

Running crysis "max" would take 3 gtx 280's and qx9770. Is that what he has?
I still see people using detailed shadows in videos. It make silkroad look like a slide show with fraps. Anybody who uses detailed shadows is missing out on alot smoother gameplay/higher fps.

[Amarisa]

lol i run detailed shadows but took off that bloom effect (i hate that thing) and it runs smooth and i ran it on low most of the time iv played and i see no dif in fps

[IC3]

i run the game in full shadows with no problem, the only thing that causes me lag is when i have bloom effect on.

Unless u mean including AA *which would be dumb to do for Crysis* u don't need that good of a pc I can run it on very high at 1680x1050 at about 25 fps average, but I prefer higher fps so I play on high settings instead of very high. I think only one Gtx280 and a decent dual or quad core would run it very decent at 1680x1050. Any res above that it does start to get difficult tho

Code: Select all
yea, running max means AA....cod4 maxes at 4x AA and it makes a huge difference.

[Crowley]

I can, my graphics card is like radeon x5000 and it runs smoothly
And I have like 10000000GT and 10000.9 GHz Quad Core.

[BloodyBlade]

Yup I can, but I have everything on low except the view distance and character distance or something =)

[Grimm-.-]

lol... no card can run smoothly with the damn shadows and bloom...
when i say smooth- I meant SMOOTH
NO CHOPS!

On topic = no for me

X2-3800@2.4GHz, MSI NF4 ultra Mobo, 2GB DDR, 8800GT-AMP, 500GB SATA-II, 650W corsair PSU. Shadows setting = circle it lags (hotan is bad), I just turn it off after all what the use of watching shadows and not playing

[arxie]

i got a new e8400 core2duo at 3.0 ghz standard
4gb ocz 800mhz
and a radeon 4780 512mb ...

and i haven't tried it out, i just know it's too much especially on town to calculate precise shadows of all those chars

[Entangle]

Core 2 duo 2.4ghz
Nvidia 8400MS 128mb
4GB DDR2 800mhz RAM

Running detailed shadows, No lag.
Runs bloom and detailed shadows with a small amount of lag.

[Asharon]

I can easily sli 8800 gtx 3ghz intel qx6850 quad core 4 gigs ram cake walk even in hotan. Everything maxed 1920x1200 avg 60 fps easily.

but sadly Crysis maxed on 1920x1200 brings my pc to it's knees

[Lum_Lum]

For me I have a 7800GTX SLI at maxed settings, and detailed shadows just lag me. Everything is maxed though. I'm assuming coding is wrong or it's bugged, from what I'm reading some here with 9 series are lagging as well with detailed shadows. Hope they fix this someday. Yeah right .
