High Graphics Wont Hack It

[19Sh@dY90]

iv tried playin Crysis on full graphics, but its very jerky, dosent run smooth at all, and at the main menu the mouse curser when over the button, is acutalli about 2-3 inches away so i have to guess where the buttons are, so i went back a step to unreal tornement 3, this runs abit better but when playin high graphics, its jerks alot, so i went astep further back and installed fear. my old pc ran this perfect on highgraphics, but nope still no luck on the high graphics

i have the latest graphics drivers for my card, but is my card any good?

New Comp spec:
AMD Phenom 9600 Quad Core
8GB DDR2 Ram 800Mhz
500G Harddrive
5.1 Onboard sound
512Mb ATI Radeon 3650 (direct X10.1)

Old Comp Spec:
AMD 64 +3500 single core
2.512G ram (2 x 1G and 1 X 512MB)
80G hardrive
Onboard Sound
256Mb ATi Radeon X800

iv also been using Futuremarks Benchmark programs, but some times im only geting a rate of 1FPS but then others at around 30-40FPS



Any ideas?

i have had the same problem with crysis. if i set the resolution too high the pointer acted as u described and the game graphics would jerk and crash at certain times. the only thing i could do to stop it was to lower the resolution settings until i got to a stage where the graphics and resolution were not doing it. i tried all the online patches but it made no diff. i am running a quad core pc with 2 sli 8600 graphics cards with 4gb mem on the motherboard.

To be honest that card will never play many games with high settings , your have to turn down the screen resolution along with some in game eye candy to be able to run Crysis

As for your old card , It's better minus the pixel shade 3 and dx10 , and when that was new it was around the £200 mark , where the card you have now you can get new for around £50

Also, when you lower the resolution you could turn off upscaling so that the picture still looks crisp. If you go into the graphics card setup (mine is ATI catalyst control centre) then you turn off upscaling in advanced settings. What this does is make the actual picture size get smaller instead of trying to fit the window into full screen (make sure you turn off full screen in the game options as well). This technique works well if you dont mind playing in a smaller screen size, but it really does improve the fps.
