Why doesn't that tech powerup link work?

Additionally, the only reason I care about new GPU's coming out is because the older ones become cheaper.

These days, anything over a GTX 280 is basically pointless.

These days, anything over a GTX 280 is basically pointless. Nonsense

I own an XFX GTX285 Black Edition (690/1300MHz) and am very much looking forward to likely picking up a 580 in the coming weeks.

oh i think Nvidia forced that review offline, i looked it up via google yesterday and followed that link and it worked, now it doesnt anymore, the reviewed it before launch time

Just go to the links posted here way back, they still work.

why not buy two gtx460 1GB's and get better performance? Or two hd6850/70's? or wait until the hd6970 releases? all of them will be better option than buying a gtx580 right now, because if nothing else there'll be price changes when the hd6970 arrives.

Whatever they do, they had better not do something like intentionally making Crysis 2 perform worse on ATI cards so that Nvidia will always give you the best graphics.

Now that would be REALLY stupid.

It was just an advertising idea back then.

Back when?

Some people will spend 450$ just to gain 4fps.
It seams that advertising has done it's job and hooked some svckers(ha ha)
If I wanted to upgrade GPU I would buy Radeon 5850 OC for 250$ (and I will) ,and still be able to play Crysis and Crysis 2 on max for near half the price

I think this is all fake and false rumors, Crysis 2 is built all on the same time for all 3 platforms, they cant just focus on one, the Engine WONT allow it. and it would be unfair for others.

Crysis 2's Graphics have been set in the Central station Level @ E3 2010 they are NOT changing.

The graphics will be definitely be monumentally better on PC and such will technically have been 'focused on'. If that's unfair learn to buy a PC for gaming as well as typing on this forum! (it'll cost the same as what you paid anyway if you build it yourself and then will come the shocking realization of how cheap PC gaming really is!). What's unfair is having a system 10 times mroe powerful yet a company svckers up to whiny crybabies and only adds the ability for AA! (of course we get 1080p at 60fps in every port, but that's a given for PC gamers).

As for tessellation, crytek will likely be laughed out of the shop if they don't include such features which are definitely starting to take hold in the higher end games now. If they want to retain their 'we push boundaries' status, they'll probably have to use it. However crysis is in a city, which is easier to render than a billion leaves anyway, so i guess it may not be needed. However they will be using far more advanced versions of shading and lighting that the mere consoles can only have in a feverish dream.

No, they aren't using tessellation.

Yes, the graphics could still improve over that build, though. Compared to what the launch version will be like, that build will have been one year old. Of course they're going to improve upon it.

Well the scaling does mean they can quite easily add features on top of the PC version without affecting the others as they can just tell the engine not to use the feature on the inferior platforms. Just the same as settings in anormal PC game!

Which i'm fine with because they won't be using anything stupid like physX. Also, if they make the game have such ridiculous tessellation ect. they'll also cut out the gtx460 users and below, which make up around 60%-70% of all nvidia dx11 cards sold. So there probably isn't much to worry about for AMD cards.

I'm a PC gamer, I'm just saying, there not changing the Release date, so nothings really changing...

Also, the 2 Levels from Crysis 2 shown at Game expo 2010 showcased Crysis 2 on the PC, and the Graphics that were shown are Final due to the Release Date being so close, and the GTX 580 isn't powerful enough to make any changes to Crysis 2, therefor unless an Crytek staff member tells me, Crysis 2's Graphics are and will be how they are now. Movie Quality.

What do you mean nothing is changing? The game isn't finished yet. Anything could still change at this point.

You should really look up Live Create.

The PC is the lead platform. Basically, they are able to make everything of appropriate quality for a AAA PC title thanks to Live Create. The PC can get the higher res textures, since Live Create can dynamically downscale the texture resolutions for the consoles. The PC can get better draw distances since that's just a console command that would need to be changed for lowered draw distances on the consoles.

Basically, a set of parameters has been set for each console. Once these parameters are set, they can just develop on the PC as the changes are made automatically on the consoles according to the parameters.

There is no porting with Crysis 2 thanks to this revolutionary system for game development, that saves both time and money.

It's how Crysis 2 is able to actually get a release in March, instead of a year later as well.

There likely won't be any hugely significant changes, but some extra features could definitely be added.

Also i agree with live create, i'm not sure what i'm looking forward to more! Crysis 2 or cryengine 3 becoming a mainstream engine!

Crytek confirmed that Crysis 2 will have DX11, but won't be using tessellation this time around. Basically, a game needs to be built from the start with tessellation in mind so it looks proper, or else it distorts too much on a mesh.

Better that than having half-done tessellation because it was forced in halfway through development.

They Never Confirmed that Crysis 2 is using DX11, and the central station level is complete at this point, so still not much is changing from now to release in march 2011.

and i know about live create very well

During development, parts in a game aren't completed until the entire game is completed. Changes can happen at any time.

Yes, Crysis 2 has been confirmed to have DX11. Seems as if you haven't been keeping up on all of the articles. They didn't just come out and say it, but they hinted at DX11 being a part of Cryengine 3.

If its only a hint. Dont judge so quickly.

It was clear enough to be certain.

Don't you guys keep up on the Crysis 2 articles that are released constantly?

The GTX 580 is out and it looks like a monster of a Gpu.

As far as I know, only the CryEngine 3 has DX11 support, it is still unknown as to what extent Crysis 2 will utilize DX11.

Crysis 2 is the flagship title being used to advertise Cryengine 3.

Additionally, Crysis 2 supports everything Cryengine 3 supports for that very reason.

Starting to like this info.

Still, they will not redo Crysis 2 just for another fail card from Nvidia.... Crysis 2 Releases March 2011 and nothings changing that. its just Ads for getting you to buy over priced Nvidia Cards. trust me. ATI has more Power in there Cards.

also the Graphics that Crytek have already set for Crysis 2 Look Amazing, there happy with them and so is everyone else.

You don't get it.

They don't have to re-do anything to obtain such functionality.
