Xigmatek: Famous Crysis Modder

[sleepysheep]

The chance is very high actually. Midrange cards are those around $200 for me.

Just look at what the shrink from 55nm to 40nm (-37,5% structure size) did. A midrange hd5850 clearly beat the high end nv card at that time: the gtx285 - and that one had quite the edge over a hd4890 of ATIs last gen.

40nm to 28nm means an even bigger decrease in structure size: -42,8%. Time to double the cores again - I'll bet on at least 50% increase in performance for midrange cards.

Oh and micro stutters in some games and the price of the cards aren't the only disadvantages. You also have to buy a more expensive PSU, MB and pay a higher power bill. Oh and the noise, ugh (unless you invest in an even more expensive water cooling system...) - I'll stay with single cards. Twice the performance means like 5 times the price if you don't like a turbine right under your desk...

Well you would be buying an expencive PSU just so it doesn't die and blow everything in your PC anyway And all mid range (Hell even some cheap) MB are crossfire and SLI these days. Can't argue with the noise and the extra power though. I have to put my music from the PC through to my hifi, just so it's loud enough lolz.

No one knows how much faster the new cards are going to be. But from a business perspective, it makes no sence to bring out a load of cards that are cheap and are twice as good as everything else before it. So either it's gonna be really expencive, or not quite as fast as you want it to be. But hey, maybe they will, just as long as it's next year sometime so I can enjoy my 580's being the best for a little bit longer!


But anyway, I don't see why the devs can't stick fancy effects on, on the max settings only. So people like myself can enjoy weeing everytime I hit a mech. And everyone else that can't run max setting's won't care since they will never notice any difference. Assuming it doesn't take much effort to do!

I love that the first response is from Shadowkiller, who leads this area, and he bashes this guy he doesn't even know. Get off the high horse buddy, having help, any help would be beneficial to any project. And this post wasn't a challenge to your work, or others, but just the OP saying this guy would be interested in helping. If it were me, I'd get in contact with him. But than again that is just me!

OP, that is very cool. I've seen what that guy has done with Crysis 2 as well. Amazing talent in what he does.

Im not trying to bash him at all, he does make great particles and if you read all my posts i said im more then happy to have him help out and show him how some of the stuff for mwll is set up. That still doesnt change the fact that the performance impact of those kinda of particles in his vids are just too much for mwll to handle. It has nothing to do with his skills as a modder at all. Those particles in his videos look fantastic but there is much more going on behind the scenes then alot of people realize. They only reason why i said i wasnt impressed is because those are essentially stock crysis explosions with the sprite counts jacked way up. Something that anyone can do. Im not trying to insult anyone here, im just being honest and stating the facts.

Sorry, just a quick off topic post here

Shadowkiller, I have a small request for you.

When you post her, would you be so kind as to make some spaces and paragraphs in your texts?
The wall of text you have posted in this thread so far are difficult to read, and it tends to all blend together. 

Some space will make things easier to read.

I don't think the intention was "BRING THIS GUY ON AND USE THESE EFFECTS" I think it was just an example of his work (which you all require) and it does show his talent. What that vid has to do with MWLL is beyond me. Perhaps you're looking at it from the wrong angle?

I believe the idea here was to maybe have this guy come and work on MWLL.
The videos shown have nothing to do with MWLL , but are only examples of his work which was intended to show what he can do.

They are apparently too performance intensive for MWLL, but that dont mean the guy cant adapt and work within the confines of the engine that Crysis wars use.

The way I see it is that is cant hurt to talk to the guy and figure out if he can in fact adapt and if he are willing to come work on this mod.
