Crysis 2 Goes Direct X 11: The Ultra Upgrade, Benchmarked

The discerning PC community was not amused when it became clear that the sequel to Crysis would arrive based on an older DirectX specification than its predecessor. This detraction was a real shame because Crysis 2 is probably a better game than the original, and the negative focus on the API often overshadowed its superlative visuals and solid core game play.

A DirectX 11 patch was rumored from the start, though. And despite whispers that it would never see the light of day, the DirectX 11 Ultra Upgrade arrived on June 27^th, 2011. This is no quick patch job: it doesn’t come as a surprise that Crytek takes bleeding-edge graphics very seriously. The upgrade affects Crysis more than any other DirectX 11 patch we’ve previously seen in a shipping game.

As if that weren’t enough, Crytek added effects to the DirectX 9 code path and released a high-definition texture pack that doubles the resolution of many art assets. It goes without saying that all of this new, free eye candy demands investigation. At Tom’s Hardware, we consider it our duty to take a thorough look and let you know what the update is all about. Though late, is this new stuff worth playing the game over again if you’ve already beaten it? Is it now worth buying if you’ve held off?

Installation

Before we dig in, there are a few caveats and limitations, so listen up. There are actually three patches that need to be applied for all of the visual goodies to work: the Crysis 2 v1.9 patch, the Crysis 2 DirectX 11 patch, and the Crysis 2 High-Resolution Texture Pack.

Both the DirectX 11 patch and High-Resolution Texture Pack require the Crysis 2 v1.9 patch to be pre-installed first. However, these options don’t require each other. You can run DirectX 11 mode without the High-Resolution Texture Pack, and you can run the High-Resolution Texture Pack in DirectX 9 mode, without DirectX 11.

Step 1: The Crysis 2 v1.9 patch (136 MB)
The Crysis 2 v1.9 patch doesn’t bring DirectX 11 to the game itself, but it is a prerequisite for the DirectX 11 patch and High-Resolution Texture Pack. Having said that, this patch does offer users with DirectX 10 or older graphics hardware access to a new, higher graphical level of detail: the Ultra setting. Of course, this option is more challenging for PC hardware compared to the Gamer, Enthusiast, and Extreme toggles to which we were previously limited.

Step 2: The Crysis 2 DirectX 11 patch (545 MB, Download Here)
This is the patch that enables DirectX 11 effects in Crysis 2. Note that DirectX 11 support does not require the High-Resolution Texture Pack. What you should also know is that this patch wreaks havoc on 3D Vision support in our testing, making the in-game menus unreadable and introducing a number of visual anomalies with Nvidia’s stereoscopic technology. The Nvidia representative we talked to claimed that this shouldn’t be the case, but we experienced the same issue on two different machines with both AMD and Intel CPUs and with different GeForce graphics cards. That’s a real disappointment because, without this patch, Crysis 2 is hands-down the most beautiful, engrossing, and picture-perfect 3D experience on the PC.

(Update: We just had the chance to test with Nvidia’s GeForce 275.50 beta driver, which works with 3D Vision and DirectX 11 together. So now you can enjoy Crysis 2 on the PC in a way you simply can’t replicate on a console.)

The bottom line here is that folks who play Crysis 2 with 3D Vision should know that installing the DirectX 11 patch might cause problems. Keep in mind that 3D Vision works fine for us with the v1.9 patch and High-Resolution Texture Pack. Frankly, the impressiveness of Crysis 2’s stereo implementation is far more immersive than the DirectX 11 enhancements.

Step 3: The Crysis 2 High-Resolution Texture Pack (1. 65 GB, Download Here)
The High-Resolution Texture Pack doubles the fidelity of many of the game’s art assets. This requires a 64-bit Windows operating system and a graphics card with at least 768 MB of RAM (although Crytek suggests that a full gigabyte is ideal). Since most mainstream graphics cards today have a gigabyte of RAM, this shouldn’t be a problem for most gamers.

Now that you have an idea what the packages do and how to install them, let’s go over the new features and see what they introduce to the game.

Crysis 2 DirectX 11 patch is out, comparison inside

Update: As expected the Crysis 2 «DX11 Ultra Upgrade» patch and the high-resolution texture pack are now available for download. The update introduces DirectX 11 support as well as graphical improvements to both DX11 and DX9 versions of the game. For more details on the changes read our original post from last Friday below. On a relevant note, there’s also a fan-made Crysis HD texture mod here.

Making good on its promise, Crytek has announced that it will finally add DirectX 11 graphics to Crysis 2. The developer plans to release three separate downloadable add-ons that improve the game’s visual quality alongside patch 1.9 next Monday, June 27. To be clear, although patch 1.9 will enable DirectX 11 support, you’ll have to individually download and install the «DirectX 11 Ultra Upgrade,» «DX11 Tessellation Pack,» and «High Res Textures.»

The DirectX 11 Ultra Upgrade will deliver a host of graphical improvements and performance optimizations for both DX9 and DX11 APIs. After installing the update, folks running Crysis 2 in DX9 will gain real-time local reflections and contacts shadows. In addition to those effects, DX11 platforms will enjoy hardware tessellation, parallax occlusion mapping along with various shadow, water, particle, depth of field, and motion blur enhancements.

To enable hardware tessellation, however, DX11 players will have to download the DX11 Tessellation Pack, which contains pre-tessellated geometries. As its name indicates, the third optional download simply contains high-resolution textures for a variety of assets. Both DX9 and DX11 versions of Crysis 2 will support the snazzier textures, but it’s worth noting that you’ll need a graphics card with at least 1GB of VRAM and a 64-bit OS.

Patch 1.9 will also deliver nearly a dozen gameplay tweaks, including a handful multiplayer bug fixes for issues that caused incorrect stat logging and authentication problems. Another glitch prevented JAW rockets from firing through windows with broken glass. The update will also improve anti-cheat measurements as Crytek has fixed an exploit that allowed players to become immune to vote kicking. We’ve included the full release notes below.

Although they haven’t been officially released yet, a few lucky players managed to download the updates from Crytek’s test environment before the company removed the files from public view. You’ll have to wait until Monday to experience the higher-quality graphics in all their splendor, but you can whet your appetite with six animated GIFs that compare the before and after effects of DX11 Tessellation courtesy of a NeoGaf forum member.

Unfortunately, for every PC gamer that is ecstatic about the DX11 update, we imagine there are two who will shrug it off with a chip on their shoulder. Many PC gamers were disappointed by Crysis 2’s console-biased launch, giving the game an average Metacritic user score of 6.4 out of 10. For those of you who dismissed Crysis 2 as a console port: is the DX11 patch enough to forgive and forget, or is Crytek simply putting tinsel on a dead Christmas tree?

Patches[edit]

Patch 1.9 prepares Crysis 2 for DX11 features and high-resolution textures. Each need to be downloaded and installed separately from the 1.9 patch. They are both included in the Maximum Edition.

Patch 1.9 can be downloaded from here.

DirectX 11 Ultra Upgrade[edit]

The DirectX 11 Ultra Upgrade can be downloaded here.

Included in Maximum Edition.

Included in Maximum Edition.

Features

The High-Resolution Texture Pack doubles the fidelity of many of the game’s art assets.

Requirements

• 64-bit operating system
• DirectX 9-compatible graphics card with 768 MB Video Memory

NTCore 4GB Patch[edit]

Crysis 2 is very memory intensive. This app improves performance for Crysis 2 on 64-bit Windows systems with more than 2GB RAM by allowing it to access up to 4GB RAM.

Modifications[edit]

BlackFire’s Mod 2 and MaLDo HD Textures[edit]

For those who truly want to push Crysis 2’s graphical fidelity to its limits, BlackFire’s Mod 2 and MaLDo HD serves their needs. Note that BlackFire’s Mod 2 require the MaLDo HD mod to be installed and properly configured, on the other hand the MaLDo HD mod can be used alone as it’s meant to improve the vanilla game with higher quality textures, model and bugfixes, a variety of game tweaks etc.

A step by step list of instructions for BlackFire’s mod is available at the mod file’s description on ModDB.

Most of the download links for the MaLDo HD mod on the original blog page are dead. The files can be found elsewhere though, e.g. over at Mod DB and over at gamepressure.

Game data[edit]

In-game general settings.

Configuration file(s) location[edit]

Save game data location[edit]

Every automatic checkpoint save made in the game is saved as a permanent save file. There is no way to delete these files in-game, nor are they ever overwritten on subsequent playthroughs. These files can add up to several hundred megabytes worth of permanent save files if playing through the single-player campaign more than once.

Save game cloud syncing[edit]

In-game general video settings.

In-game advanced video settings.

Field of view (FOV)[edit]

This game uses vertical FOV. See FOV Calculator for help.

Change FOV[3][citation needed]

Create an autoexec.cfg file in the installation folder. Add cl_FOV = 55, which controls the main game world FOV. Add r_DrawNearFOV = 55, which controls the viewmodel FOV. Add pl_movement.power_sprint_targetFOV = 55, which controls the FOV used only when you sprint. Change the default values of 55 to the desired FOV. Note Not a permanent solution. The viewmodel FOV resets to its default value randomly after a few minutes or during certain actions such as dying, and there’s some chance the camera/sprint FOV might reset at certain points as well.

In-game key map settings.

In-game mouse settings.

In-game general gamepad settings.

In-game gamepad layout settings for the player.

In-game gamepad layout settings for vehicles.

Advanced movement and controls[edit]

There are a number of advanced control options that are not taught in the game’s tutorial.^[4] These include:

Hold the sprint button (default ⇧ Shift) while aiming down sights to stabilize your aim (costs suit energy).^[5][4]

Activating armor mode (default Q) while aiming with a gun allows you to zoom in further.

Hold the melee button (default V) for a stronger melee attack (that uses up all suit energy).^[5]

You can also use normal and heavy melee attacks while gliding (sprint + crouch), which leads to a kick.

De-cloak just before firing a weapon, because firing from stealth would drain your energy.

In-game audio settings.

Localizations

Network[edit]

Multiplayer types

Connection types

Ports

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) support status is unknown.

VR support[edit]

Issues unresolved[edit]

Statistic screen[edit]

The statistic-screen in the menu displays that 13 weapon-attachments are findable in single-player but in fact there are only 12. Therefore, it is not possible to achieve «100%».

Issues fixed[edit]

High sensitivity when using assault scope[edit]

When aiming down sights with assault scope mounted on any weapon, the sensitivity will be a lot higher than the one set in the game settings.

Use this mod[8]

Extreme lag while using Nvidia graphics[edit]

When playing Crysis 2 on an Nvidia card, there can be extreme and unexpected lag in the single-player or multiplayer campaign. This is very noticeable while navigating the menu, something that should be instantaneous and direct. If you experience this lag, try switching to windowed mode (Alt+↵ Enter). If this lag now disappears and gameplay is suddenly fast again, the solution is this:

Use display scaling[citation needed]

Open the Nvidia Control Panel program Go to Display > Adjust desktop size and position If necessary, for step 1, select your main display At step 2, view the Scaling tab Select No scaling Select Perform scaling on: Display Notes Make sure your display is capable of scaling the game resolution to its native resolution, if you like to game at weird resolutions. GPU scaling is very useful but under Crysis 2, it introduces an extreme form of lag. Now, play Crysis 2 and see if you notice the difference. This game does not appear to like the Xbox One Controller and will cause severe lag on launch. If you happen to have one plugged in, disconnect it.[citation needed]

Crash to desktop at startup[edit]

The game may freeze up and crash to the desktop without any errors.

Disable Lucid Virtu MVP 2.0[citation needed]

Run the game at screen refresh rate[edit]

The game may set your monitor’s refresh rate to its lowest supported refresh rate when in fullscreen mode, resulting in a lowered FPS when Vsync is on, and heavy screen tearing and/or stuttering even if FPS is high. This issue is separate from the issue capping the frame rate (see The game is capped at 64 FPS), which may also need to be addressed. ^[9]

Override refresh rate set by game[10]
Download 3Dmigoto. Copy the files in the x32 folder to <path-to-game>\bin32\. Open d3dx.ini. Change ;refresh_rate=60 to the desired value, and remove the semicolon (e.g. refresh_rate=144). Change hunting=1 to ;hunting=1 by adding a semicolon. Save the changes and close the file.

Run in DirectX 9[11]

Use Borderless Gaming

Set desktop refresh rate to the maximum your monitor supports. In the video settings, set Fullscreen and Vsync to «No.» Use Borderless Gaming to run the game in a borderless window mode. Mouse position may be off in the menus, simply hit alt+enter twice to fix it. You may want to use a frame limiter such as MSI Afterburner to limit the FPS to your monitor’s refresh rate to prevent wasted GPU power usage.

Disable fullscreen optimizations
Navigate to the bin32 folder in the game’s main directory and locate Crysis2.exe. Right click the exe file and choose Properties. Select the Compatibility tab, and check Disable fullscreen optimizations. Hit apply and the game will now run at your monitor’s native refresh rate.

Windows Defender detects malware-like activity in Crysis 2[edit]

The game will close shortly after starting, and Windows Defender / Microsoft Security Essentials will report to have blocked activity of «VirTool:Win32/CeeInject. gen!FG» malware. However, this is a false positive.

Add the Crysis 2 folder to the exclusion list[12]

Crash to desktop when using MSI Afterburner’s On Screen Display[edit]

Config file edit[13]

Open the MSI On-Screen Display Server program (RivaTuner Statistics Server). Click the plus sign (or newly «add» button) and navigate to where you installed Crysis 2 and add Crysis2.exe Once you have that added go to C:\Program Files (x86)\RivaTuner Statistics Server\Profiles Edit Crysis2.exe.cfg Change EnableDynamicOffsetDetection=0 to EnableDynamicOffsetDetection=1 Change HookDirectDraw=0 to HookDirectDraw=1

Frame rate capped at 100 or 64 FPS, even with V-Sync disabled[edit]

Updates to Windows 10 have resulted in incompatibility with older CryEngine games, which may result in a capped frame rate. Windows 7 is also affected, but only in menus (eg. pause menu). Enabling NULL appears to have no effect under Windows 7.^[14]

Set Low Latency Mode to Ultra[15]
Go to the Nvidia control panel, set Low Latency Mode to Ultra for Crysis 2 in the «Manage 3D Settings» tab and press Apply.

Set max frame rate to 1000 in Nvidia control panel[16]
Go to the Nvidia control panel, set max frame rate to 1000 for Crysis 2 in the «Manage 3D Settings» tab and press Apply.

Apply RTSS framerate limiter[17][18]
Download and install RivaTuner Statistics Server. Run it. Click the «add» button and navigate to where you installed Crysis 2 and add Crysis2.exe. Set framerate limiter to any number (e. g. 200). Minimize (don’t close) the program.

Use Crysis 2 fps cap fix[19]
Download the fix and extract it in <path-to-game>\Bin32\.

In Crysis 2, I cannot «Enable» directx11 : Crysis

In Crysis 2, I cannot «Enable» directx11

» Mon Dec 12, 2011 8:42 pm

So I updated crysis 2 to 1.9, downloaded the two extra updates for directx11, and i launch the game and try to Enable directx11, no cigar. It’s greyed out for some reason. While the game was running (i forgot to close it at the time) i installed the updates for directx11, would that cause it to screw up?. I want to ask before i try to do it the right way of not having crysis 2 running during the patch installations. Thanks in advance.

spider what card are you runing and i can tell you if it directx 11 compatable. but if you cant run directx 11 you can use the high rez pack still. those are both optional for gamers. they are not needed. unless you want to see everything this game has to offer.

ya they moved it to native 64-bit. but it does say something about system ram in the high rez pack. but for directx 11. it says only a directx 11 compatable card.

so i would say to this guy dont upgrade to this add-on. unless your in 64-bit windows.

I have a EVGA Geforce GTX 260, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Amd Phenom II X6 1100T (3. 3ghz) and 16GB’s RAM, let me know what you guys think and thanks for the help so far.

ya that card is fine for directx 9.0c mode you have the right ram and cpu. use the high rez pack only. and you can see the high textures from the directx 9.0 side. your card is fine. but if you want to use directx 11 full support. then go to the gtx 560 card which is the high end brother for the GTX 260 card. or even the GTX 460 card. both of them are 1 gddr5. the cuda cores are the same for both 460 and 560. the only differents is the core gpu clock for the 560 is higher then the 460 its only at 675 and the 560 is at 915. the memery bandwith for the 560 is higher then the 460 it only does, 3600 to the 560, 4100.

i hope that was not to techical. was trying to keep it easy as possiable. and both of those cards run only at 450W and need 2 6×6 pin connectors.

I think this warrants a new thread, as the game has suddenly become what it should have been. That said, the console versions are still awesome. My game has automatically updated through Steam, and I’m now downloading the HD texture pack. I’ve had a quick look in the game without the new textures, and frankly it looks amazing with everything on Ultra. Need to install the textures and play some more before commenting any further.

I had got to the very last bits of the game on my old machine, but have decided to postpone seeing the ending, in favour of playing through again in DX11.

Crytek came through in the end

EDIT: Oh I was playing in DX9 Ultra. Didn’t realise I also had to download the DX11 upgrade seperately to the game update. Should look even better then.

WOW

It is jaw dropping. Without a doubt the best looking video game in history. The depth of field is also very effective — it sometimes almost looks a bit 3D. I may have to invest in one of those new Samsung 3D monitors. I’ve played this game in 3D on the PS3 and it looks great. I can only imagine how good it would be with these graphics. The visuals make the DX9 version look really really rubbish.

The game just came to life. It can now wear the Crysis branding with pride. Oh and it’s running like hot butter too. Amazing. Anyone who can do, do it.

Ah I want to get home and play this!

Video looks awesome!

Roy, you running everything on Ultra?

If so, what spec and does it struggle?

May have to grab another GTX480 from work and run them in SLi for this puppy!

Yeah totally vMax DX11. System is Intel i7 2600K in an Asus Z68 @ 4.4Ghz. 8GB RAM, OCZ Vertex 3 SSD, 2x GTX580 in SLI. No it doesn’t struggle. So far it’s running maxed out at 60fps by vsync. Touch wood. 1920×1200 BTW.

WUT? SRS?

EDIT: Re: updating process. My game (Steam) updated itself, thus enabling DX9 Ultra. Then the DX11 and HD texture packs were linked through the in-game UI. Downloaded them. Ran them (exes) and bingo — best looking game ever.

Incidentally, the 1.9 patch has also solved an issue I was having with this rig in SLI. My old machine had a GTX295 (one card SLI) and I had no SLI bugs at all. With dual GTX580, I was having a shadow bug that meant I had to disable one card. Now I can use SLI with no problems. Hopefully other players who were having Crossfire/SLI issues can now enable it too.

Same gpu config as you, no issues. Maybe I need to ditch this screen..I can definitely notice the difference with the textures though

To be honest just tried it without enabling the other card. Still perfectly playable even without SLI. It’s a bit like the first game where 35-40FPS is perfectly fluid unlike other games at 30FPS which give me a headache. Guessing the motion blue is a help there.

I have 3 displays so typically have to run outside of SLI, which is a bit of a pain, but for this I’ll have to enable SLI, everything else doesn’t need it.

I may get a second 27″ at some point and ditch the 20″s.

Samsung’s 27″ 120hz 3D monitors are out now I think. Pricey but nicey. They’re meant to be amazing. Still ‘only’ 1920×1080 but that’s more than enough at that size with some AA.

Do it.

WOW

It is jaw dropping. Without a doubt the best looking video game in history. The depth of field is also very effective — it sometimes almost looks a bit 3D. I may have to invest in one of those new Samsung 3D monitors. I’ve played this game in 3D on the PS3 and it looks great. I can only imagine how good it would be with these graphics. The visuals make the DX9 version look really really rubbish.

The game just came to life. It can now wear the Crysis branding with pride. Oh and it’s running like hot butter too. Amazing. Anyone who can do, do it.

Does it make it less of a boring game to play? I’m guessing not.

At least it looks pretty now though.

I don’t think it’s boring. It’s pretty action packed. I see where you’re coming from, because I too thought it was pretty rubbish at one stage, but I stuck with it and it got awesome. True story.

My biggest problem with Crysis 2 is it feels like you are shoe-horned down a path whether you like it or not, okay Crysis wasn’t open world but you could at times choose your way through and angle of attack . . .

I guess being used to games like Fallout 3 emphasises the point at just how open a game can be.

Just because it looks better doesn’t make it any less dull, IMO. You know it too!

Also, even with DX11 and high res it doesn’t seem to need 580 SLI, I’ve yet to try it on a single card but in SLI it was screen-tearing all over the shop with V-Sync off.

 

Munson

• Jun 28, 2011

TBH Crysis was open world IMO. It was a massive sandbox. Never understood how people thought it was linear (I know you’re not saying it was linear). You were of course always drawn to an objective but that’s impossible to avoid in a story based shooter. At least you could free roam on the way to the objective. Obviously with some restrictions.

I do agree about Crysis 2. It does feel very very linear almost all the time. It’s a great game still though, and now it looks even better than the original. Crytek have done what we all wanted them to do. It’s quite an important release for PC gaming in general, becuase it shows that some developerds are willing to push the boat out and push PC games forward. It hasn’t happened really since 2007. I for one am pleased, and console gamers should be also IMO.

Well no of course not. If you think it’s dull then the graphical updates would only marginally impress in the short term. I however like the game a lot.

Remember though that it isn’t drawing anywhere near into the distance as Crysis, and doesn’t have the same physics to deal with. Why would you turn off vsync BTW? Screen tearing FTL.

 

Gareth

• Jun 28, 2011

• #31

Well V-Sync (unless I’m mistaken) will basically cap it at 60FPS (depending on monitor), so if you want to see what your rig is capable off it needs to be switched off. I was thinking with everything on max/ultra that 580 SLI may not manage 60FPS but evidently it does.

Crysis wasn’t open world, there were restrictions, open world is Fallout / Just Cause

 

Munson

• Jun 28, 2011

• #32

Yeah for sure mate, but let’s be honest, 60fps capped is all anyone needs? As long as I’m able to hit a constant 60fps I’m happy. I DEFO wouldn’t turn it off just to get more frames (that can’t be seen) and introduce tearing. I will report further findings later on though.

Interesting question — with these new true 120hz panels, I’m guessing vsync will raise the ceiling to 120fps?

 

Gareth

• Jun 28, 2011

I agree with you totally Roy, there is no way I’d run with V-Sync off, I was purely doing it to see what the cards were outputting.

 

Munson

• Jun 28, 2011

• #34

For sure.

OK maybe open world is a bit of a bold statement, but it was pretty far from linear, besides of course having a goal to reach. Don’t even get me started on Fallout 3. Steaming turd of a game that was. Shooting mechanics from 1993. f**king rubbish game lol.

 

Gareth

• Jun 28, 2011

Woahh, don’t go there. Fallout 3 was awesome, I’d rate it the best (overall) game ever tbh, ok it probably isn’t the best shooter but it was MUCH more than that.

 

Munson

Nah man it was rubbish. Horrible mechanics. It never once felt like I was actually wielding a weapon. The aiming had no weight or inertia. It felt like I was pointing a mouse and pressing a button. Plus the UI on PC was awful. That and the fact that people could be set on fire and they continued talking to you, and then the fire went out. LOL!

I concede that it was probably better on console than PC, but even then you can’t forget talking burning people. Show stopper that is. Major league «WTF I’m uninstalling this turd» show stopper.

I don’t doubt it mate, but I wasn’t willing to see past the problems. I’m a shooter fan above anything else. I can’t play a ‘shooter’ that has terrible shooting mechanics. It passed me by for that sole reason, and TBH I don’t feel like I missed out.

I have a low frame rate and/or stuttering after having DX11 and/or High-Res Textures packages installed on my machine – what can I do?
This largely depends on your hardware and software setup. Please make sure you meet the system requirements suggested in this FAQ. Additionally we recommend having your hard drive defragmented and your video drivers updated to the latest version.

If you have both packages activated, try running the game with only one enabled. It might be that your system cannot handle the increased hardware requirements.

Trying to lower the other available graphic options in the menu might improve the situation.

 

Can I turn off DX11 and/or High-Res Textures ingame?
To deactivate DX11, please navigate to “Options” and select “Disabled” for DX11
To deactivate High-Res Textures, please navigate to “Advanced Graphic Options” and select “No” for High-Res Textures.

Which Crysis 2 version is required in order to install the DX11 and/or High-Res Textures packages?
To install any of the packages you would need to have Crysis 2 updated to version 1.9. You can download it from here.

Is there a specific order in which I need to install patch 1.9 and/or any of the optional packages (DX11 & High-Res)?
Once you have updated Crysis 2 to patch 1.9 you can install any of the optional packages in any order you like.

My game crashes with DX11/Hi-Res installed, why is this?
Due to the increased stress that these additional packages place on your system, this can cause unstable hardware to crash. If your system has an overclocked video card (factory or software) please try lowering the clock speeds to allow the graphics card to become more stable.

Crysis 2: DirectX 11 details

Barely three months have passed since the release of the game, and Crytek, with its characteristic modesty, has presented what it promised a long time ago. Something that will make the cooling systems on your graphics cards melt. Something that will turn Crysis 2 into a true PC-shooter, every patch of which is smeared with cutting-edge effects.

Some three months have passed since the release of the game, and Crytek, with its usual modesty, has presented what it promised a long time ago. Something that will make the cooling on your graphics cards melt. Something that will turn Crysis 2 into a true PC-shooter, every patch of which is smeared with cutting-edge effects. Something that was no longer believed: DirectX 11 Ultra Upgrade. More precisely, not himself, but a web page with a description of future changes and a demonstration of screenshots that visually confirm the difference «before» and «after»: www.mycrysis.com/dx11.

The exact release date of DirectX 11 Ultra Upgrade is not indicated, but it is already known that it improves not only the quality of graphics, but also provides optimization in terms of performance. It is noted that users of the outdated DX9 API will also benefit from the new update, thanks to the improved system of reflections and shadows. But all the delights will be seen, of course, by the owners of modern graphics accelerators. An update called Tessellation Package adds tessellation effects and numerous improvements regarding shadows, water, particles and other technologies that transform the usual picture. The second High Res Textures update pack is designed equally for DX9, and for DX11, but its installation requires a 64-bit operating system and a video card with at least 1GB of memory.

Crysis 2 how to disable directx 11

Updated: 09/30/2022

I can’t disable the DX11 function in Crysis 2
I choose to disable it, it says disabled, I save it, I exit Crysis 2, I go back and in the settings everything is as it was.
How to disable it, I tried to cut this file and folders The patch helped, but I’m not sure that Crysis 2 will work correctly after that.

It feels like DX11 is bothering you a lot. Whether it is enabled or not, you won’t see much of a difference. Everything depends on your card. If it supports DX11, then what’s the matter with this, if not, then even more so.

Crysis 2 in DX11 mode — «FPS devourer»

Owners of DirectX 11 graphics accelerators have probably already seen a video that clearly demonstrates all the benefits of update 1.9 for Crysis 2. Recall that in addition to patch 1.9 itself, additional packages are available for download to support DX11 and to improve texture quality. Today we’ll talk about how the installation of all these updates will affect the number of frames per second (FPS).

Before proceeding to testing, let’s remind once again what will cause an inevitable drop in performance in the shooter Crysis 2.

Improving the quality of textures.

Depth of field effects.

Improved reflection system.

Of course, this is not a complete illustration of all the graphic innovations of update 1.9.

New image quality controls have appeared in the settings.

Now about the built-in DX11 benchmark. After updating Crysis 2 to version 1.9, a folder with a benchmark appeared in the directory with game levels.

The contents of this folder should replace the files in the «Downtown» folder. We call the Fraps utility to measure the cherished FPS and launch Crysis 2. To test, you need to call the console by pressing the tilde (

— right under Esc) and type «map downtown», of course, not forgetting to press the F11 key after that (by default, Fraps activates the mode frames per second).

We used MSI Z68A-GD80 motherboard, 2 x 4 GB Kingston HyperX RAM (KHX1600C9D3X2K2/8GX), IKONIK Vulcan 1200W PSU and Core i7-2600K processor overclocked to 4 .7 GHz. The test stand was controlled by the Windows 7 Ultimate x64 operating system.

The PCshop Group provided us with a dozen DirectX 11 graphics adapters for testing.

Testing was carried out in two modes:

• Maximum graphics quality, 1920×1080, DirectX 9;
• Maximum graphics quality, 1920×1080, DirectX 11.

Crysis 2 upgrade fee to DirectX 11 was very high. The new DirectX 11 Ultra Upgrade almost halves the FPS value compared to the DirectX 9 mode. The use of video cards from the GeForce GTX 560 Ti and higher can be considered acceptable. For a comfortable shooting of monsters, it is still better to use the GeForce GTX 570/580/590 or Radeon HD 6990.

The updated Crysis 2 may encourage some gamers to upgrade their PC’s graphics subsystem. Owners of flagship single-chip and dual-chip graphics cards have nothing to worry about. Their monsters under the load of DirectX 11, of course, caved in, but the level of FPS they provide remains in the comfort zone.

Crysis 2: Maximum Edition: Trainer/Trainer (+13) [1.9.0.0 Steam/Origin]

Did you check the author yourself? And then I fell into a pirate to download.

In general, in Crucis 2, the Shaders format is .CFIB

well, there is also the .FXCB 9 format0003

this is crap. don’t be stupid.

of course crap, if dx11 came out, everyone would have been trumpeting this for a long time.

Patch dx11 posted somewhere. on the dev blog! We put the files in the game folder Fake

The author, you are somehow muddy.

did I not understand the meaning of this deception? or did the author mess up something himself?) Z.Y. And I will be banned o5 for such a post.

Damn no one in the world knows about any patch «laid somewhere by the developers». The author stupidly wanted to raise his rating with a fake file, he should be banned for this. Although no, it’s not about the rating. the author’s profile is also fake, he does not need a rating. Most likely a deliberate sabotage, or a test of the vigilance of moderators and editors, which they successfully screwed up.

boys, download only owners of vidyuhi 4xx and higher nvidia) and screw up because there is no off patch)) and it should come out with patch 1.3

Officially, the patch did not reach

I found in the magazine that dx 11 for this game will be disappointing in terms of optimization, the minimum requirements will rise to i5 4x and gtx 460 recommended i7 3gg gtx 570 owners. The release is planned for the end of summer. Also, along with the patch, there will be an addition (several missions). And now! Divorce of all who bought and downloaded the patch, it will be paid. Reason.

NICK-el No more 281! O_o

What are you doing! Let them download it, but then don’t complain that their game has crashed)))

DX11 is a bug, not a new card! About optimization. perhaps you are right! I think even on 2x 480x and i7 processor, there will be no smooth game with FPS 80-120!

yeah, like 320 idiotav — adyn ya — Dartagnan! Guys who downloaded, write about the content, I think it’s clear that this is not a DX11 patch, but there is something in the archive, I wonder what? cookies?)

327 you suckers, my dx11 is working))))))))))))

In general, did someone enter the serial number himself from the flashlight? Tell me.

ha-ha-ha-ha-ha. 361 who downloaded

384 who downloaded I fucking what kind of people are there

these 391 who downloaded didn’t even read the comments) debilodera)))

The best way to check if it’s not a scam is to see if there’s a lot of smoke in there.

Svyatoslav-ProGamer, why the hell check? a DX11 patch will be released at the end of the summer. It was already mentioned in the video digest.

already 401 fools.. not bad.

Well, who has modern video cards.

All 422 downloaded users can’t write anything now. These files burned their hardware. 9. Owners of modern video cards with support for Microsoft DirectX 11 will be able to admire improved graphics: better motion blur, improved water animation, more realistic shadows and penumbra, and many other nice improvements. But the most important advantage of the new mode will be tessellation — smoothing and complicating geometric models due to a huge increase in the number of polygons. So, for example, the bricks in the walls will now get a real volume. Also, the developers have added a special level that will help test the performance of the computer in DirectX 11 mode.

474 not well, this is too much moderators, delete the file, otherwise it will reach 1000!

eight processors and sixteen video cards against Cryssis 20001

Today on Guru3D an entertaining article has appeared, telling about the unequal battle between modern (and not so) processors and video cards with the game Crysis 2 in the DirectX 11 mode.

I will not go into a junction of history, but the situation with Kraisis 2 until recently was as follows — the game waited, the game is expected. waited a long time, strongly hoped that it would bring something new in terms of graphics to the electronic entertainment industry … but few people were pleased with the release. Due to multiplatform or for some other reason, the novelty was not only not in DX11, but not even in DX10 (like the first part, released almost 4 years ago) mode — DX9 was involved in the game, which few people could have expected. The developers for quite a long time fed the public with promises about the release of a patch that allows you to run the game in DX11, and now, finally, this patch (and at the same time a set of high-resolution textures) has been released. In today’s material, we will find out what modern gaming hardware is capable of in Crysis 2, fully charged.

mode and in DX11. It is assumed that we will notice the difference between them with the naked eye, but I believe in this weakly .. however, now we will see everything (or not see it).

The first screenshot is DX9, the second is DX11, is there a difference? There probably is, but it doesn’t catch my eye personally. The road got prettier, became less flat, that’s all.

Look further:

The author of the material indicates where to look — at the shadows from the fence and the pier along with water, it is said that in DX11 mode the whole thing looks a little more detailed.

9000 Parallax Occlusion Mapping and Tessellation.

. I would not refuse, but so far — no luck.

The following animated screenshot speaks for itself:

By visual comparison, Gilbert recognizes Crysis 2’s DX11 mode as a step up from DX9. I can hardly tell the difference most of the time. Hmm.. soon we will find out how much all this new beauty costs the user’s PC.

The first graph shows the difference in performance between DX9 and DX11 game modes for the Radeon HD 6870 X2 video card (you can read its review here):

Taking into account the fact that the test measurement was carried out with 4xAA, the difference of 10-15% does not seem particularly terrible, the performance drop is not so great.

Next, it turns out the processor dependence of Crysis 2. The video card is still the same — Radeon HD 6870 X2, only the processor and motherboard change.

• Phenom II X4 980 (motherboard based on 990FX chipset)
• Phenom II X4 980 (4300 MHz) (motherboard based on 990FX chipset)
• Phenom X6 1100T (890FX based motherboard)
• Core i7 965 (Motherboard based on X58 chipset)
• Core i7 965 (3750MHz) (Motherboard based on X58 chipset)
• Core i7 2600K (Motherboard based on Z68 chipset)
• Core i7 2600K (4600MHz) (Motherboard based on Z68 chipset)
• Athlon X4 645 (890FX based motherboard)

A cloned OS image was used for the test (i. e. the operating system, game and drivers were the same, depending on the platform, of course). As for the RAM, we used 6 or 8 GB DDR-1600 in three and two-channel modes. The settings in the game were set to the following: DX11 / Ultra / HQ Textures.

All attention on graphs, they are compiled for all the most frequently used in the game of resolutions:

As you can see, the game is quite lively to the processor, up to it. the highest resolution. At 2560×1600 everything depends on the video card, so the processor plays an insignificant role in this «resolution».

Next, we are shown the timedemo that was used in the tests:

The settings for testing video cards were as follows: 4xAA, Ultra quality mode, by itself DX11. A set of high-resolution textures was installed, but the option to improve AA was turned off (I don’t know exactly what it is called in the Russian version of the game, but in English — Edge AA Enhancement), the latter was done due to the fact that there were reports of some then bugs when this «feature» is activated.

Here is the list of graphics cards that were tested:

• GeForce GTS 450
• GeForce GTX 470
• GeForce GTX 480
• GeForce GTX 560 Ti
• GeForce GTX 570
• GeForce GTX 580
• GeForce GTX 590
• Radeon HD 5770
• Radeon HD 5870
• Radeon HD 6770
• Radeon HD 6850
• Radeon HD 6870
• Radeon HD 6870 X2
• Radeon HD 6950
• Radeon HD 6970
• Radeon HD 6990

For Geeforces, driver 275.33 WHQL is used, and for Radeons, 11.6 WHQL with Catalyst Application Profile 11. 6 CAP2 installed to support multi-GPU. The Guru3D test bench has not changed for a long time, we are well acquainted with it: MSI Big bang XPower (Intel X58), 6GB Corsair 1600MHz DDR3, Core i7 965 @ 3750MHz.

Just like in the case of CPU testing, video cards will be tested in four main resolutions.

Until the resolution of 2560×1600 of the graphics cards (the best half of them), well, well, then without a powerful SLI or CROSFIX not enough.

Conclusions Performance will certainly drop compared to playing in DX9 mode, but not as much as many expected. Changes in the graphics will affect the quality of shadows, adding tessellation, post-processing effects, depth of field — in other words, the toy after the patch began to look much more interesting.

To enjoy the new beauties of Crysis 2, you need to update the game to version 1. 9, then roll out a patch with support for DX11 and install a high-resolution texture pack. All this grace is available completely free of charge, you can download it directly from the Guru3D website. Before updating, you should find out which version of Crysis 2 you have installed — disk (which was bought on DVD) or from services such as Steam. If the first — feel free to update the game to version 1.9 with the patch located at the link above, if the second — you will need to update the game through the online service where it was purchased and only after that roll DX11 (the so-called DirectX 11 Ultra Upgrade) and PACK textures of high permissions (in this regard, both versions of the game do not differ).

The author of the material from Guru3D calls Crysis 2 one of the most beautiful games of 2011 (taking into account the DX11 patch), he sincerely hopes that none of us have yet gone through the creation of Crytek11 to the end, because without DX11 this shooter is not so good visually.
