Maximum Optimized mod for Crysis

Maybe final version. Found new tweaks like occlusion culling, or shadows calculated more on Gpu then Cpu.

What you may want to change:

e_lod_min. In config at 1. For max geometry detail, write 0. Also change e_lod_ratio to 4 or more. (6 s max)

r_cloudsdebug. in config at 1 (less gpu hungry). Less clouds. For more clouds, write 0 (vannila). Also change e_obj_quality to 3 for max clouds quality. You can also try r_cloudsdebug 2. Less clouds than 0 but more than 1.

e_gsm_range_step_terrain. If you are playing game in 64bit try to change it to 4. (no more clouds flickering)

cl_fov. Default 60. More adds frames but also reducing objects draw distance. Im using 55 on 2560x1080p monitor.

e_vegetation_min_size. More rocks and vegetation in general. Default Very high is 0. Gpu and cpu heavy

r_LightsSinglePass. For Dx9 set to 1( less lag, mostly in first level), but! if you are using some kind of supersampling, particles will be more gpu heavy. For Dx10 write 0.

e_particles_min_draw_pixels. The higher the value, the faster particles dissapear (more performance). Too high number will mess up laser dot. Reasonable is 4 or max 6. Default is 0.

mfx_ParticleImpactThresh. Default 2. Again the higher the number, the faster the physics will be. Too high value and you will loose physics sound. I have only six cores cpu, so i set it to 6. Feel free to experiment

FAN PATCH:

Github.com

This patch improves Cpu performance. For me it fixed some lag mainly on last level. Now i can play in 64bit mode, so better utilization of memory and cpu performnce also allowing having more vegetation on screen. But still Dx10 has slower physics.

G-Sync: Turn off in-game V-sync, and set it in Nvidia Control Panel to Fast and then set Max FPS there to your monitor´s refresh rate. At least this done the trick for me

MFAA: Should double the quality of anti-aliasing, with smaller perf. hit than with true doubled quality (2xAA will look like 4xAA as close as posxsible). The AA must be enabled in-game to make it work tho:))

API:

DirectX 10 has more optimized anti-aliasing and should have better Cpu utilization, but only with fast Ryzen or equivalent.

DirectX 9 has faster physics and works best with processors like Phenom. Also if you are user of Nvidia Inspector, you can have SGSSAA (beautiful).
