Annoying blinking in crysis

ryane24 · 02-27-2008, 04:19 AM

I just built my new system and bought crysis with it. Ive been fooling around with the graphics settings in crysis for like an hour and the game runs pretty well with most settings on very high. The only issue is that objects in the distance blink or flash, mainly just the trees and the sky. So i was like alright ill lower the settings until it doesnt do that anymore, and umm....it was still doing it with all the settings on medium. Help please?

Are you running SLI? ive had problems with flashing and blinking in games that i run using SLI, and from what i have read it seems to be a fairly common problem. You should also post your Gfx card so people know which one your talking about

well its not sli but there is multiple GPU's. I have the VisionTek Radeon 3870X2.

I was almost thinking that it might be that the dvd drive isnt fast enough or something. Just a guess. Because no matter what setting its on it still does it. And my dvd drive is definetly nothing special.

nah computers dont read optically they read from hd. The Cd needs to be in there cause it gay copy right protection.

Well ive played more crysis now and when your in battle it really lags on very high settings. Im kind of dissapointed. After spending 2000$ on a computer i figured i would be able to run anything on the highest settings with a good frame rate. Maybe theres something i havent configured right yet or something....

What are the specs for your computer? And Crysis is very hard to run on very high. Graphics dont rly make a game. In my opinion Tf2 Apsoloutly Dominated Crysis.
