Fudzilla: Phenom II runs Crysis at 6.2GHz

Fuad Abazovic writes: "Almost always stable."

"We've seen Phenom II, Deneb overclocked all the way to 6.2GHz. This was not a screenshot boot, we've seen it with our own eyes as chaps from AMD managed to run the Crysis benchmark several times. The machine was stable on almost every run."

Why is it impracticle? Also the headline says it runs Crysis at 6.2GHZ but they dont show any proof of it running the game at 6.2GHZ nor do they publish the results. I dont believe this.But if AMD does manage to get one better than Intel I will return back to AMD. Until then I will keep my Intel CPU.

Lord Anubis6034d ago

unless you are running a laboratory or you are a real hardcore PC gamer there's no reason to use those cooling methods to get those speeds.

SnprSlick6034d ago

I like how it never mentions the fact that they used liquid nitrogen to cool the flipping thing.

shazam6034d ago

so theyre running crysis at 6.2 billion frames per second? the poster needs to go back to school. that headline makes so little sense it just pi$ses me off.

"so theyre running crysis at 6.2 billion frames per second? the poster needs to go back to school. that headline makes so little sense it just pi$ses me off."

You just owned yourself. Maybe YOU should go back to school... Hertz (symbol: Hz) is a measure of frequency, informally defined as the number of cycles occurring per second. Doesn't have to be JUST frames.

@below

You are probably right (English isn't my first language) but to me it sounded right, but I see your point. I got the impression that shazam thinks Hz always means fps. "regular 60Hz" don't forget it's not 60Hz everywhere in the world ;)

This tittle doesn't make any god damn sense. So they OC the damn chip and run Crysis at 6.2 GHz...AND??? AND what?? Where's the benchmark??

Rapture3336033d ago (Edited 6033d ago )

I work at a computer store and my boss has a Core 2 Duo clocked to 7.2GHz, no lie.

Oh btw it's running on liquid cooling with 3 radiators from a build in case. The case is the Thermaltake Gandolf.

Man, Liquid Nitrogen. That's pretty hard-core.

Silvia0076034d ago

Now you can flash freeze all sorts of cool stuff while you use your pc.

TheIneffableBob6034d ago

And you'll make those cool things even cooler!

kyleg6034d ago

the bus speed says 200.4 mhz that sucks. AMD sucks

steve30x6033d ago

I would love to have public bus services that go 200.4mph lol

When are the Phenom IIs releasing?

Depending on how they're priced compared to the current X4's, I'll consider them. Otherwise I'll just stick with the 9950.

23478ueyur_9382235995d ago

Phenom II 920 is fairly priced and now available. Getting it most likely

Can you run Crysis in VR? Crysis VR Mod Available for Download

Holger Frydrych has just released a cool VR Mod for the 2007 version of Crytek's first-person shooter, Crysis.

Playing it right now looks amazing! :D
so much fun, i hope they make a vr mod for crysis 2 / 3 too!

DivineHand125139d ago

This is amazing. This is the direction VR should go in to boost adoption. Since I have beaten every Crysis except 1, this is now a good excuse to correct that problem.

Crytek Wanted Crysis To Be "Future-Proof"

According to Crytek CEO Cervat Yerli, "I want[ed] to make sure Crysis does not age, that [it] is future proofed, meaning that if I played it three years from now, it should look better than today." Yerli and the team designed Crysis' highest graphical settings for the PC hardware of 2010 and beyond.

While Crytek has officially announced Crysis 4 is in development, nothing new has surfaced. For now, gamers' only way to scratch that itch is to play the Crysis Remastered Trilogy available on PC and consoles.

OG 2007 Crysis (not the remastered weirdo), is & will forever be a legend amongst the PC community.

PrinceOfAnger144d ago

This video will always be impressive to me, even for years to come. Some things here are better than games we have today, OG crysis is the best version!

RaidenBlack144d ago

OG Crysis physics, man ... amazing! Thanks for the reminder!

PrinceOfAnger143d ago (Edited 143d ago )

Looks really nice with VR mod too

FinalFantasyFanatic143d ago

I'm still shocked that it looks as good as it does today, puts some modern games to shame.

Profchaos142d ago

I thought the remaster was fine tbh some rough edges at launch but after some patches it's decent

isarai143d ago

I mean the lighting and physics still hold up extremely well. I still revisit it from time to time.

RedDeadLB143d ago

That CPU performance thing is preventing it.

isarai142d ago

Yeah unfortunately Crystek's decision to bet on the linear progression of clock speed in CPUs was derailed by the unforseen shift towards multicore CPUs. It just wasn't built with that in mind because that wasn't even in the conversation at the moment

DivineHand125143d ago

I remember when I tried to play Crysis with my Intel Pentium Dual core E2200 @2.2GHz , 4GB ram and GeForce 9400gt. I was a kid back then and that was the best I could do. I would get about 15 to 20 fps. When I over clocked the CPU to 2.8GHz I would get about 40fps. The experience wasn't good at all and it was the only PC game I could not run back then unless and put the settings on low. At that point the game went from cutting edge graphics to PS2 graphics. To this day I haven't completed the OG Crysis. I was able to complete Crysis 2 and 3 after building a new PC when I got my first job.

HyperMoused143d ago

Never played it, worth a try you think?

Profchaos142d ago (Edited 142d ago )

Worth a try just because it's the only game that lets you pick up a turtle on the beach and throw it at enemy soldiers that should have been a back of the box feature.

But nah seriously unless you're nostalgic for it I'm not sure if it will hold up

Crytek went so overboard on the Crysis tech and sent devs to photograph leaves in Haiti

"The shader work that came out of this was mind-blowing at times."

RaidenBlack156d ago

Amazing, often misunderstood
The dumb AI was deliberate, so that the players can explore and experiment with the world and all the features.

vTuro24155d ago

It really is. Most people only remember it for its graphics but the gameplay was equally amazing.

RaidenBlack156d ago

Hope they try to pour nearly same amount of dedication to the new Crysis 4

DefenderOfDoom2156d ago

Well worth the extra work ! I enjoyed all 3 Crisis games and would also love a new one .

JunonZanon156d ago (Edited 156d ago )

Still wish game development was overall this passionate and minutious about their projects. Obviously, there are still some great studios as exceptions.

LikAChicken155d ago

I’ll never forget Far Cry 2 and the amount of details they packed in.

Yea there were some issues with the gameplay loop and the sickness aspect but you could tell they really tried to nail details.

DivineHand125155d ago

I haven't beaten the first Crysis but I did play Crysis 2 and Crysis 3. I know some PC players were annoyed by the last 2 games being developed with consoles in mind but I believe it was an improvement. I had a great time with Crysis 3 to the point where I believe it was too short.
