AI Thread Summary
To display the framerate in Crysis 2, players are seeking the console command similar to the first Crysis, where "r_displayinfo=1" was used. However, it appears that the final version of Crysis 2 may have disabled this feature. Users report that Crysis 2 runs more smoothly than the original, with one player successfully using dual HD 5870 graphics cards to achieve high performance on extreme settings at 1920x1080 resolution. There are also mentions of a graphical glitch causing flickering bright lights, including the sun. Optimization tips shared include creating separate partitions for Windows and games, managing page file settings, and disabling unnecessary background services to enhance gaming performance. Despite the age of the hardware, some users claim they can run current games at maximum settings without issues.

I remember the command for the first Crysis being r_displayinfo=1

But what do I type into the console to display my framerate in Crysis 2? I bought the full game from best buy yesterday.

I can run the game very smoothly on the "extreme" preset on 1920x1080 with no noticeable slowdowns. I have Two HD 5870's in CF. Crysis 2 is much easier to run than the first Crysis.

Off-topic, but there is a graphical glitch where bright lights in the game (including the sun) are constantly flickering. What could be causing this?

OK, we get it, you have a nice computer. We got that from your first thread.

Before I post another lmgtfy, Google is your friend.

Well I can't help you with the FPS command, seems they have disabled it in the final version of the game. But also you are using dual video cards to run it smooth like that? I say it was a waste of money, I am running the game on all Extreme settings including 4xMSAA and 16xAnIso and getting completely smooth gameplay.

My setup is nothing new, its a Core 2 Duo 3.0, 4gig 1333 DDR3 ram, GeForce 260 GTX 896mb, Win XP SP3.
What I do to optimize my games and performance is this (take note):
-created a partition for Windows (C:\ drive)
-created a separate partition for games to install (D:\ drive)
-created a small 3gb partition at the start of the physical disk (G:\ drive), using Partition Magic.
-C:\ drive has a static page file (minimum & maximum size is the same) of 4gigs
-G:\ drive has a static page file of 3gig (the whole partition) for extra page memory
-D:\ drive (games drive) is defragmented with O&O Defrag, it has a method called "Complete\Name" deframenting, which re-arranges all files and folders alphabetically, which means every file of the game is side-by-side for fastest possible access

I think that's about it. I disable all useless things running in Windows background, disable any services running which don't have to (like itunes background programs, any antivirus, firewall, etc), make it so those need to be turned on manually because they all waste memory in Windows and makes games have less.

I can still run all current games on absolute maximum settings, smooth, and my system is basically 3 years old, and graphics card is i think 2 years old :)



Now why did you make this original post on a physics board and not some gaming forum? hah. and i registered just to reply you this ;p
 
This week, I saw a documentary done by the French called Les sacrifiés de l'IA, which was presented by a Canadian show Enquête. If you understand French I recommend it. Very eye-opening. I found a similar documentary in English called The Human Cost of AI: Data workers in the Global South. There is also an interview with Milagros Miceli (appearing in both documentaries) on Youtube: I also found a powerpoint presentation by the economist Uma Rani (appearing in the French documentary), AI...
