I purchased Crysis last holiday season from Steam and have waited to play it until I upgraded my GPU. I finally upgraded my GPU and now I want to give Crysis a try for the first time to see if I can push it to the maximum. I've played Warhead and Crysis 2 and never had a problem with my OSD while using Precision at that time. With Precision and Afterburner pretty much being the same program I've went with Afterburner because it seems simpler to use.
 
I was using the v2.3.1 version of Afterburner when I started playing Crysis yesterday, but I couldn't get the OSD to show anything. Searching the net I've read that there was some issue with 32bit vs 64bit and some posted workarounds, but I also read that more recent BETAs of Afterburner should work. I've installed the v4.0.0 version of Afterburner but still no OSD.
 
I know this issue goes back in time, but if anyone has any ideas I'd like to hear them.
 
Thanks _ D.B.

I'm assuming here you're talking about using OSD in Crysis3.  I just tested it out and the OSD functions is working properly.
 
When you installed AB, did you also install the optional Riva Tuner which is required for OSD functionality?
Did you put check mark's next to the items you want monitored in the OSD in the properties menu under the monitoring tab?  And then also check mark the box that says "show in on screen display" on the same properties page for monitoring?
 
If you do all the above things, the OSD feature should work for you...
 
Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions...
 

I'm talking about the original 2007 Crysis. My young friend who built my first computer for me back in 2008 showed me what the original Crysis looked like on his computer and I was impressed. At the time Ben built my computer, I was not interested that much in gaming and just wanted a good all-around computer so I could get my foot in the door of computing. I'm an older guy, but eventually my young friend convinced me to try to play Half Life 2, I did, and I've been hooked ever since. I now build my own computers and I picked up the original Crysis last year at a great price, and because I've always read how it was a very demanding game, and also a good game designed for PC's, I thought I'd give it a shot, but I like having the OSD working so I can adjust my settings as needed.
 
 
ps_ I've been using Precision or Afterburner for a couple of years and know how to set them up. I monitor all of the games I play using the OSD as I like to keep an eye on temps and fan.

I miss older games like Crysis 1 and Far Cry 2. They all had Physics. New games like Far Cry 4 completely lack a sense of immersion. Throw a grenade, it explodes. In Far Cry 2 and Crysis that grenade can blow up an entire shack.

+1 for Physics and being able to take a tree down.

Ahh. Ok.  Looks like you have a possible solution from the link Kidcrumb supplied.  Hope it works for you...
 
I've got the original Crysis laying around here somewhere.  Haven't thought about that game in a long time...
