I try running in 1280x800 also on my 7950GTX but as far as i'm concerned it still runs laggy in forest scenes. This is with medium settings. I've given up on this game. I can run Stalker 1920x1200 all options turned to high and it runs better. Looks better too at that res.

Can you read?!?!? He said with a 8800 also.

it should run decently on 8800m SLI provided the drivers work. the 8800m's are 256-bit cards, pretty close in specs to the desktop 9600GT.

you run Crysis in Native on a wuxga with everything on High on a m1730 SLi 8800GTX... no doubt about that

no, you can not run 1920X1200 on high setting. It is not so good even with my system spec of X9000 @3.4GHz + 8800M SLI. maybe around 30 FPS.

I see what you're saying now.

I beg to differ, with all the eye candy on at 19x12, put yourself in the underground bunker with all the shadows, the card will choke, even with an OC

I finished the game on my 7900gs @ 1024x768(stock I dint know it was!) with some tweaked cfg files with 25-30fps + some stutters on low/med settings, I upgraded to fx2500 with clocks on 550/750 and now I can do all medium settings at around the same fps @ 1280x800, infact using tweaked cfg files lowered my fps, just plain simple in game medium settings worked better for me, I benched a lot of settings using the crysis benchmarking tool from guru3d, I would suggest that , everyone should just bench their comp with different settings and see which one works well, but I must say even on medium the game looks awesome, some of the best graphics I have seen so far.

Do you guys enable AA setting? I don't really like the AA and always disable it.
For M1730 with X9000 and 8800M SLI, setting with 1920X1200 0XAA and all med setting is the ebst so far. I can run HIGH setting, but ti wasn't smooth even I OCing the X9000 @ 3.4GHz. The MEDIUM setting is actually good already.

do not enable aa, the only difference you will see is the performace drop, maybe some 2x/4xaf also try enabling edge AF it is good visually without all the performance drop, even maxed out desktop systems have problem running on high at 19xx X 1xxx resolutions so honestly I dont think crysis can be run on higher than medium/high setttings on current notebooks

vertical sync locks ur fps at the refresh rate of the monitor, I only turn it off when I'm benchmarking, it actully would be useful to turn it on to avoid spikes and stablise the fps.

oh its no news flash, im well aware of what the 8700's have. i'm not going to get into the whole my card is better than yours deal, but i wouldnt say the 7800 is a better card because of the bus. you would just think that the newer cards would have better performance in a dx10 game than a 78--series card. and remember, you're running at dx9, for the most part (at least me) 8700's run it on dx10.

and graphics capabilties aside, i wasnt really that impressed with the game anyway, it wasnt bad, but not like "omg! i must play this forever!" hell , give me some deus ex or doom 3 and i'd take it over this! but that's just me. and as we all know, opinions are like as"*&#)#@ everyones got one. some are just stinkier than others!

the 7800 handles games at higher res than the 8700 because of it's 128 bit bus.

although the 7800 being older gen the 8700 might make up for the bus in other ways.

I will say when NVIDIA update the 8700's driver, then 8700 SLI might be better. So far the driver support for 8800M SLI sux too.....

?????

turn v-sync off (inside your gpu-driver) and Crysis will run MUCH better. off course you will get little strange grapichs sometimes, BUT your FPS will get higher.

i run Crysis in 1280 x 800 with everything on medium/high. works good... overclcoked go7900gs @600/800. 1.24 volt

actually I read at [H] that there was a huge performance hit with Crysis and disabling Vsync in the drivers. so don't do it. leave it at default in the drivers and disabled in the game.

why does this game, i mean every time you start the game it opens up in a windowed mode and then you have to check the full screen button to stretch it to full screen??? it defaults back to windowed mode every time you start the game.. that drives me crazy!!! this game is made by EA, what else do you expect??
