    HI

    I own a 6990m and am thinking of upgrading to the 7970m for 3d gaming as i need the extra power.

    I have a crysis warhead config that gives me 60-80fps in 2d and 24-40 fps in 3d.

    I was wondering if someone could try out the config and tell me what they average in 2d overclocked a bit.

    the config is one i found on youtube.

    here it is:

    con_restricted = 0
    r_driver = Dx10
    r_displayinfo = 0
    r_width =

    just add that to a notepad file and name it autoexec and put it in the crysis/game/config directory.

    rep to who ever can help.... it will help me decide..for example if your getting 120fps then i will average 60fps in 3d and then ill buy the 7970m for sure...but if your average is less then i prob wont bother upgrading this generation..

    thanks a million and rep
