    Hello guys,

    I own Crysis Warhead and I play it on my M17 found on my sig.
    I realized on Gamer settings I only get around 20fps and is even choppier sometimes.

    I downloaded the original Crysis demo today to look at performance. On high and at 1400x1050 I easily get 30- low 40s fps.

    I know Crysis Warhead is supposed to be optimized to run better than the original Crysis.

    How come the unpatched Crysis demo is outperforming my Crysis Warhead big time? Should I reinstall?

    ANY IDEAS?

    well, what do "gamer" settings translate to? because if "gamer" means "all very high", the performance drop would only be expected.

    on a side note, here are some custom CW configs:

    the site's german, but the downloads are labeled in english, as are the screenshots for comparison. just download, extract, and copy into the /Crysis WARHEAD folder.

    well GAMER settings is the third choice second to the highest which is ENTHUSIAST.

    So Im pretty sure its equivalent to Crysis on HIGH settings.

    Ill give that link a try
