Crysis lags on q9000 oced to 2.4 with 260 sli

I am having a frustrating issue. I have installed both Crysis and Crysis Warhead and lagging is terrible even at very low resolution and moderate game settings. My laptop is plugged in utilizing Boost performance for my sli and stealth mode is off. I have successfully oced to 2.4 but have not figured out how to install new drivers from nvidia. Does anyone have any idea why lagging is so bad, the initial movie before play begins even lags. Any help would be great.

 

adn i have another issue, i just got my alienware i just got my m17x with 280m sli and 2ghx quad core and 4gb ram and i just ran 3dmark 06 and i got 9k.........!!!!!! please hep

 

sounds like your only running 1 card

try running vantage and ensure SLI is enabled

 

make sure SLI is enabled in the nvidia control panel and that you have a crysis profile in your nvidia control panel -> program setttings. I play crysis with highest setttings and get in the 40's and 50's FPS. It's the main reason I got the low res panel. I couldn't run crysis maxed if I got the 1920x1200 panel.

 

So you limited your whole machine for 1 game?

Any other game will run perfect at even 2xxx res .... I don't understand your logic

 

Both of you make sure that:

1. Stealth mode is COMPLETELY off.
2. You have SLi enabled in the nVidia control panel.

Try going into the BIOS and disabling HybridSLI to make sure the 9400m isn't causing any issues.

 

ok i checked all of that and stills the same, 10k on 3dmark 06 i just received the 23th of october, but here are some screenshots of the nvidia control panel

i dont know but on the display settings 2 screen appear,

 

First off, don't post 5 consecutive posts to post images. Put them all in one post.

Secondly, did you do like I told you? Go into the BIOS and disable HybridSLI.

 

ok, sorry im a nebiwe, and i went to the bios and disabled hybridsli

 

bluetraxx did disabling hybrid sli in bios fix your issue

 

I tried disabling hybrid in bios and issue persists also it takes like five minutes from the point at which I select crysis from my game list until the time when the inital EA credits begins, is that normal for a game or not. After installing crysis my computer is low slower and even if crysis finally loads the initail game scenes are even lagging and choppy. Stealth mode is not on and ski is enabled, is there some other issue that it could possibly be?

 

no, it did not fixed it, i can play crysis in very high settings with no aa and on 1600 x 1200 and the freme rate its very playable, but when i run the
3dmark06 i get about 10k

 

bluetraxx - couple things:

1. Please do not cross post here. Posting the same message more than once is not allowed per our forum rules. We know you have a problem, and if you're patient we'll help you.

2. Use the edit button in the bottom right corner of your posts to add content/images to your posts instead of making multiple posts. Thank you.

 

Bluetraxx, the fact 2 monitors display is irrelevant - it happens on every system.

As far as I can see sli mustn't be enabled properly.

I dont know how it works on W7 or Vista, but for driver updates on XP you go to:
-My Computer
->Right click in the white space anywhere
--> Select 'Properties'
---> Select 'Hardware' Tab
----> Select "Device Manager"
-----> Select 'Display Adapters'

Now, right click your GPU/s and select properties and make sure both are set to 'Enabled' - If only one shows dont worry, but ensure its enabled.

Then select the 'Driver' tab and select 'Update Drivers'.

DONT do this until AFTER we've fixed your crysis problem - this wont be the reason why your getting poor results or crysis lags. This is just an FYI on your 'how do I update drivers' question =]

On the problem. Where did you install crysis? Main HDD? External HDD? Did you crack it?

 

crysis
crysis warhead
stalker clear sky
stalker call of pripyat (not released yet but uses the same engine as clearsky but with direct x11 features)
starwars the force unleashed
ghost busters
risen
the witcher enhanced
grandtheft auto 4
cryostasis
teamfortress (during multiplayer with several players in an area the M17X will dip FPS at high res)

all the games above will run dodgy at 1920x1200 on the M17x unless you turn the settings down. And this doesn't unclude future games coming out like.
Mafia II
crysis II
and shattered horizon (I was on the beta test and good luck getting to run this game maxed out at 1920x1200 on the MX even with dual 280's like myself)

blu-ray would be the only reason for a high res panel and If I wanted to watch blu-ray I will watch it on my 55inch Led LCD at home
