    i set everyting to High and got very nice smooth playing but when i went into full screen mode my mouse went out of wack and the mouse alignment went crazy i couldnt click on anything i wanted because the mouse calibration went mad on me.

    Did anyone else experience this problem?

    I installed the latest patches for Crysis too. :(

    Ah yes, it happened once, I have no idea what the problem was.

    I restarted the game and it was fine, hasn't happened since then. No idea what it could have caused it.

    I'm almost certain it's a driver issue, since I had the same problem happen to me on numerous Sager laptops and the m15x as well.

    Happens to lot's of people. I believe it's a DX10 bug. Just navigate(the best you can) to the graphics options page and untick full-screen mode > apply > re-tick it > apply again. Usually works :)

    Might be DirectX 10, that's a good point. Basically I found the bug on a number of machines so it's definitely not machine-specific.

    1 8800M GTX can play Crysis on high at 1440x900 (WXGA+) easily at 25-30fps average.That's no news .
    2 of them can play it at 1920x1200(WUXGA) at 25-30 fps :)

    I can recommend them in this order :
    -for single 8800M GTX : sager 5793(or any clevo m570ru-u system)
    -CANNOT recommend m15x, for too many reasons
    -single 8800M GTS : gateway p-fx series

    SLI:
    -sager 9262
    -dell 1730.
    I cannot recommend the m17x because I have no idea if it's reliable or not, and cannot judge it from the m15x point of view.

    Just curious, but do you disable your trackpad when you play first person shooters?

    I noticed my mouse get's all glitchy because my palm ends up resting on the pad as I play. A quick disable of the trackpad solves the problem.

    I can barely get it to hang on with HIGH SLI 1900x1200 with 8800's. What am i doing wrong? it must be a driver issue?

    definitely a driver issue,sli 8800M GTX should play at high / wuxga at 25-30fps easily.
