    It's THE benchmark for me^^ I completed the single player more than 5 times now ;) Crysis Warhead 4 times :p

    I am German^^ It's like BMW^^ There is a connection :D

    Ok now serious^^ Crysis is the game I compare PCs and sadly my "old" PC with a 8800GTX outperformed my m17 :(

    The problem is, now I use my old pc for gaming again and this makes me :mad: ^^ My PC is more than 2 years old :cool:

    PS: I know Crysis is an Nvidia game^^

    Crysis scales poorly with crossfire and doesnt like ATI's :p
    IMO, Far cry 2 > Crysis :) really enjoyed the game till the end.

    Since the links are the same as source id say its desktop drivers so you would probably need to mod them :p

    Depends on the driving :p I rarely take roads :D

    It's not the driving I hate^^ It's more ... go there kill ... and ... you "clear" an area and some time later every one is back alife^^

    Hm ... I tryed to install 9.5 (W7 version support Mobility cards as well) but it didn't finish :(

    So now time to sleep ;)

    See you tomorrow guys :)

    hi julian its 9.6 you want mate

    mobility modding as follows

    1 extract file to folder of your choice ( i called it ken) lol
    2 open up mobility modder and open up c bla bla bla ken folder and as you have already extracted it you will have cat96_862 file. use that file on mbility modder.

    then press mod once this has done go into cat96_862 file and click set up.

    thats it

    Ah ok I thought it's the beta^^ And what about this W7 patch? never heard of a catalyst which can be patched? For what do I need it "or" what does it do?

    (I normaly just download the Windows 7 64bit driver and mobile mod it :) )
