    You got to be dreaming if you expect to play crysis on 1024X600 on 9400M lol... Its probably the most demanding game there probably ever was. I suggest you stay at a low res or get another laptop :p

    I wouldn't go that far.

    Add these two lines to the system.cfs:
    r_width=x
    r_height=x

    X denoting your resolution.

    If I disable tessellation and hardware DOF which are useless (your eyes' depth of field isn't nearly as handicapped and ridiculous as they are in games), I get much better performance from Metro 2033.

    The amount of texture and details in Crysis 1 still blows away Metro 2033. Metro 2033 just crushes the system with stupid post processing junk. Crysis crushes it with extreme textures, details and the best lighting in any game still to date. I do not find the deferred shading/lighting in BF3/BC2/Crysis 2 to match up to Crysis 1 still. Crysis still has the best physics I think of any FPS game. BF3/BC2 has nice destruction, but physics is wonky. I've seen grenades thrown on the ground fly up onto a balcony/roof of buidings many times. The destruction is fine, the physics itself is still not as good as Crysis.
