    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?

    Warhead isn´t as optimized as they said it would be. Also important of course to have your GPU drivers up to date.

    Or go with a custom config.

    No need to be an NVIDIA Fanboy... THose 3870's are just great...

    To the OP. I don't know how's the Warhead Xfire support... Maybe is that... Or like magnus said, try with a custom config ;)

    ati are good but it must have the right drivers or you may need to weak your game setting by lowering 1 or 2 thing to a medium setting

    i have the latest drivers.
    ATI released the 9.1 drivers yesterday.

    i just think its weird that Crysis gets almost double the frames as Crysis Warhead..
