Crysis and drivers help...

first of all, I have an alienware m9700 with dual nvidia 7900 GS Gpu's. my problem is that crysis is all laggy and un-smooth. My friend plays if just fine with a single Nvidia 6600.

So my question is could my problem be the drivers or something else?

 

It's the SLI configuration. Lots of people have reported that Crysis in its current state doesn't support dual Nvidia cards. Wait for the new patch to fix things and run your game off one card for the time being.

 

Yeah, what he said!

Mine is hit or miss with SLI right now in Crysis.... on certain levels, I get about twice the frame rate and plays good, but on others I still get a decent framerate, but it's all jerky and stutters. Doing the same levels with a single gpu will get me lower frames, but it seems to run without the stutters you're talking about.... it's just something wierd with how it is using SLI at the moment. The 169.09 drivers did seem to help some, and running Nhancer was recommended so I do that, and it does better than it did, but they still need to either update drivers further or patch the game.

and for what it's worth, I do have the multigpu setting enabled in config file, don't really know if it helped much, but it didn't hurt

 

Hmmm... thanks for the advice, ill have to try it.

Of course it kinda sucks that laptopvideo2go is down for a week...
