    Is cuban's config compatible with the natural mod for crysis? Does crysis need to be patched to version 1.21? Also how do these things run in 64-bit os as opposed to 32?
    Thanks is advance.

    the latest patches help for videocard optimizations and minor bug fixes.

    x64 should perform better if you have more than 3GB of RAM for that OS to take advantage of.

    XP 32-bit is still good for overall usage and gaming.

    i looked over the guide,
    do custom configs, like ccc, basically tweak these settings for you?
    ccc level 6 looks a whole lot better than anything else.
    so i wonder how i can tweak it to make it run smoothly. turning off motion blur helped.

    What are your specs and resolution? CCC level 6 isn't meant for anything but the most powerful desktops, like quad sli gtx 295 :rolleyes:

    i have np8662 with p9600 and gtx260m
    im trying to run at 1680 x 1050 (naitive)
    i could settle for 1280 x 800
    i'm trying to figure out what features from that config i can turn down/off to make the game perform well (motion blur is one of them)
