    Hey guys I was wondering if you could just post some of your fps rates from various games (Just to see what everyone else is getting on different games | Also post your game settings your playing at).

    Another question. Why can the guy in this video:

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=fNDmAxITKuA&feature=related

    Run crysis on higher settings then me and get a better fps. My range in crysis is about 15-30fps. Average 22. I run on all medium at 1024x768. Is this low? I have seen a nice amount of videos of people playing the same games at higher res and higher options and get higher fps(They have a less powerful notebook.)

    Anyway thanks for your time.

    -Mike

    There are many advanced options to look into too like shadows causes a big drop.

    You need better drivers, and also consider OCing the card, since the 8th series are very good OCers.
    700/1500/900 should be a reasonable OC...
