    So i've been looking all over for a tweak that will run Crysis at 30+ fps with medium graphics using the system.cfg file. I've tried a couple but they either did nothing or made it worse...does anybody have ones that work really well?

    using 169.28 drivers

    I looked over alot of that, but aren't there pre built .cfg files that are for low, medium, high setups etc? All of that would take me like a week to go over and fix lol.

    There are mods, but I can tell you from experience they aren't that great and are not ha great of a performance saver. If you're willing to sacrifice resolution and shadows you can get a constant 45fps. That's what did I just gave up on trying to tweak the settings. I realised I was spending more time trying to tweak the game then actually playing it.

    Here, I'll share mine. It's based on a performance optimized config by Cuban, but modded for better image quality. Customized for my 8600m GT. (read the short guide in that link to Cuban on how to get the cfg to work)

    Wow, i used yours in the Crysis demo and i get like 17 fps lol :p (not playable)...

    And i got a 8600M GT GDDR3 (OCed) but you got a 2,4 Ghz processor, maybe that's why.

    What fps do you get??
