    Has anyone heard of some sort of patch/fix that can get your crysis running in dx9 but with high frame rates? If so where could one possibly find this patch/fix? thanks :eek:

    I realize I'm not answering your question, but I just have to say that since the 6800 is not even the most powerful (or even part of the series of the most powerful) DX9 only card (i.e. 7950gtx), I wouldn't expect much playing Crysis on a 6800, much less 30-50fps.

    I'd say turn your settings down considerably and then see if that helps.

    Oh i dont have the card...its just after a long research i found some interesting articles of running a fixed up version of crysis with a 6800 in dx9 mode with 30-50fps.

    My pc runs crysis fine...cept i dont get over 30 fps i got the 8600gt card. Just want to patch crysis up to see it perform better.

    Couldnt find this patch anywhere tho :S werid.

    Their 'patch' probably consists of disabling every in game eye candy imaginable, and changing the resolution to something like 640x480 or something. Where did you find this 'article' anyway?

    I don't know what you guys think, but the Geforce Go 6800 isn't that weak for it's age. If my c**ptastic X1600 can handle Crysis well enough on low settings I don't see why a Geforce Go 6800 being more powerful not being able to perform better. Anyways hers a youtube video of Crysis being run on a Insprion 9300 equipped with the 6800:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5DZk8HITPY

    The person who made the video claims 15-30fps with these settings "Shaders, Physics, Shadows: MEDIUM. Post-Processing, Game Details: HIGH. Water, sound, objects, textures: LOW". He overclocked his card significantly though, maybe you could message him and ask for his advise?

    The geforce go 6800 ain't all that powerful.

    The 8600m beats the 7800 go, and it barely gets 30 fps.

    Depends on how you look at it, the 8600m GT only has a 128 bit wide bus though it has more shader power but that´s it. A 8600m GT is not any faster than a go 7800GTX just because it has higher clocks, you can´t compare clock to clock, but look at that bus instead where the 8600m GT crumbles at higher res and throwing in any AA or AF it crumbles even more.

    I had dual 8700m GT´s before and now what kind of hit these took in higher res. A 6800 Ultra can handle higher res better than a 8600m GT. Though for Crysis I would prefer a 8600m GT.

    There is no magic "patch" to run at medium settings on a 6800. You have to do some significant editing to a cfg custom config file and I doubt he runs at medium settings. Maybe he thinks it´s medium settings when he has indeed just edited a custom config. A go 7800GTX overclocked has trouble running the Crysis at Medium settings, so go figure :)

    I have a desktop nVidia Geforce 6800GS 256MB GDDR3 RAM graphics card, and I was recommended by someone with a similar system configuration as mine, to play Crysis on low settings to get playable framerates, so I didn't bother getting Crysis yet. :)

    I have to check that vid when I get home. If he has nice config so maybe he is running Crysis quite good looking :) Will see if I can make a custom config later on for my go 7800 GTX :) Always fun to make newer games work on older GPU´s with nice framerates, though I doubt Crysis :)
