    If you're posting your settings, please also post what Nvidia drivers you're using, what you've overclocked to if you have overclocked, and your FPS or general performance when playing. Also post if you're in a raid array. If you have this all in your signature, then don't worry about it.

    I'm running Nvidia 180.10 big bang II drivers from laptopvideo2go. GPU OC to 698/998/1798. Raid 0 array. My Crysis settings are 1600X1200 resolution and all settings to High except for objects and shaders, which are set to medium. Don't know my FPS but all gameplay is completely smooth except for areas with a large amount of explosion, such as the beginning of the level where you have to take out the AA batteries while your allies are being bombarded with mortars.

    180.10 also reduced the [little] amount of lag that I had when upgraded from previous versions of laptopvideo2go drivers.

    I tested out Crysis Warhead for a few mins after installing it. It runs perfect at 1280x1024 at Gamer settings. I haven't tested anything else yet.

    I am using Xfastest 177.85 drivers, and in Crysis Warhead i use custom config.
    I am getting 25-36 fps @ 1600x1200, which is smooth. Video OC 700/975/1800.

    Some screenshots with FRAPS.

    Hey guys.

    I have a P6860fx all stock at them moment and im using CCC lvl 3. The Crysis Benchmark gives me an average of 30 fps.

    In Crysis Warhead I am using CCC lvl 4 at 25-40 fps, lowest i have gotten is about 23 fps under very harsh rendering moments, but for the most part it is 30 fps.

    So with your laptop you should be able to do about 30+ fps.

    I think Crysis is not worth it. Warhead looks wayyyyyyyyy better and performs better, and it a better game overall, so just go play warhead instead. Its AWESOME

    I'll list my driver version and what not later but -

    I played Crysis at 1900x1200 all on medium without any issues except for the last fight. It went a little slide show on me at the very end of it.

    Personally I find it better to play at native res than boosting up the other settings. At 1900x1200 medium the game looked pretty good.

    So far Crysis is the only game that I can't set everything to maximum on.

    I always played @ 1680x1050.. all high settings. Running fraps it AVGd around 30s. And the only time it really slowed was when I made it to the snow area, trying to keep finding hot spots for the guy that resembles Samuel L Jackson.. then the very end.

    depends. at 1440x900 I can max pretty much anything because its not that high, but its not that low. the CPU will help in warhead cause of the physics and things.

    when I said high, I meant high..using Crysis, not warhead. And jak nailed it.. 1-3FPS compared to any other CPU. I figure once the CPU can OC it will help a bit more. But, otherwise, it's not a huge difference. However, if ya OC the GPU and have the x9100 it likely helps more like 3-6fps. Or sau f*c* it and just OC the GPU for 3-4 FPS :)
