    Im getting between 20-30fps. is there a way to bring that up. Ive tried changing the settings but they still come out the same. 1024x768 is probly the lowest id like to go.

    You could try overclocking.

    Are you using any kind of laptop cooler? Have you undervolted your CPU? Have you applied ICDiamond anywhere on your laptop?

    You can check GPU temps, if they're low enough you can overclock the GPU. Obviously overclocking the GPU will create more heat, so if your GPU is already running hot you want to cool it down a bit first.

    Different drivers will also affect FPS, obviously so will tweaking the nvidia settings for quality/performance, and in-game settings also.

    I don't think overclocking the GPU in a 7805u will help in performance all that much. The 9800 GTS is a very fast GPU and would be bottle necked by the CPU.

    The best bet I would think is to get a better CPU for the 7805u. Depending on your budget anyway.

    I was thinking CPU too because Crysis is CPU intensive. I was hoping the latter tho. Thanks

    No all that you guys have said is wrong, sorry to say. The net code for this game is horrible. Your internet connection will affect FPS and the Crysis Wars has horrible FPS stability.

    Unlike CoD4 net code. This game will run horribly if the ping is not at 30 or below. That is just the way the game is. Once i got my new Cat 6.5 cable and upgraded internet connection. The game runs smoother then the campaign and i am finally able to enjoy it.

    What i am trying to say is that. Crysis wars performance has a lot less to do with your Graphic horse power and more to do with your internet connection. I read about this on the incrysi. com forums and i found it to be absolutely true. So unless you have a 8800-9800m GTS gpu or higher and 35-45 or below ping do not expect the game to run smoothly.
