    Hello all, I recently picked up Crysis and have been running it on my p-6860. I seem to get 16 to 24 fps at the settings I'm at. Can someone suggest what they have used as optimal settings balancing good FPS while still looking great? I am on mostly high settings with one or two down to medium right now at 1400 x 900. I also have upgraded the CPU to a t9300 and done a clean vista install. My video drivers are still stock from gateway. (maybe a suggestion here as well) Also, I haven't done any sort of undervolting etc, but temps seem to be good with the t9300 even on full load. (something like 55C running prime95) But any suggestions there would be cool as well. Thanks!

    thats all you need.

    Install lvl3 and the game should fly. at 1440 900

    AND PLEASE INSTALL DOX 180.70 for best performance in Crysis.

    DO NOT USE gateway drivers for gaming, use DOX drivers.

    Awesome! Thank you for the help! My poor desktop doesn't get much game time anymore since this notebook seems to play 3d a whole lot better.
