    I realize there are some threads like this scattered throughout the forums, but they didn't answer all of my questions. I'm just wondering how to get the most out of crysis on my 7811fx. Right now i'm playing warhead, with all settings to gamer at a resolution of 1280 x 8something. It's kind of odd...before i was getting averages of 25-30 fps, but after installing, and then removing some tweaks, the frame rate went way down. Now i barely mantain 20 fps anywhere. Anyways, i think i'll just have to reinstall and see if that helps,

    but i ws wondering if there are any big fps boosters? does directx 10 perform better than 9? can i even switch that? does having physx enabled boost or hinder the performance? and yeah...i guess thats it...what kind of fps are you guys getting?
