    Check my config. But can't run crysis warhead ultra smooth yet! Is the 9600GTM not good enough? And is there a replacement I can buy? Hi and Thanks A Lot! :D

    ... ?

    The dv7t has a 9600M GT, which cannot run crysis at the highest settings. It gets playable 30fps on med settings. Don't know what you were expecting out of it but that's it. You can't replace your gpu, it's soldered on.

    what? i think he means that you cant upgrade, and te 9600m gt is not that strong, and too bad for max settings crysis.

    Dont use the recommended settings, thats BS. Try, 1280 by 800 res with med settings. and dwnload FRAPS

    Video recording program that can detect your FPS.

    Don't bother with Fraps as it will decrease your performance. When you have Crysis or Crysis Warhead loaded up and your are in game press your ~ key. Then type this into the console window that appears:

    r_DisplayInfo = 1
    Press Enter key

    Now you will see your FPS on screen as well as some other performance info.

    For your computer try Mainstream/Gamer settings for Warhead at 1280x800, no AA. Check out the tweakguides.com Crysis Warhead guide and/or try one of the many configs floating around this or other forum in a Crysis Warhead thread. Also make sure your A/V and any other unnecessary background processes are not running while playing.
