    I made a video about it, on XP. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK-K9WwSQmI
    If anyone could make the same thing or post his results , but ON VISTA, that would help a lot since there seem to some issues with people not believing how much VISTA actually slows down gaming.
    Also, if others have XP and have crysis, I would need fps for all high, 1024x768.

    After watching the video, i believe that 20FPS is no achievement... Turn down the shadows and textures to medium, then you "should" get ~30FPS, which is the minimum for smooth gameplay. Now... Vista does have a small speed decrease of about 5-10%, but Vista it self is not to blame. Game developers, do not use Vistas' inbuilt Superfetch service, causing the game to have to access the HDD more often. (That was a very basic explaination)

    I finished the game twice, all medium so I know what it does.
    And I beg to differ, in a game like crysis, all high , 20+ fps is an achievement.

    This was at some time ago(Nov.) so the drivers at that time were not so optimized for Crysis...

    • Crysis Pre Release Demo
    • 1280x768
    • High Quality(driver texture mode/compression off)
    • Clamp mode on
    • DX10 on
    • Vista x86
    • All Very High except shaders and shadows on medium

    avrg 30/35FPS, max 40FPS, min 25FPS explosions and dense areas:

    We want the 7950GTX!

    Good nonetheless


    EDIT: That's a 8700!!!! A single 8700!!!!!?

    There's no way the Go 7950GTX is less than half as powerfull than the 8700M GT Eleron. Looks like you had/have a problem with your set up

    Dude, shaders and shadows on high mess everything up!
    And yes, that is not the 7950GTX. The 8700M gt`s shading power is 3 times that of the 7950GTX so in shading the 87M GT destroys the 7950GTX.
    I hardly think there was anything qrong with my setup, all high and a resolution above 1024x768 was NOT PLAYABLE on the 7950GTX on VISTA. PERIOD.
