    at what resolution are u running crysis with the 9262 with 9800 gtx sli, now i am using 1600x1200 with everything high, it works fine. also x2 antialising

    i was thinking of using the very high and 1920x1200 with x8 antialising but dont think it will work.

    by the way, i dont seem to have the bench marking tool for crysis, what's the file name. also i found x64crysis.exe and x86crysis.exe, both run the same. while all other games including the warhead are x86...

    The aspect ratio of 1920x1200 is 16:10 like most laptops, so is the 1680x1050. If you choose 1600x1200, the aspect ratio is not the same.

    I suggest using a widescreen resolution so you keep the aspect ratio of your monitor; otherwise, everything will be streteched/distorted. You should be able to run Crysis at 1920x1200 no problem with 9800M-GTX SLI.

    Check out some of the custom graphics configs here, they are worth experimenting with:

    I switch off with these:
