    Well guys, i just ran the Crysis Multiplayer 3 on my Toshiba X205 with the Laptopvideo2Go 163.67 drivers running on Vista and all i can say is: IT RUNS ****Y AS HELL. Omg...damn it stutters and stutters and it won't stop even on low graphic settings + 1280 x 800. I wonder if that could have anything to do with Vista. I chatted with other gamers and they said they switched back to XP and they said that the Crysis Beta is running a lot better on XP.
    Guess i have to install XP now to test if theres any improvement *sigh*.
    I'll keep you informed...

    Did a fresh install of XP now and installed the latest nVidia 163.71 drivers. Now Crysis runs A LOT BETTER and very smooth @ 1440x900 and Medium Settings. Even on High Settings and 1440x900 it is quite playable.
    Remember, this is only beta and still very very buggy. This might not represent the retail version in regard of performance. I think the Crysis Demo will run even better on the 8700GT.
