playing on 1680x1050

playing on 1680x1050

there is your problem

drop the res and try it out

Yeah it should be playable at 1440x900res (or 1280x1024) on Mainstream or Gamer with a few shader settings turned down. You want to aim for at least 30fps but expect some slow down on some action sequences. Also, have you loaded the latest driver (182.XX)?

Ye, res is too high for that video card... Crysis Warhead while being optimised somewhat over Crysis... still maxes juice on even decent cards.

I haven't played it yet but im expecting it to bring my 4850 to its knee's @ 1680 - i aint even going to try run it @ 1900 lol

I got a 4850 aswell wonder how that'll go!

are you running in DX10 or DX9?

tried 1440x900, still getting unbearable lag.. all my other games handle perfectly on full settings and on 1680x1050

And yes 182.50 is installed, i'm pretty sure 8800GT SLI can handle crysis warhead on 1680x1050

Warhead does support SLI...maybe try disabling SLI to see if that's the cause.

Also, do you know what the CPU % and RAM usage is in game? while unlikely, one of these could be the bottleneck.

Not sure if this is what you're talking about but CPU is on 1% (Doesn't sound right?) and ram is 2.06GB

Edit: Hmm got windows 7 beta put on recently, and in dxdiag it says i've got DX11? lol.. maybe thats the prob?

So your running windows 7???

Does the game actually officially support it yet?

I dont think most do as its not officially released yet - add to the fact you dont have a DX11 card, DX11 cards are not due until the launch of Windows 7 officially (not the BETA)

Go back to Vista/XP IMO
