Problem running Crysis on XPS1710 in Vista

Joebob · 1 Jun 2008 at 12:33

I have been playing Crysis on my laptop and it ran fine under XP with medium settings. After upgrading to Vista 32 and continuing my game it's running like a turd.

I come out from the Core section to where you are on the mountain covered in snow and the performance is so bad that it's virtually unplayable.

Anyone else had any issues? I need to know what the best drivers are to use and also the best setting in Crysis to get the most out of the game.

M1710, T7600 @ 2.33Ghz, 7900GTX 512MB , 4GB Memory, Vista 32 Business.

Thanks.

1.1 patch fixed that for me, are you patched? if not download 1.2 patch and it should improve a fair bit

I'm pretty sure I have patched it to the latest version already - do you know if it tells you what version you are running in the game?

never noticed anything, all i know is i had HORRID performance (G92 8800GTS overclocked to hell) on all the levels past 'core', downloaded and installed 1.1 patch and got a dramatic performance improvement, and by dramatic i mean slideshow before, perfectly playable (with more eye candy) the next, used to have to kill settings on the aircraft carrier to make it playable :eek:

Joebob, a massively OT question... How are you finding that setup? I was thinking about sticking a T7600 in my 9400 as it's on a T2350 right now...

On a 7900GTX aswell as the previous Quadro toasted itself, finding it decent in games but just want to drag this laptop out for another year.

Still find it great on most games performance wise - although I am extremely tempted not the M1730 is out
