Strange performance in Crysis Warhead

Molemanmus · 17 Apr 2009 at 11:10

Basically ive just installed Crysis Warhead and I've used UltimaRages CCC Performance Tweaks. Ive used the lowest level - level 3. The problem is, when I first load into the game I get really nice fps 30+ however it seems to slow down with time. Also, when theres a lot going on it really really stutters.

Im wondering what could be the cause of this, as soon as I alt tab out and in the game it returns back to normal performance.

Is there a problem or is my pc just too old now

Intel Pentium D 805 @ 3.8ghz
Evga 8800gts 320mb superclocked
evga 650i
hiper ps (530W i think)

cheers

Sounds like a memory leak somewhere..

How much ram do you have, what other applications are open in the background, and have you patched Crysis to the latest available patch?

2gb ram , i have the following in the background,

Skype
Nod 32 Antivirus
Evga Precision tool
Creative audio console

thats really it tbh

With only 2GB RAM and 320MB VRAM, made sure you turn the texture quality down. FWIW I found that memory usage was much lower in DX10 mode than DX9 in Crysis.
