About the Settings i have:

Everything high @ 1152x864 No AA

-

the Problem is that it's running on 15-20 FPS And i was expecting much faster...

So you guys can help me out by finding what Spec is low on peformance.
i hope it's not the Graphics card...

Oh, btw, I have overclocking gexperience.. Should i try it?

Well, there are various problems with crysis on an nvidia. You might have to try downgrading to 1.86 or similar. I know there is a hotfix though. Google it. :v

The makers of this game badly programmed it thus giving out bad fps '-_-
Just look at Far Cry 2
It looks BETTER and It'll run faster then Crysis.

How much fps at the same settings?
My cousin said its all because ea games was so lazy to program a new game due because they want to make games faster.

The main problem is your cpu. Get at least a 3.0 or higher.
The cpu is what gets you your framerate. Video card just makes it look pretty.


That's a flat out lie. Your PC obviously doesn't run Crysis on Very High settings.

get a better computer

Dude you don't get it.
This CPU worth a 200$ This days.
Because it has 4 cores, not a single..

So it's about 4Ghz or more.

Well, enjoy your quad core. You want a gaming PC, you get a dual core.

Dude, you need more than 450w for that rig.

And moved..

From my reading on my own processor, I came across a lot of articles about how the q6600 was a really great value, and a lot more easily OC'd than mine was (;_;). I dunno if that would be a good thing to do, but it could always be a possibility. I don't have experience with overclocking yet.

I'm pretty sure crysis doesn't utilize all 4 cores either. It was made more like a tech demo anyway, putting in every single graphical effect known to mankind, while overloading almost every single gpu out there.


^agreed.

Also, this site really was helpful in getting the most out of crysis for me:
