is anyone else getting really bad performance, with crysis i get a solid 30 fps, but with warhead i get around 9 fps wasn't warhead supposed to run better than crysis
I've tried both the certified 175.32, and the moddded 177.92 i got 8800 GTX SLI
I just got this gamer today.Its a great game so far.I had the game on the auto settings for the graphics.Which I think was MAINSTREAM for all the options.Well,I was playing the game quite comfortablely.I was getting about 30fps.I am only guessing.But it was very playable.After about 2 1/2 hrs,the game was extremely choppy.Started to crawl like 5 fps!Did the system get too hot?Is it becuase I only have a single Nvidia 8700GT 256mb video card?
View 15 Replies View RelatedI'm currently working out an optimal set of settings to get this thing running at an average of 40-45 FPS with eye candy and thought I could get some ideas here of where to go. Could we have those users with the game post their settings and driver versions and what performance you're able to land?
And what specific settings dictate the nature of the explosions? I'd be satisfied maxing those out while keeping the other things at "Mainstream."
forgot to mention the game is being run in dx9 mode
I'm looking into getting the M1730 w/ X9000 (overclocking it to 3.4 Ghz), 9800M GT in SLi and 4 GB of RAM but I wanted to see how would it perform w/ the most demanding games out there i.e. Crysis and GTA IV.
if their settings and resolutions were maxed out. I know that X9000 is slower than the newer X9100 and QX9300 but is it gonna affect perormance a lot. Is it worth getting X9000 or is this CPU getting old now..
I still want a system that would be powerful enough for the next 2-3 years but I'm a bit hesitat to get the X9000. Can anyone let me know how those 2 games perform on the M1730 if the cpu is overclocked to 3.4 Ghz?..
Thought I was on the right track after getting a 14800 in 3Dmark 06 (with x9000 overclocked to 3.4GHZ). But then Crysis killed it. After tweaking away I get 10-30FPS on 1900:1200 with settings on High - which is unfurtunatley unplayable. Not quite what I expected when I decided to shell out £2000+.
System: XPS M1730, x9000 OC to 3.4GHX, 8800GLX in SLI, SS Hard drive

Earlier this year I bought one of the Clevo 8800M GTX notebooks, thinking I could use it to play games during my daily commute. Unfortunately, I quickly discovered that the 3d capabailities of the card were disabled under battery power by the Clevo hardware, so back it went....
I am now considering a dell XPS M1730 8800M GTX SLI model. I would be grateful if any current owners of this model could tell me what the 3d performance is like under battery power. I'm not looking for a great amount of battery life (between 75 and 90 minutes ideally)....
Incidentally, I have just been told by one of the Dell sales advisors that the battery will last for between 3.5 and 4 hours when playing games... ha ha what a joke, where do they find these guys?..........
Bear with me as I try to sort some things out. Currently I have a M1730 with These Specs.
OS- Win 7 Home prem. X64
Ram 4 GB
CPU- Intel Core2Duo T9500 @2.6GHz
GPU- Nvidia 9800M GT x2, Sli.
I am wondering how well it would run Battlefield bad company 2 with high-max settings @ 1920x1200. Here are the Specs, just released today .....
Does anyone have experience with very slow performance on battery power with the Dell XPS M1730?
The problem I am having is the following:
AC plugged in - everything works fine.
AC unplugged (on battery power) - the system is very slow. Watching basic video or a DVD is painfully slow, and video is choppy with skipped frames.
I have been working with Dell, and have updated all video drivers, Bios, tried different power settings (including high performance), and it has made no difference.
I have a M1730 with 8700gt sli GPU's. My problem is that, if i turn on the notebook and start playing a newish game,
it will run great for 20 mins or so, then its performance will drop dramatically, to the point of not being able to play due to framerate drop.
My instincts tell me that it is a heat problem, beacuse if i turn it off and leave it for a bit, i can turn it back on and play fine again.
how does it run?
View 15 Replies View RelatedWell the singple player demo is due on friday, and nowhere on the internet can I find how it will run on my system. Whos getting it? This is one of the main reasons I forked out so much for this thing, so I hope it plays well, even if I do have to use DX9.
Id love to hear from anyone how it goes who ran the MP demo, or plans to get the SP demo when it arrives. On a M1710 - 7950 anyway.
I am thinking about to get a new FX2500m card.
Is it a good idea to play Crysis with it?
I treated myself to Crysis on Friday night. What a mistake. OK, so I havent got a 3 way SLI rig, water cooled MOFO of a PC. I just have a 7950GTX, dual core 2.0 GHz 1710.
But boy, does Gears of War look amazing on 1400 resolution, so this is going to be OK.
I cant even get the thing running smoothly on low, never mind medium. I have even tweaked the system.cfg file to disable shadows etc. and it still runs like a Pig.
This is lazy programming in my opinion. To write a game that cant run on medium looking half decent, and with decent FPS is just pure lazy. They write this for the minority, not the majority. GOW on the other hand is excellent, they obviously used every trick in the book to get this to look amazing on reasonable spec PCs.
I could of course be wrong, and my computer is screwed...and you are all loving Crysis...in wihch case tell me your secrets!
By the way.....dont make a game that means every scene has 10 million leaves in it.....dont assume we are all millionaires
yesterday a friend asked me to connect my laptop to my tv and show him crysis
(i only got the demo).
i did that and the result was surprisingly good. i turned the settings to:
all high, no aa, 1366x768 (tv's native res). the video card @ 600/900.
the game ran really smoothly (no stuttering/slowdown) through the whole demo.
and it looked MUCH better than on my laptop screen @ 1440x900.
it looked like with aa applied and the overall picture quality and colour was much
smoother. i guess the lcd makes the picture a little bit blurry & has better colours
than a laptop screen, which makes a more realistic look overall.
in crysis on the laptop screen (native res) the picture looks too sharp making it less
realistic and when i leave the native resolution it just gets ugly.
a big surprise for me was also the great performance. unfortunately i have no chance
to try dx10 (very high), as i don't run vsta. but i heard the to-be-released-soon
crysis: warhead will allow you very high settings, even if running xp.

What is the max resolution with decent performance on E1705 for Crysis?
What about latest drivers?
I'm just wondering what you guys have set up for tweaks in Crysis and I'd love some help optimizing my copy. I'm playing under Vista with the 1.1 patch and would enjoy getting a few extra frames/options enabled without the high performance cost.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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.
how the 8800GTX SLI on the XPS1730 handles Crysis at high resolutions.
Also, my wife was breastfeeding and spilt breast milk all over my keyboard. I tried licking it off but couldn't get all of it. How do you recommend i clean it?

i threw my 2 cents in. benchmarked my m1710 with 7900gtx in the thread.
my FRAPS result is near the same as what the 8800 got @ 1280x1024...
maybe diff @ higher res? or better drivers?

View 15 Replies View RelatedConfigured with a dedicated 1G ATI Radeon HD4650 graphics card, will it run decently with something maybe like Crysis at an HD resolution of 1920x1080?
View 3 Replies View Relatedthe problem as stated in the subject is that after about 10 minutes of playing crysis on 1024x768 mid settings the laptop simply turns off and when i turn it on it says that it's been overheated and that i should contact dell support with error #m1004.
I've touched the back of the note and it's DAMN HOT, can't hold my hand there for more than a second maybe.
I've seen one more guy complaining about this issue on laptopvideo2go forum but i can't register there (some bug in the registry process) and contact the guy to see if he has resolved the issue.
am running XP 32 SP2 and the problem happend with the dell supplied drivers as well as with 169.04 and with 169.09.
I put setting on high (over half were on very high such as particles, water, physics, etc)
and i had on the one below native res with no AA. This was recorded with fraps, therefore i had to turn some of the settings down.
But here are some vids ...

How would Crysis run at High-settings @ 1920 x 1080? at 1600 x 900?
I can play Obilivion, Bioshock, UT3, and even crysis (1200x800 medium) at good frame rates with good quality visuals turned on. I had previously just accepted that I was stuck with games like doom3 and quake4 only.
