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 :(

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

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      STOP GOOGLING FAB9 MAKE BORG WARNER EFR KITS FOR THE NC. THEY PACKAGE AN EFR 6758. DO NOTHING ELSE. CAPS INTENTIONAL. THE BEST RESPONSIVE SETUP EXISTS FOR YOUR CAR, AND HAS BEEN PROVEN FOR QUITE SOME TIME NOW. IN B4 "BUT I WANT EVEN MORE RESPONSE, IN A SIMPLER, MORE RELIABLE PACKAGE" WHICH IS A LS.
