Isthis Crysis Warhead fps normal for my rig?

Ok so im running:

Intel core i7 920 at 2.66ghz.

6gb of ddr3 at 1666

xfx gtx 280

ultra x3 800 watt psu

asus p6t deluxe motherboard

I am running DX10, 64bit mode, with Enthusiast(spelling?) settings, no aa, 1680 x 1050 resolution.

I get between 20-35 depending. Shouldnt i be getting more fps?

I think so. I play sometimes on my rig and get about that. I think if you overclock that i7 a little bit, you'll be able to squeeze some more fps out of it. Cause from my understanding, Crysis isn't very quad-core optimized

Also, I gotta say, epic sig my friend.

aha yes i love my sig :).

and ok thank you for the imput. Im terrified of overclocking, and my cpu is running ona stock cooler.

Add in the fact that i7's run slightly hotter then other cpus.....it just sounds bad. XD

actually no, i7's rock.
I can run more stuff, more quickly then i ever could on my quad or duo

And i dont mind 20-30 fps in crysis. It feels smoother then that. I just wanted to make sure it was normal.

If you are running warhead at a very high resoultion with very high AA, etc. then i suppose its normal but if not then yeah its a little low. I got around 35fps avg and 50fps+ max on high settings (1200x800~, 2xaa, etc) with a mere HD3870 and i never got to the 20s in FPS. Maybe if you reduced some of the CPU intensive options it would run better.

I think at the res you're working with, it sounds about right. Specially if you're not Overclocked, then it's fine.

If you want higher FPS, overclocking the CPU and even the GPU will be significantly noticable. Of course not with the Intel's stock HSF ya shouldn't OC at all. Keep it as is if you're satisfied. 8)

I thought you would get more as my old 9800gtx+ with q9450 got about 20fps on enthusiest on 1680 by 1050.

Run Crysis in DX9 mode. You'll get more FPS but no loss in quality.DeckardLee

i hav the most updated drvers.

If u guys dont have a gtx 280, or havent seen one in action, dont comment.

There is no way this thing can pump out 50 fps on a 2.66 processor. If seen people online get 50 fps, with 3 of these.

Crysis warhead is a hog on hardware so that is about right.

Dude download the CCC mod for crysis. The mod was build for the first crysis so I am not sure that it will work with warhead. CCC mod puts crytek to shame since the game runs soo much better not to mention AI improvements and graphic improvements such as shadow and day of light.

I got an ancient 1 core 2.2Ghz CPU, 1GB of ram and X1950pro 256MB and I can almost get smooth framerate on level 3 setting (Medium setting).

CCC mod walks all over crytek optiomisation. Makes crytek look like a bunch of amatures.
