Oh that's it, I give up.

I don't know if it's Vista or something not working right in my computer but I just GIVE UP! My computer which is currently: 8800GTS 320mb, AMD Dual Core X2 5200+ 2.60Ghz, 600watts, 4gigs of ram.......can't run the Crysis beta on even low settings with smooth playable framerate(it runs it on 10-15 fps)...my computer which last time I checked 'should run World in Conflict easily on high settings' can't even run the game on medium in playable framerate(again it runs it on 10-15 fps). Before, I would as why it's not running it the way it should in other threads and forums, people suggested I get my 400watt psu replaced with a 600watt, so I did that. Then the 'professionals' suggested because vista is such a resource hog, I should add to my 2gigs of ram. I did that. I got absolutely no performance boost at all.

It runs almost all games in an acceptable framerate, just the newer ones it is having trouble with(with the exception of CoD4). I don't know what else to do, where else to go. I mean, I wanted and waiting so long to buy myself a gaming machine, and when I did and read all the specs I thought I had it, I thought that this was it. I thought that now I will never get any slowdowns on games, and I will be able to play the best ones out there. Didn't turn out to be that way. At this point, I think I give up. You win again pc gaming as you have kicked my ass again! Also, if someone asks me if I have updated my drivers one more time, I will open my window and through my computer out. Remember, this is a cry for help.

Resolution is 1440x900. Also, to the other guy. What do you mean by full system reboot? If you mean reformatting, I've only had the computer for a couple of months and rarely use it.Ilived

Thats's my exact system! 5200, 8800gts 320mb, and 2gb of ram (you have 4 thou)

My games perform pretty good. I haven't tried WiC or Crysis, but I don't belive it will be that bad. I belive you might have some drivers issue, a bad part, heating problems, or any other different from hardware. At least that's what I want to belive xD!

Ya, judge thge game by the demo which releases very shortly.-CheeseEater-

I got one word for you "beta".........wait wait, I got 3 words for you "Vista and Beta"9mmSpliff

Lol Vista is fine for me...I have an E6420 @ 2.13ghz, 2 gigs of 667mhz ram, and an 8600GT. I can run run the Crysis demo at like Medium with a few settings on low at like 30-40 FPS. Might be just the Beta. I mean he did say that he can run all other games so I don't see why Vista would be the problem.

Hmm??? I was talking about the Crysis which I shouldn't have done...oooops...

Actually I don't even care. The demo is coming out in like 3 days so w/e.

Two ideas...

I know that SLI is very iffy on Vista, and even if you're not using SLI, I agree.. try WinXP with SP2.

Secondly, what's the temperature inside the system like during that game? I know with certain graphics card and 3D Engine combinations the GPU runs hotter than usual. For example, I can run Oblivion at it's lowest settings on my All-in-Wonder, it's choppy, but it doesn't die. Warcraft however (not WoW, just Warcraft) will actually shut down my system after 30 minutes or so, and once I finally get it to turn back on a little voice says "CPU temperature too high." Doesn't make sense but that's how it is. Check the temperature..

stop running around the bush and just get a 8800 gtx man, they're even on sale at newegg for 450 bucks, you got a nice pc, what it lacks is a good GPU!!!.

Nonetheless that gts should be giving you a lot more frames, something is wrong with your setup.
