How to play Crysis while taking down lil'Gfx

Well when Crysis was released it was a major hit and yes all credits to crytek for making a real intense fps game.When I first thought of Crysis, I was wondering if my PC could play it and I was real happy to see it did and also at Medium settings :)

Well the bad part is Crysis didnt support 2 Cores yet( I still have to research on that).
And I think crytek jus went overboard with graphics because even the strongest quad-core pcs have a lil problem handling it smoothly.

On my pc Crysis was playable...at around 30-50 fps ( at custom settings).
I'm much more of a Graphics to Res geek, in other words i like balancing Crystal Clear Res with Quality Graphics.

Well here are my PC specs..(click to enlarge)















Ok ... moving on to 'my' Gameplay. I really dont know about ATI cards but since I have an Nvidia gfx card I use forceware which is a good control center for ure GPU.
If u go to manage 3d settings in ure nvidia control panel u would find 3 options :
Performance - Balanced - Quality

Quality: gives you more of that smoothness and more shaders
Balanced: is...what the name suggests
Performance:Will give u ok kinda eyecandy but will boost ure FPS in games.

Please note: If ure comp is better than mine...obviously it has better FPS.

Ok now for those people whose comps have kinda low specs or lower than mine.
This is how to get good gameplay in crysis.
Quality in Crysis depends in what processor , ram and GPU u have.

Step1: ( only for nvidia...ATI help will come lator on )
1)Go to your Nvidia Control panel and click on Manage 3d settings ( ps Download the latest forceware from www.nvidia.com )

2)Put 3D settings on Performance

3) click apply.

Now open Crysis ..

1)Go to System > Graphics > advanced

2)Now its really upto u to set it up because i dont have your pc so i cant tell you what to do . But this is basically how i play my crysis on .

Try customizing ure Gfx settings to yield better results :D .
I would suggest changing volumetric,post processing , water and sound...even shadows to some extent.
BTW removing shadows greatly increases your FPS. :)

Have fun...Oh yea remmeber to upgrade your pc :)
