HI as u can see from my sig my rig should be able to play crysis warhead atleast at gamer settings but im not able to play it at any setting at all...IT stutters alot and is almost unplayable at any setting....Is there any fix for this? I wondered if my RAM was at fault...maybe 2GB is too less
PS..My rig can play the the first crysis at very high settings at about 30fps

try downloading any new released patches for the game or updating your drivers and try reinstalling the game................

Same problem. I have to tone down SOME settings to Mainstream while others are at Gamer. I strongly suggest you completely turn off the Motion Blur....really increased my FPS.

Have you OCed the 3870X2 card too much, sometimes bad OC gives downfall in performance in some games(happened with me at least).

But it shud definitely work, Catalyst 8.9 is good, install it. ANd many ppl r facing probs with SP1, for now, stay off it..

where are people facing problem with SP1 infact SP1 has solved many problems ..many people i know without SP1 couldn't even install older games and ...if they ever got installed they were not able to start...same happened with me ..after installing sp1 ..i never had any problem with installing any old game ..and neither in running it ...even diablo 2 installed fine and ran cool !

yeah definitely, the train and the hovercraft sequences were pretty badass.

The game is short.....very short (<5 hours) but its fun....action packed and thrilling.

BTW, I got rid of the stuttering by installing new NVIDIA drivers.

The Crysis Warhead game sucks when it comes to GPU optimizing and believe it or not it sucks on ATI cards like hell, wait for a driver update or a patch released by Crytek, sorry dude but this is how it is now(F*** Crytek).
Look at: *www.techspot.com/article/118-crysis-warhead-performance/

9800GTX+ beating HD4870x2(Also HD4870) in gamer quality:shock::shock:
This issue needs serious attention right now from Crytek and ATI:mad:
