ma frnd having xps can play crysis in med details properly..
hwz crysis in medium settings in ur dv5?? how much fps did u get??
I ran Crysis at medium settings. Instead of giving an average fps rate from a random scene, I decided to check the frame rate I get at the beginning of the game so that you can compare the same scenes in XPS. The results are as below.
Crysis FPS (Obtained Using Fraps):
Resolution: 1280x800, AA off
Value given outside bracket is that of medium settings, value inside the bracket is that of high settings. After I posted the previous results, my video bios was upgraded. So, I checked the frame rates with all settings at 'high' once again.
1. In the very first scene in which the scientist says about North Koreans taking over the island, the frame rate was a constant 27-28 (16-17).
2. In the next scene in which an aircraft is shown (after displaying "seven days later"), it became 7-9 (5-7).
3. In the next scene (inside the plane), it was at 13-14 (9-10). Towards the end of this scene when the planes hatch opened, it fell to 9 (6-7).
4. During the jumping scene, it was at 17 (9-10) when you are looking around. 5. When I fell into the sea, it became 14-15 (9).
6. When I started walking around the island (where the turtle is lying), it was 15-17 (9-10) once in a while reaching 21.
When I choose the 'optimal settings' option available in Crysis, the games sets everything at 'high' @1280x800 & AA off
.

If possible, pelase do a similar check on your friend's XPS and post the results here.
I actually played Crysis for more than 5 hours with all settings 'high' (since the game chose it when I clicked 'optimal settings'). I thought that I am getting >20 fps since I didn't feel any jerkiness (except an occassional less than 1 second jerk under heavy shooting). I came to know it is close to 15 or less only when I ran Fraps.
