This is an extension of the thread "Crysis - Play ultra high setting with high performance in XP" authored by hken. So thanks to him.
I have tried quite a few .cfg tweaks around the web.. including many from the incrysis forum but wasn't satisfied. Most of the tweaks by hken have been retained.. I have added a few of my own create a new System.cfg with a boost of around 2-3 fps overall and no discernible loss in image quality.
This allows me to play Crysis 1.1 @ 1280x1024 with Very High settings in WinXP 32-bit, most notably with default clocks (601/1512/1800) on my 8800GT 512.
Canned Benchmark Scores:-
Max: 39.6
Avg: 33.58
Min: 26.3
Note: In REAL-WORLD game play the lowest min fps i have seen is 16-17 fps in a worst case scenario which is perfectly acceptable in Crysis 1.1.. even according to Brent Justice. http://www.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTQ1NCwzLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA==
