Crysis issues

[dannydy]

yesterday just tried crysis on my new laptop

Dell
2.2Ghz dou core
4GGhz DDR2
NVidia 8600M Gt

during game playing, lacking, like "slideshow". after i reconfiguring the graphic setting, then much more better, much still not really smooth. A little bit disappointed. Besides, i'll much worry about the heat on my laptop, although i played in the aircon room, but the heat still at the certain level.
could anyone tell me where can i get directX 10.

Thanks

Do you have Vista? Cause you need Vista to use DX10

And running the game in DX10 mode is just going to decrease performance even more

 

[dannydy]

oo isn't>?
i'm using window XP service pack two.
I've already get it on Microsoft website.

Laptops aren't really designed to run intensive 3D games. There are some on the market (Dell/HP) that are designed specifically to run games. If yours isn't one of them, a game like Crysis just isn't going to cut it unless you lower all the graphics settings to low, and it still will give you a bit of a headache.

Yeah, pretty much as above. If you want to run Crysis in the higher settings range invest in a new comp or buff gaming laptop. But as i said DX10 and Vista will just degrade your performance even more on that laptop

Drop your resolution some, and set Post Processing to low. That should help a lot, and don't turn on AA or AF.

ok i'll try afterward,could you tell me what's AA and AF?Where would i set those things>?
