Crysis Patch 1.1 Hands-On: No advantages for XP users?

Sidney · 9th January 2008, 18:54

Today is the launch of the Crysis patch 1.1, and PCGH made some quick benchmarks under Windows XP. Our results: We didn't get any extra Fps (neither in low or demanding settings), something we eagerly waited for. Our test system consists of Core 2 Extreme X6800 and Geforce 8800 GTS/640.

Although word is that Nvidia is about to release a new Forceware (we used the latest 169.21 WHQL for XP) and some user report performance gains in the range of 10 percent + under Vista, this is certainly disappointing in the first glance. In addition, several users reported problems with the installation (in fact, we had to repair our Crysis version as well to get the patch installed).
