Can't play Crysis with new Asus G71 laptop

Hello,

My brother just bout a new Asus G71 notebook today, but he cannot play on Crysis on the optimal settings at all. The game presets them to High, but he can only play the game on low settings on a very low resolution.

I updated the Nvidia driver and Vista drivers, then the game ran fine on high settings . . . for about 30 seconds. Next I updated the game to 1.21 and it is still unplayable at medium and crashes on high settings.

Here are his specs:

Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53ghz
6GB Ram
GTX 260m 1GB gpu
500GB hard drive
Windows Vista 64

Hypothetically he should be getting better than 2 to 8 FPS on high settings, and at least playable frame rates on medium.

well, i got it to work, and boy do I feel stupid . . .

The default power setting was "power saver" . . . I'm not used to trying to game on a laptop lol. Once its set to high performance everything runs great

I was going to ask if it was plugged in or running off battery, but then thought better of it. Surprisingly this is a common thing where default when plugged in is 'balanced' and not 'performance'.

Glad you caught it though.
