Very good Crysis Warhead Config!

[Eliminator]

the crymod config sucks... it looks worse than my config and runs a tad worse too... if anyone wants to try mine... simply set everything to enthusiast except shadows on gamer... and in the cfg you just add
r_MotionBlur=0
r_DepthOfField=0
r_UseEdgeAA=0
r_SSAO=0

you can remove the motionblur and depthoffield lines if you like those effects on....

What Warhead config should I use with my system? what CCC level should I use?

[FastRedPonyCar]

Meh, didn't do so much for me. It wasn't bad but I still think that after me and Gaco wore out the config options in crysis, my modifications to the XConfig's cfg file based on what me and Gaco found that worked best with Crysis is still the best config I've come across when it comes to best looks and performance.

You'd have to take screenshots of it vs a higher visual content config to tell any difference. Once it hit that point for me, I was sold on the fact that it was good becuase I couldn't tell hardly if any difference visually but the frames were easily 10+ more than normal.

I can live with that.

Put this in an autoexe file and see what you guys who haven't tried it think.

Old thread, but just wanted to comment on your config. :)

Best i've used so far (Mster/CCC), frames don't take too much of a hit and I'm enjoying it so far, replayed up to Relic with this config.

[jolle]

Gotta try this out.
Found it quite playable with 4x SSAA yesterday, at 1920x1080, with gamer settings.
Though it was just on the limit, but IQ takes a huge leap with SSAA.
