I don't know about anyone else but I am getting more fps in warhead. It is a lot smoother on very high. Fairly smooth except when I have a flashlight on in the dark. I am also getting that CPU recovery problem but temps are good and can run crysis no problem.

Did you get it from Steam or buy the disc & box? I read that the Steam version has already had a patch lol.

Hm, maybe the Steam patch has helped performance a bit?

Well I lowered my clocks and now I don't get the VPU crash but Crysis still gets a lot of crash to desktops! Ah I can't play having a CTD every half hour!

I dunno, I can't put my finger on it, but the story seems to lack depth.
I'm just running around killing NK, why? I'm not sure?

I'm not getting any crashing, but I'm having graphic problems, I'm getting flashes and line streaks like looking down railroad tracks, I have a few screen shoots, but it never seem to catch the long line V type things. My cards are at stock, and around 67c under load, I turned the textures down, never helped, every thing is set to gamer, 1680-1050 and no AA. Any ideas?

I was, till I found out that Windows had Virtual memory turned off....

Other than that, its smooth sailing for me, higher frames than I averaged in Crysis(All Enth, shaders on Gamer, 1280x720 res) sits me at a rough 30-40 range of fps. Thats a LOT better than I ever got in Crysis. As for storyline, I played the first 2-3 hours with loud metal blaring into my ears, so I have absolutely NO idea what was going on, I was just enjoying smashing enemies in all sorts of creative ways. First run through is on Delta, fairly easy so far(Nanosuited enemies are a pain in the arse though).

Getting crashes to desktop and random graphical corruption, even when everything is dialed right back to stock settings.

Otherwise, not too bad at all. Basically an example of a solid, albeit rather short, expansion pack.
