Hmmmm, I was able to play Crysis Warhead with all enthusiast settings; Vsync[Dunno what it does] and 16xQ AA enabled.

it took a long time to load and system used to freeze for some time after quit to desktop. During the playtime I encountered small glitches but overall I was satisfied with the gameplay with almost no lag. From what I can remember, I used to get 11FPS-16FPS during the gameplay.

But I heard somewhere that 9800GT cannot handle Crysis Warhead at high settings. So, my question is, is it normal with my GPU?

Processor is OC to 3.6GHz.................GPU to 702/1620/929.

Thanks in advance.

Yes its normal, the 9800GT's is equivalent to the 8800GT.
The settings are way too high for your graphic card, you need atleast a 4870 to play at those settings, however if you're looking for an upgrade, you can try getting the 4890 and you'll encounter much more FPS at those settings

Higher FPS means similar graphics quality but faster gameplay right?

i wouldnt call 15 fps exactly handling a game.

Graphics Quality will be the same. Its the FPS that dictates how smoothly a game plays.

Well, I just noticed it for a second or two. Maybe it was higher but I didn't notice. But the gameplay was smooth with some rare glitches.

You want at least 25fps IMO. Try lowering things that you wouldn't notice anyways.

I don't even consider playing a game at anything below 25. Then again, I'm picky.

Wait, what?

A 9800GT 8800GT can't handle Crysis at that point. I'd bet it ran out of VRAM since you had 16xAA enabled...

But I didn't see any problem.

Well, if you're playing it at like 1024x768, a 9800GT will probably 'handle' those settings I suppose.

If you were at 1680x1050 or above, like most people around here like to play at, then no way would those settings be 'playable'. It'd be like a slideshow.

So it's not that a 9800GT physically 'can't play' crysis/wh at those settings, it's just that it can't do them at a remotely high resolution and still be playable.

Vsync hold the FPS at your monitors refresh rate usually 60.

To OP, I can't believe 11-16fps was playable for you.

Like the quote above, 25FPS seems to be the smooth sweet spot for me. What res did you run this at? If below, 1440x900/1280x1024, it'd be kinda useless getting a card like the HD 4870 and up or the GTX 260 and up.

I originally ran Crysis with a 8600GT on a 22" LCD and I was on medium and got like 30 FPS..

If I was you I'd turn all that AA off if you only have a 8800GT

Sorry, but what were other PC specs? And proof?
