Crysis Warhead was only launched on September 19th, but already a modder has allegedly found a way to boost the game's performance, apparently improving framerates by up to 60 to 70% per second.

Though we haven't checked out the new mod, the screenshot comparisons between Enthusiast mode and with the new config file installed show slight differences.

However, the real boost to perforamce appears to be with improved framerates.

The reaction on the Crymod forums is generally positive:

All I can say is wow, it took my FPS from 20ish (on gamer!) to a damn solid 35 fps at the end fighting the final exosuit, amazing considering all that is going on during that battle.

I also went and poked around the jungle and it looks amazing with a pretty solid 35 fps even when being hunted by a gang of pka, reports KPWV.

This is a great config. Gave me 50% fps with hardly any visual loss, enthused Jaju123

Not all reaction was positive though, with one user claiming that the performance config file causes his game to crash frequently whilst running it using DX9.

Over the coming weeks, we can expect to see a host of new mods released for EA's explosive shooter.

You can download the mod here , but please note, we haven't tested it ourselves.
