Just wondering how Crysis should run with that rig (High Settings)? I'm getting some low fps at times. I know Crysis is legendary in the specs required to run it at high settings, but I want to make sure there isn't something wrong.

It's playable at max everything for me. It'll dip into the low 20s at times, but usually it's over 30. That being said, it does feel kinda... sluggish a lot.

I'd think that with that GPU, you should haven't any issues at all. I'll let someone else chime in though, as i'm two generations behind on GPUs

That benchmark tool doesn't seem to work for me. I think it has something to do with it being installed on Steam.

When I say high settings I mean just high settings (not very high) and yes, AA is on.

Moved to the ATI (AMD) video card forum, since you seem to have an ATI video card.

I believe Crysis Warhead has similar stress on the GPU, so here is a review with FPS for Crysis Warhead at 3 different resolutions:

The CPU in this is a i7 920 @ 3.7GHz but I doubt results should be that different at the higher resolution and quality settings.

Have you installed the latest drivers for your GPU and patched the game to the latest patch? Should run very smoothly with 0 or 2X AA AF on that setup.

I had AA set to 8x . .

I scaled it back to 2x and its a big improvement. Turning off Vsync was another improvement (but strangely turning it back on didn't seem to change much).

It still slows down at times, in big open areas, but nothing like I was getting before. Is that to be expected? I've developed this super hawk eye when it comes to fps dropping and it just takes me right out of the game, ugh.
