Then there's something wrong with your PC not the game.
Edit: Nevermind, noticed what CPU you're using. Its your own fault TBH.
What exactly? It plays Mass Effect, COD4, gears of war, bioshock etc on their respective highest settings flawlessly. Crysis is a resource hog, i like high frame rates the combination of the two resulted in me having to run it at lower settings. I did try it set to high and it looked stunning, but the frame rate hovered around the 20-30 mark which was just too low for me in a FPS.
I fail to see how, i heeded the recommended specifications on the box, my system met them.
This is Crysis not Counter Strike Source.
You're posting on an Overclocking forum and you're reading the back of boxes to see if your computer can run it? Get with the times and upgrade your CPU.
I'm posting on a gaming forum, the overclocking section is elsewhere, i don't see why i should have to have a top end system purely to discuss games. I also don't see why i should overhaul my system for one decidedly average, poorly optimized game when every other game i've tried runs perfectly (see above for the list). There is clearly something wrong with crysis when you see its own developers talking about how the next title will be 'fixed'.
You're trying to play a game that's pushed the boundaries in all parts of the engine, and you're expecting it to run above medium on an ageing rig. That's the problem.
They said it would be more optimized for older rigs. Don't go pulling your Dx10 options out just yet. You'll probably get a few frames increase, but you'll still be on medium or below.
a lot! GTA IV was $100 million supposedly.
.In comparison:
GRID cost £12 million
GTA4 was over $100 million
Tomb Raider Legend £25 million
Call of Duty 2 £4 million
not sure i know many others.. But on the sale of an average $35 game:
$5 goes to a publisher
$3 on manufacturing and distribution
$27 retail costs
For all the ******* and whining crytek did about pc piracy id love to find out how much in total theyve made back on crysis. If they made around double their money back thats pretty good for a pc game.
Also find it amusing they whined about piracy after releasing crysis like before its release they ever knew it existed.
Id like to see the rest of the crysis trilogy but crytek crying and threatening not to stay pc exclusive doesnt help matters, last i read theyre using warhead as a benchmark to see if staying pc exclusive is worth their while.

It would be nice if they released a mod for far cry updating it to cryengine 2, that would be great.
I think those costs are way off (other than GTA4). For example; GRID cost about $13 million...

Nope. Warhead is the last PC exclusive game because there's no time to port it to consoles anyway. All other projects going forward will have PC and console versions, no matter how good the Warhead sales are.
