Bottleneck?

[Clearcut]

Hi, I played Crysis on my previous card (7600gt 256mb) with all settings medium other than 2 on high. Ok I only had 1gb of ram but I was getting 30-40fps through fraps.
Now I have just installed an 8800gt and I am getting around 30-35fps with the same settings (still 1gb ram)
This does seem strange to me, do you think the more powerful card with the lack of ram is causing some kind of bottleneck?
thanks for any advice

Giving us a complete list of your hardware would be useful like your processor(if it's at stock or overclocked), version of drivers if you are using .etc

Seconded, I only used to get playable fps on my 6800GS ( just 10% slower than your card in most cases) on 800x600...

me also. Only got 15-20fps on med with my x1950gt. With my new 8800gts 320mb I get 20-30fps on 1680x1050 all high except shadows and object detail on med.
