Blimey, at matched clocks to the 3770k as well. If news games continue to be as well optimised on the CPU as this, my 8350 might just end up staying for longer than I expected!

One thing I will note - its worth keeping an eye on your GPU temps for enforced throttling as this game makes my cards hotter than Furmark! Absolutely NOTHING gets my cards as hot as Crysis 3!
This. It took my max power target % to 130 (I have it set to 118 max in afterburner!) I had to down clocks on gpu memory after it crashed. Loops of heaven 3 and 4 did not crash when i used the settings before

I bet folks running high screen resolutions and over volted GPU's with air cooling and small water loops are running into huge throttling problems and haven't yet noticed.
God knows what the code is doing, but the work-rate is epic!
I can run Furmark for an hour and get to 48 - 51 C where she levels out.
Battlefield 3 for 2 hours, levels out at 45c
Black ops 2 for 2 hours, levels out at around 43 c
20mins on Crysis 3 has them at mid 50s... I saw 55 last night!

Everything on very high apart from shaders and shadows, they're on high. TXAA Medium (I LOVE TXAA, Assassins Creed 3 with TXAA was amazing too). I been gaming about an hour now and max I've seen my Windforce is 62, 63 on the CPU.
I keep missing the story line because my jaw is dropping from the graphics, just got to the dam part - Wow.

N00b question, whats the one i should use on antialiasing mode? Im currently getting around 45fps on high to very high 1080p
Thanks
Thanks

The biggest difference for me was changing from MSAA to SMAA, big boost in frame rates on my 7950 but I guess that can be expected.
I have a slight overclock on my GTX670 (which takes it to past stock speed benchmarks of a GTX680) with a custom but not too noisy fan curve -50c/50%, 60c/65%, 70c/75%, 80c/85%. Max temp ever has been 67c. 1189 on the core with boost, memory at +400 (3402mhz) +110 on core (then plus kelper boost)
1440p in all very high, and no aa look sweet.
You see the same in multiplayer in parts! I saw one bit where everyone was jumping around in an outside pond, presumably admiring the light reflections on the water and stuff!
I do this for multiplayer, hitting high 70-100 fps fxaa (all you need, the game is extremely crisp anyway!)
SP I crank it up and use TXAA, gorgeous!
What res? Might try mp in 1080p high
MP 1080 @ high, texture resolution very high + fxaa = smooth, it's pretty fast paced when your system isn't sluggish.

Don't hate me guys but I have managed to make Crysis 3 fully maxed a lot more playable for me. At 1400p even with my xfire 7970s and a 2700k @4.4ghz, with everything maxed its dipping into the low 30's with AA off. My solution?......play it on my pad. I know, I know its a pad for 1st person but with the money Ive spent on the horsepower I have I hate having to knock anything down (aa dosn't really bother me). It's loads smoother and although the pads a little clunky it allows me to take in "maximum visuals"
I only resorted to the pad in the dam level though and will try M&KB after the level and see how it feels.

Here are some very interesting shots you might like
1440p, no AA, no motion blur, very high textures. Comparing High system settings to very high. Mainly the shadows and some lighting change but not much. BUT - a whopping, almost 30fps increase!
sod it, im leaving it in high - hardly anything looks missed and i would prefer another 30fps thanks! Single player is similar to multiplayer in fps hit/gain
(i5 760@4ghz, 8gb ram, GTX670@1189/3402)

You mean a pad, like a pad... errr... an XBOX type pad with triggers????
Have you got a pubed up MS ball mouse?? My G400 is fine
