Currently downloading, expecting it to really hurt my system on very high settings, but from what I can make out, the game still looks very good on medium settings, and many of the details, especially shadows and other such intensive settings don't take much away from the game.

Shadows will gain you about 10 fps from very high to medium... but
very high shadows look fantastic, best shadows and shadow effects i have seen in a game. Ill play with them on very high ~30fps is fine for me. Maybe another GTX670 is in order

Yea thats all i want is solid 30fps at 1080p i hope my kit can achieve this, i play a lot of ps3 so framerate isnt huge for me on single player games

Just got to the dam bit and it seems less responsive all of a sudden. Looks like I'm going to have to dial down my settings. Either that or trade my 480 for a 670....
Apparently the poor/inconsistent performance is due to the physics of the game, to be specific, a piece of rope moving 
(well for the first level anyway, but surely it would apply throughout?):

Hopefully crytek will sort this out.
Although I tweaked my settings so now everything is running on high except shadows is set to medium and AA to SMAA low x1 with no motion blur and high res. texture pack, game is much smoother, still notice some stutters every now and then.

Depends what FPS you are happy with. if ~45fps very high will be fine
If you want 60fps+ then you will have to drop some settings
I play very high 1440p ~30fps
Did you run the whole game. I have been doing lots of exploring and I'm still not finished at 7.5 hours...
Im proper stuck on a level on this and its doing my head in!!!!
I've just done the bit with a lot of driving (mission from last maybe?) I've destroyed some generator and now it wants me to go to a control room thats surrounded by a deadly drop all round and no way to get to it. Is this a bug or something?
Been trying now for 30 minutes, even trying to glitch it, pile stuff up but still no luck.
**** i'm raging

Lol that took me like 15 minutes to work out too, must have ran around in circles like 20 times.
There is a bridge that is raised up, go to where it should connect to the other side and there is a machine/console nearby that allows you to lower it.
