A lot of us on here had our Guild Wars 2 keys revoked by Arenanet after purchasing thru CJ's, the reason being the keys were purchased using Cc fraud.

It's not like people listen when you tell them they acquire their keys illegally.

It's the same with most cheap keys unauthorised websites, they either come from grey markets, are licensed to other regions, come from promos (e.g. not legal for resale) and from simple frauds like that.

I only bought it because OCUK members said they used them before, I've never bought from any cheap key site before . I only use retail, steam, amazon us, GameStop, Gamestation , PC world , shopto

Rubbish, you can even go into the game configuration file to enable 3D on AMD too, just add the line:

r_stereosupportamd = 1

So because it supports eyefinity it's suddenly a well optimized AMD game? No, it has tessellation designed to cripple AMD hardware throughout the game, but 2x 7950's will most likely run it smooth, however single cards under 3GB from AMD suffer with awful performance in the game, just Google it...
 
Don't need to google it after just finishing the last 2 levels last night(in prep for Armoured kill maps, I need the space on the Game SSD), using at first 2X6950>70's with blinding performance maxed out@1080p, then just 1 for the ending in 3D with slight reduction in IQ but it still looks great.

Your 2x7950's recomendation is off-putting as well if an individual has any interest in the game too.

I never said it was well optimized for AMD, but anyone with a 6950 upwards is going to have a lovely looking game for not much cash outlay.

Just because it got a bit better performance using Nvidia, doesn't mean to say it's gimped out on AMD and runs poor, your statement would have put me off buying the game if I never new better.

normal internets sillyness :D

play crysis 2 everything on max on my amd rigs

good game and for the price what else can you get that looks that good with those effects = nothing.

also try some of the great free mods available then it looks truly stunning

There is invisible tessellation that was designed to gimp lower end ATI cards, more recent ATI cards have tessellation support now so they will run fine, if your ATI gpu is pre-2011, you most likely will not run this game smoothly.

Sorry for the confusion.

Pre 2011? There wasn't a GPU series generation release in 2011 (The 7970 was reviewed before the end of the year, but didn't launch until Q1 2012)
5XX and 6XXX came Q4 2010.
Was only 2012 that brought us the 6XX and 7XXX.

Also unsure what you mean by "more recent ATI cards have tessellation support now so they will run fine" Tessellation came in 2009 from the 5XXX in DX11 (I hear previous AMD cards such as the 29XX had tessellation things, but it wasn't the same and didn't get used)

Tessellation was intense in Crysis 2, and unneeded in many scenarios.
The initial 5XXX series was really poor with tessellation in comparison to the 4XX and the 5XX that launched after.
AMD corrected that with their 6XXX launch (More so with the 69XX for heavy tessellation) and that was 2010.
