Texture issue with 8800GT and Crysis Demo

[555BUK]

I have an issue with the Crysis demo and my 8800GT 512MB. If I have all settings set at High, I get the following "blurry" distant objects (just look at the mountains).

However, if I set Texture Quality to Medium (everything else left at High) I get this.

Does anyone else see this issue, and is it solved for retail full game?

It's because at high quality textures, streaming is enabled so textures on objects nearer to you are crisper and lower quality textures are used further away (to keep vram usage down).

I seem to recall that being the case anyway.
