I get 40-50, you just need lots of graphics horsepower. DX11 ultra is at the highest end of PC gaming.
Tradiooo's post is laughable, there's nothing particularly good about his PC and he expects to get 60fps on Ultra. Ok, maybe a bit harsh, but it's not exactly the highest end possible.
hmm your fps is what i was expecting frankly as our machines are similar in power maybe its the difference between ati dx11 coding and nvidia?

seems reading up on other forums a high ram 8gb and 2 graphic cards are really need for dx11
lol. that couldnt be true ?

Honestly seems to be ok here on a single overclocked 480gtx. fps anywhere from 30-50 with a few dips.
I havent played it much though yet, just a quick nosey a the new shiny bits.
Seems to be bad for ATI cards.

Wow it looks a lot better than before (in screenshots, don't own it myself and won't unless it reappears on Steam).

ive got 2 5870s so really similar in gpu power maybe slightly more powerful I know a single 5870 is more powerful but sli is better than xfire.
Finally!
Been holding off playing this as i was waiting for the DX11 update!
Now i can start playing it.
I had planned on doing the same (held off buying it) but got suckered in by an EA sale a couple of months back. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
Looks much better for sure & does not need a 64 bit OS either thats Crytek BS I installed it on 32 bit & got high res textures. Still the same terrible gameplay nothing can fix that & so boring its just about better looking than Crysis 1 but still very lacking apart from the Tessellation DX11 is not very noticeable..........

Hmmm it seems judging from comments here and on mycrysis.com, some people are running dx11 fine and some aren't. Could it be combination of driver issues coupled with vram usage ?
As some have showed that it is consuming around 1.5GB vram, then how are the 1GB cards such as 5870, 460 are still able to run it although at lower frame rates? Is the system ram also anotehr factor now for those with less than or around 1GB vram?

I think its more a case of Nvidia throwing money at a game so that it runs well on their card but **** on AMD cards so as usual AMD owners get totally screwed over.
**** YOU NVIDIA!

You mean it is better optimised for Nvidia cards?
Will AMD driver update CAP improve performance for AMD users?

Yes exactly that. Thats what "the way its meant to be played" means.
Hopefully but dont expect miracles. Nvidia cards are better at tessellation anyway.
So what does that leave ATI with... NVIDIA better with OpenGL/Brink and Crysis/2, SLi better than CrossFire... so from what I've read the last few days.

AMD cards offer phenomenal pricing. My next card will be Nvidia though as I will have the money for one come my next upgrade.
Please don't devolve this into a fanboy fight between graphics companies.
Considering I'm on AMD/ATI. I'm just saying what I've read and always getting fluctuating reports is all.
