Crysis performance - is it us!?

i just played the demo, and performance was very similar to the one i experienced with the beta ; crappy. Now, whenever i read a preview or hands on from a website, they all say it ran great on a dual core and 8800 card. Why do THEY get good performance, and why dont we? Is there something us gamers are missing that is exclusive to websites? Honestly, there has to be something wrong....Crysis performance - is it us!?
Crank up all the settings except shaders quality. Made a huge difference for me. I got an 80% increase in frame rate by turning shaders quality from very high to high and leaving everything else at very high. (on my 8800 GTX) Also, make sure you have the latest beta drivers from nvidia, found here:http://www.nvidia.com/Download/betadrivers.aspx?lang=en-usCrysis performance - is it us!?
Its advertising and EA is the master at lieing then forcing its workers to produce something that isn't possible. I'm glad I wasn't hyped about running this game in DX10 because anything over high seems to require us to go into the future and purchase hardware.
If you remember back when FarCry came out there was no hardware out that could actually run the game on max. I think the top video card when it came out was the FX5950Ultra and it could not run the game maxed.It was months later the the 6600s and 6800s came out that people could actually max it out. I guess Crysis is going to be the same story.

I have a 2.4 Quad core, 2 gigs of ram at 667 speed, and an 8800 GTS (i get over 10,000 on 3dmark06)I have the latest drivers(the ones that came out today)... i get bad FPS on even LOW/Medium FPS (i play with 1600x1000) resolution though cause i dont want my screen to look like crap.Theres gotta be something wrong with my system...
Yeah I dont really know about the higher settings with the higher cards. But I am getter better results than I expected in medium / 1280x1024 on my medium speced system. So I cant really complain.Maybe it has something to do with the fact that you guys are using Vista and/or DX10?
Odd that some are having the issue. On mine it ran smooth as silk on High with 16xAA at 1280x1024.Rig:QX6700 @ 2.66ghz
4gb PC-6400
wd raptor 160gb
8800GTX KO
Definatly a pass for me. Unplayable and I expected alot more from visual quality but with such performance impact its not even worth it even if the frames are around 20-30. Big dissapointment atm but will see what will happen when it releases as far as Crytek improving performance. Huge let down.
it runs like crap withdualcore 6000+ 3,2ghz 8800gts 2gb ram. low or med i get same perfomance
What is your definition of ''like crap''? Did you measure it with fraps? and at what res?
1440x900 im getting very bad frame issue when i driving in open areas.

1280X1024 with most settings on high and textures on medium. Getting OK performance, but stutters every once in a while. A little dissapointed with the performance of the game...
E6600, 8800GTS, 4GB RAM, Vista 64-bit1280X1024 on high was alright, definitely playable, but wasn't ''silky smooth'' for my taste. 1024X768 on medium ran flawlessly though. No question this is a demanding game.
i can run call of duty4 on veryhigh without eny problems but crysis just wont work:(
Crysis demo runs way, way better on my setup than Test Drive Unlimited, DiRT, Top Spin 2, and Caesar Iv... to name a few. Granted those are 4 of the worst optimized games of all time bust still....
At least you can see the game. Mine looks like big blocks everywhere running at 10fps (4400+ 7800GT 2gb RAM).

Trust me youpeople arent missing anything. Crysis certainly needs a heck of a system to get true beauty out of it. My only problem with this game is it lack style likes games out there UT3 to name one. However it really looks astounding when you crank all the settings on high-very highbut good luck with that lol. I also forgot to mention there seems to be a aa-af problem when even setting 2x performance seems to drop 30-40% and jaggies are noticable.
