I run on extreme settings with 50-60fps

I'm pretty sure you don't. And if you do, how???

6GB DDR3 RAM
Sapphire Radeon HD5850
Core i7 950 @ 3.5GHz

it's possible..
crysis 2 isnt really that demanding. not really CPU bound either.
I ran this on my old system (e7200 dual core at 3.1ghz with 8800gt) and runs fine at 40fps on low settings.

My current rig (got the parts last week)

i5 2500k @ 4.0ghz
Sapphire HD 5870 1gb
8gb Patriot RAM 1333mhz

runs extreme at 60+ constant fps.

My Pc eats this game alive. 60fps locked all times.

Crysis 2 runs 60fps locked all day on Extreme setting @ 5850x1080p. PRICELESS!! See you in the game!!

I have a i7-990x
tri-sli gtx 570
Gigabyte G1 Assassin mobo
24 gb ram
and bought a new 120hz BenQ monitor
Cpu liquid cooling ordered and gpu liquid cooling soon.


With the new monitor get 120-140 fps! I will soon buy a Nvidia 3d Vision kit and see how it looks in 3d.

I made mine as cheap as I could, getting any part I could on the best bargain- deal I could find, and getting the case from a friend.

I'm working on liquid cooling the CPU, I have most of the parts for it.

It runs on Very High flawlessly, and can run Extreme, but at points the controls feel somewhat slow, so I leave it at Very High.

My system was orignally built for triple head desktop for office work but the 5770 ran Crysis and after a 10 year lay off I'm back gaming again. Already upgraded that 5770 to 6870HD

Next upgrades will be RAM going to 16GB then a decent DAC for those speakers/cans

The campaign runs absolutely constant on the 60's, from time to time there's a frame drop during mp, however it's only noticable with a frame recording tool.

Btw any recommendations to give my system ( a few posts ago) a boost without spending big bucks, don't want anything to bottleneck either. For that matter does anyone know what the bottleneck in my rig might be and if so how bad? Thanks
