I don't know about this one for sure, however, I am experiencing no problems/issues with respect to performance at all (FPS issues), so I thought I would mention this just in case it does have something to do with it....even if it's just an issue for some of us.

Microsoft has two patches available for Windows 7 users that are using the newest AMD FX-8150/8350 (Vishera) type processors which address and improve the processor scheduling/thread execution core which may or may not be an issue with Crysis 3. I know these have been around for awhile, however, I know several users that do not have them installed.

The only reason I mention this is because I am experiencing more than adequate performance with my eVga 670 SC 4GB GPU & FX-8350 CPU. I notice others with this setup that are having considerable difficulties achieving a decent FPS. I have seen ~ 50 FPS throughout the first two levels at least...with no 'rope' issues either.

Perhaps it's because I am using the CVar Configurator....I don't know....however, it can't hurt to apply these two patches.

Again, I am not sure whether or not this affects performance within the game if you have this setup. You can at least have a look at those KB notes and see for yourself.
