I spent a £1000 on my last PC when crysis came out just to find nothing could run it at a steady frame rate, I'm all up for investing in a new rig but I will wait and see what performance the latest hardware is getting! so I will play on my console until then.
No one could run the first Crysis at a steady frame rate, most still can't. Crysis 2 is better optimized to look better and use less.
Think of it as a suit upgrade, without actually replacing the suit

I was able to run crysis on my 8600 gs gpu...thats a mobile gpu. If you spent 1000 buck and still didn't get a decent framerate, you are better playing consoles because i seriously doubt ur hardware knowledge
Sorry what I meant was a steady frame rate at very high settings! I had a intel quad core 2.6Ghz (Clocked at 3Ghz) 4GB ram and a 8800GTX (this card was best at the time) and used to play at 1280x768 with 2x AA In high to medium settings on vista 64x the famerate was almost a slide show toward the end of the game.
