Next, i started scouring through Crymod to find the best mods that will help spruce the game up just that little bit more. Here's a list of finalists:
- NanoSuit Ultra Customizable
- Pure Blood
- Very High Quality Config
- Replacement Shaders for Crysis
I tried a texture pack as well but i didn't like the looks of the vegetation so i took it off. Any other mods you guys could recommend?
Also, i'm going to be taking tonnes of images (duuuhhh) but am curious as to which you guys would prefer to see? Do you want informative shots with r_displayinfo enabled or would you prefer artistic shots with no info and perhaps no HUD?
Preview shots:

I could also just run it with the FRAPS ticker in the corner?
The game looks so gorgeous right now and even with it completely maxed out like this, i'm still getting very playable frame rates (40+) at 1920x1200 with 4xAA! Loads of fun!

nice pics shin.
Try those also:
Global Ambient Lighting/POM Anisotropic filtering
vignetting
SSAO shader (use this instead of the replacement shaders one, it's better)

don't forget to force 16xAF in nvidia CP
EDIT: also try XtremeFX , very nice particle mod

God i need a better card.....
I like the no hud screenshots though. I wouldn't mind a few particle mods when it comes time to explosions and such.

What would be better, a GTX 580 or 2x 1GB GTX 460's?

2 460s is cheaper and perform just about the same if not a tad bit better
but you wont be able to add another card in the future

True, but then i'd have to spend some more on getting a new psu if I were to get another card, I only have 750W :/. Thanks anyways

How do you actually install the .pak files? do you just drop them into the /game folder?
Decided i want to really mod the hell out of crysis ^^ may as well give my uber overclocked hd5870 something to do

Yep, that's all that's required, drop the .pak's into Crysis/Game/ and load the game 
Think i'm gunna go with no display info but with the FRAPS ticker on the corner. Could be tonight... let's see what's in store

Wasn't the Gtx 580, designed especially for Crysis 2?
I was just wondering, if it really was, would I need to buy a two way Sli board and an extra 580 or/ just stick with my build with one Gtx 580 to theoretically max out the Pc version of Crysis 2? Or am I just panicking?

If you have a decent processor etc Crysis 2 will run great with just one, and remember it runs better (so they say) then Crysis 1 did because of all the optimisations in the engine.

Well, that's good to hear.
Might need to spend on more cooling equipment though.

No.
To quantify the statement, in order to change the design of a product of a multi-billion dollar company is going to take a lot more weight than crytek
Crysis 2 will have some dx11 effects, and are sponsored by nvidia. Therefore the marketing scheme states that crysis 2 is made for the gtx580. When, in fact, it's made for any good enough dx11 card
