well, gpu and cpu are more important than ping since they need to be good enough to play the game.

Plus, you have no control over ping, only the ISP. Also, most newer games see a definite benefit from having a decent CPU especially games like crysis.

all you guys still using sb
hows yours mobos doing ?jaja
oced 980>oced sb stop the trolling
look at 3dmark 11 best dx11 features and pretty good graphics and 3 580s can barely take it
obviously if crytek is serious about making crysis2 like what crysis1 was in 07 it would have better graphics and more tesslation then that bench
thats why im saying single 580 no way in hell will max crysis2

Thanks for everybody who actually helped or actually answered. Lets just hope most of us can run it in maximum settings. Because why are we getting this game because of the awesome gameplay and the very best graphix.
