I think it's the trees more than anything. I get double the framerates in Far Cry 2, even though it uses the same engine. The only difference is the palm trees and foliage etc. Sure, the engine probably isn't as efficient as it could be, but I think it's mostly the models and textures in crysis that make it so slow.To this day, I'm still a firm believed that it's because of an uber crappy engine. If they let Valve do the Cryengine, you'd get many more FPS out of that game with less GPU processing power.
I had a 965 for a few days and wasn't all that impressed with it.. It's really just a pre-overclocked 955 for like $40 more. They're both equally stable at 3.6ghz on stock cooling, so I figured I'd save the $40. Still a great processor, cheaper than an intel Q8200, and way, way faster, yet the 965 didn't strike me as any better than the 955 for the extra money.AMD Phenom II X4 965 OC to 3.6ghz (Id go higher but lack proper cooling)
