    Hey everyone, what FPS are you getting with everything on ultra? I seem to be a bit low with it barely hitting above 25fps, just wondering. I have the 1.9 patch btw.

    Thanks

    Edit: Turned VSync off and I seem to be getting slightly above 30fps with everything on ultra but when there is a lot of action it will dip into the 20s.

    Thats normal for everythign on ultra. drop the graphic settings to the medium setting. You wont see much of a difference, just postprocessing is alittle slower and texture details will render in front of you at a distance. Still looks amazing!!

    Ultra on Crysis 2 was a gift from the game devs to the PC fanbase, namely, for people with beastly desktops. Sorry, just what we have to deal with when our main rig is a laptop.
