    I wonder if they included the Crysis fixes this time since Cat 7.11 didn't.

    Well, I've tried the demo. At 1024x640, with settings somewhere between low-medium settings, I got like low 20s just walking around, but it quickly became unplayable in firefights. But this was when the demo was first released and before optimized drivers came out. I might be limited by only having 128MB of GDDR3, since the game recommends 256MB, but with the low resolutions I'm using, I doubt it really matters. I'll be getting more system RAM this Christmas so I'm considering whether I should get the retail Crysis. (Crytek would probably appreciate my business given the reports that Crysis isn't selling very well despite all the hype). With optimized drivers and the 1.1 patch, it'll probably be just playable at 1024x640, but we're going to be looking at low settings.
