    What resolution are you playing at? Also, are you using any AA with the game? You have good specs but Crysis still is very demanding. Make sure you are running on full speed and not battery settings, and that you have the best drivers for your video cards.

    Finally, check out special configs for crysis, which will help you run the game much better without sacrificing visual quality.

    Lower your resolution. Then lower some settings if necessary. And no AA. Even a desktop GTX 260 can barely average 25fps on all Enthusiast at WSXGA+.
