Supposedly Dx 11 looks best in 3D. The extra geometry from tessellation gives characters and figures more volume and rounded curves, but I don't have a 3D rig so I couldn't tell you. Crysis 2 was specifically designed for vertical 3D gameplay, but Metro 2033 has the most advanced 3D graphics to date.

I can max out BF3 Dx 11 19x10 no AA no MSAA Ultra with my 6970 stock.

I can't max out Crysis 1 Ultra 19x10 19x10 even without AA, not even on my 7970 1125 1575

Actually I do play at those settings and it is okay, but it isn't perfect like BF3. In Crysis FPS often dip in 40s or even lower. And this isn't Crysis 2 Dx 11 which would be even worse,

I must have played a completely different BF3 than everybody else. The game is quite literally FILLED with garbage low-poly models. If it is making use of DX11 at all, it certainly isn't noticeable to me.

I mean...look at weapons modeling in this game - - the scope rims look almost like octogons.

Crysis 2 is superior to BF3 in both its use of tessellation and in the quality of the models and textures to begin with.

I love BF3 MP....but let's be honest - - take a second to look around and you'll see how much of the environment is smoke and mirrors.

What is your processor because a 7970 runs the crap out of Crysis 1 at 1920x1080, and Crysis 2 runs better even in DX11 with textures.

2600k at 4.3. And no it doesn't crap out of crisis 1. I get min fps around 55+ in the benchmark but in some maps the minimum I get is in the 40s. And that is normal for a 7970 evn from Internet benchmark websites. Avg is like 60-70 or so with occasional 80-100. Almost never below 45. So it is playable but not like bf3 where min under any circumstance is around 65-70 that too with 4x aa plus 4x msaa
