2^ I didn't know DOF and motion blur speed the game up ... in that case I would definitely leave them on, but, at least in the case with DOF, I thought it brings performance down because id does so in metro 2033, and not just mildly.
I'll definitely try to unlock the 4th core, but I want to be sure that I'm getting a new gpu first.

According to that first chart, it might be possible to get close to 30 fps with your current CPU. That's playable.
It also looks like it's possible to get 30fps on a system with a GTX 460, as seen in the second chart. As far as DX11 goes, the GTX 4xx series is known for being able to tessellate reasonably well. Since you'll be playing at 1280x1024, Crysis 2 may very well be playable with that system, at maximum settings.
~30 avg fps is what I figured I'd get too if I unlocked all the cores, an 25 at most for 3 cores (with horrible minimums, obviously), but I was hoping someone would disagree with that, in the positive sense
The GTX 460 was mid-range last year, and cards haven't changed much since then. Even if you're not able to max out Crysis 2 (why would you even want to play it?), it's still capable of playing all modern games at your resolution, at medium or high settings. I think. If you find yourself CPU bound, you can always pop in a Phenom II at very little cost.
Actually, no, I can't, at least not right now - that's why I'm going for the "green" edition, as in the "we're trying to sell you a defective video card that runs at lower clock speeds and obviously does not overclock, but we're hoping you're a gullible tree hugging hippie, and so we'll market the card's weakness as a strength, sort of like how apple markets their operating systems as virus-free, when the reality is that no hacker cares about iOS because it's crap, which is why they don't make viruses for it" edition.
