Looks like nV is the way to go if you want to play that game, and I know a bunch of people who do.

Luckily I am not one of them. :p

570,480 are faster than 6970 in those benchmarks... ouchies.
6990 doesnt seem to work with crossfire profiles.

Oh well..... Im sure AMD just needs some more driver work with this game, and things will be back to normal.

by normal I mean 580 > 6970 > 570=480 > 6950 > ect...

Nvidia certainly is much better at this game. But it looks like this game is still very playable at the highest settings on AMD hardware. AMD could stand to get CF working for a better showing, though.

Guys, it's not surprising Crysis 2 is unplayable on dual core CPU's. It's a console port after all, so was written for minimum of 3 cores, just like GTAIV was.

I just discovered the greatness that is BFBC2 multiplayer. I tried playing crysis wars mulitplayer and it's empty. Figured I'd try BFBC2 multi and it's packed and graphics look as good as crysis wars. I'm done with the crysis series fellas. Waiting for BFBC3 a true dx11 game. I don't care if my gtx 580 runs crysis 2 at 200fps personally. I'd expect to as it's a dx9 game.
