I think I'll get 40-50FPS @ 1080p, and drops to 30, so its still playable with a single 580, but if 30FPS drops bother you then SLI is the only way.

Its not that gpu hog as you think mate. I am getting 15 -20fps in my 5750 @ 1600x900 res. Game looks gorgeous with dx11 + high res texture pack.
Tkin's system can easily play the game at fullhd with maxed settings and give over 40fps consistently.

Not sure as I never actually try measuring my FPS in DX9 mode, but look what I found:
DX9

And tadaa, DX11:

Don't worry, it'll play good, cause this is 1080p, you play @ 1680x1050(like me), so I'd say 35-40FPS avg and drops to 28 around, perfectly playable.
OK, after reinstallation of Windows, I have installed this game again with all the updates and patches and boy it do looks far better now. But hang on, frame-rates are gonna be an issue. Indoors, it butter smooth at 1080p at ultra settings with motion blur off, but once outdoors and you immediately feel the lag. So still some work remains for Crytek as far as DX11 performance goes. Regarding gameplay, well, there's little can be done.

Its your CPU at fault, DX11 crysis gains a lot from 3 and 4 cores, dual core provides lower fps(not an issue in DX9, cause in DX9 no performance is gained from going to 3/4 core from dual core).
I'd say get a quad core(or an octo core
) and you'll get good FPS with that 6950 of yours.

^^ Yes your 6950 is not performing to its full potential. If you change your cpu to something substantial, you won't notice any lag since you will get over 30fps for sure.
You won't believe but my 5750 is giving 15 -20fps with dx11 + high res textures and everything maxed out to ultra @ 1600x900. My cpu isn't holding back the gpu at all. If i plug in a 6950, i might get around 40 fps or even more.
Crytek has done a fabulous work on dx11 performance. Try running metro 2033 with DX11 and quality set to very high. It will give lesser frames than this.
One thing to mention here is the HARDOCP review for crysis 2 dx11 performance. That was totally biased. Those guys talked some bull$hit about the patches failing to install properly. But buddy i , tkin and many others installed it in one go and never faced any problems. Besides the game looks way better than previous and i think much better than the screenshots they posted.
Overall i can say that particularly the crysis 2 review from hardocp was halfhearted and biased. They should have thought twice before giving it a "fail" remark.

^^ That is a generic review. I would say even a core i3 2100 will give more frames than skud's core 2 duo E7400. So depends on performance per core as well.
Our member rchi84 has a core i5 2400 + 6950 2gb. He's getting buttersmooth frames both inside and outdoor frames. But its true that in 1080p, games become more gpu hog than cpu.

Even my old Celeron game 30 FPS at Gamer settings and 640*480. The game is vert very well optimised.vickybat said:

My 9500 doesnt support Dx11 does it? I got my new Phenom last month only. I was done playing and finishing the game a month before that.
A round of applause to Crytek for great optimisation from my side

It looks awesome with DX 11, but I think what Crytek must really get kudos for, is for proving that the DX version doesn't matter as much as dedicated programming does.
I can guarantee you, that DX9/DX11 comparisons aren't as stark as the Dx 9/Dx 10 comparisons with the original Crysis.
Having progressed further in the game, I do feel that the AMD drivers aren't optimised for DX 11 version of this game yet. Maybe Catalyst 11.7 or 11.8 will be able to deliver better performance.
i read online (maybe on OCN, not sure) that the 69xx series doesn't run as well as the 68xx series with DX 11, because the tessellators aren't being used and Catalyst tries to run it with a Tessellation factor of 64, which only the Geforce 580 is capable of handling.
Not unexpected, given that it's a a TWIMTBP game, after all

try the DX9 very high Crysis 1 hack, makes difference between DX9 and DX10 mode only of half performance.
