Shadows being rendered by the CPU, FOV affecting the FPS a lot because increasing FOV means you can see more objects to load (which guess what?: are rendered by the CPU instead of the GPU) and while you'd think crysis 3 is well optimized because your GPU usage might be high, that's only because they've arranged for some eye candy to eat your GPU (like AA and Post processing and Game effects)... Your GPU is not being used to its full potential...

And if it was, everybody here would have higher FPS in crysis 3, and NOBODY would feel the need to buy a Better Graphics card and that's exactly what they want people to think: "oooh Crysis 3 is a monster, it will eat your PC, you Need better hardware..." lol

that is the reason I'm stuck having to fiddle around, tweaking all the settings, tryin all the tricks I know to keep as much eye candy as I can while staying @ a solid 60fps

Really......................................tell me more about the obvious

I think its been pretty aware in the last few years that our hardware isn't being used at its fullest, regardless of game. We have the hardware to do a lot more, its the developers that are putting the time or willing to do so.
