I use the Helder Pinto Ultra High Custom Config, it changes some of the values for certain internal graphical settings, but actually improves the look of the game past that of "very high" imo.
Now as you can see my Card isn't especially the mutts nuts, but on my old monitor 1360x768 I would get using this config 25-35FPS No AA with the odd setting on medium/high.
Now I just bought a 1920x1080 Samsung, using the same settings I get between 10-20FPS No AA, but somehow it is pretty playable, and also nice to look at, i was in fact astounded at the sheer clarity and sharpness of 1920x1080, it made me want to play through it all over again. Completed both Crysis n Warhead 6 times each.
So consider this then, what if I bought an Ati HD 4870 1024mb card? I would hazard a guess at me getting between 30-37FPS @1920x1080 No AA, and possibly between 25-32FPS with 2xAA. Even without AA it looks great with the custom config at this res.
As others have said you cannot compare tunnel/closed environment lower dynamic games with less textures and rendering to this game, Crysis 2 come on down!
You will also find there's a fair amount of console games capped at 30FPS, But are playable.
