That's an idiotic way of thinking. You sit on a console game (say, Gears of War) locked in at 1280x720 on "low/medium" settings, meanwhile, with Crysis, on Medium settings at 1280x720, you've bested what any console game can do (visually). Moving up from there, any step up is an improvment. "Maxing out" a game designed to grow with your hardware is impossible - because "maxing out" usually implies doing things that *are not* efficient, like turning on a large amount of anti-aliasing, while running taxing lighting effects, while playing at ultra-high resolutions.
What you're doing is throwing a temper tantrum for your ego "if it can't sell all the sliders on MAX then I don't want it!". Then don't buy it - but Crysis is well optimized, I've been able to push the single player demo to produce visuals that top what many other PC titles can display, and I don't even particularly care for the game. Crysis' ultra-high end visuals are being built for GPUs that aren't out yet, it's not that there's a lack of optimization, it's that it's being built so there's always a higher setting to unlock, making it remain the graphics king for as long as possible.
Your complaint is purely one of ego.
