■ How to Configurate "Crysis 1 & 2 & 3" for the best gaming experience!

 
 If you put everything on ultra, then the game no longer runs smoothly, not even with new hardware, so you have to make a compromise and turn some things down without major graphical losses!!!

Everything explained below worked for me and no other things were required to get a good and smooth performance.
If it should be still bad, you can find the link to PCWiki below under Links, there all possible tweaks are recorded/listed!
 
 
 

• Use Commandline Parameter for crysis64.exe:
  adjust maxVram=Graphic Card Memory, I think the Game can not more than 2048 Ram!!
  

  -devmode -cpuCount=4 -exThreads=4 -maxVRAM=4096 -maxMem=2048 -high

• Make this Textfile "autoexec.cfg" and drop it in the Main Game Directory

• Use Commandline Parameter:
  adjust maxVram=Graphic Card Memory, the Rest is the max the Game can!!
  Test always first with this Values, if it run´s well you can test higher!!
  But I'm pretty sure that the Game can not more!!!
