I just got Crysis 3 and was wanting to play it, but it laggs a ton on every setting.

I have played farcry 3 on full but then recently that started lagging aswel.

My Config is.

Q9550 QuadCore CPU
4GB ddr 2 Ram
GTX 480 GPU

NyxSlayer has a good idea, try playing a few other games and see if they slow down as well, install a game on 1 harddrive and another game on another harddrive, you will find out if its a harddrive issue or a different issue.

Funny you should mention HDD.

When i watch movies my the movie hangs for a short while then i hear what sounds like the hard drive starting up then it goes on.

I guess you rig is not helping at all, as you might know Crysis 3 is the game with the best graphics so far... Do you play another video game like Battlefield 2/3?? any game where you can compare the FPS ??

Another issue could be the temperature, I mean global warming does not only affects the enviroment, but our gaming desktops as well... xD try downloading a GPU monitor though

Ok i have installed the latest tomb raider and Dead space 3 and they both run on full graphics just no AA +- 60 - 70 fps my pc's temp is fine will test installing on diff hdd tonight.

I also saw last night sometimes i can play cry 3 on high with no prob with more demanding environments but then i get to a closed off location and it lagg so much i cant even play on low.

temperature may have somthing to do with it, hardware will slow down almost to a pause if it gets really hot, which will effect game performace, rivatuner or MSI after burner are 2 free overclocking tools that come with an accurate temp monitor.

I have checked my pc is not in power saver mode but thank you all for the trouble.

I have formatted my pc and installed windows 7 again and it seemed to have helped a bit.

turn off background services from task manager,,,, And the most important thing .... When playing games, disable your antivirus temporarily.... Install Service Pack 1 .... update your drivers and try also updating your Bios... :D
