Hi, so i just bought Crysis 3, and I'm really disappointed by my frame rate, i did a couple of tests by staying in one area and this was the result:

Very high 8x MSAA vsync on (beautiful): Highest 49 ~ 44 average around 32 fps but with massive drops when turning / running pretty much unplayable a lot of the time

Low no AntiAliasing vsync on: highest 60 ~ 52 average 49 but again with massive FPS changes upon turning / sprinting around. really really breaks immersion

How can disabling all the eye candy and going from 8x msaa to nothing only give 15 FPS ?

RIG:
GTX 770 4GB SLI
i5 3570k
8gb RAM
extreme 4 mobo

can anyone help me out, any tips on which settings are KILLING my fps so badly ? thanks guys
