Here is my pc specs:

2 HD 7970's 6gb each
FX 8350 4.4ghz
H100i
Corsair Vengeance 16 gb RAM 1833 mhz

i can easily run Crysis 3 on max settings with 8xmsaa at full hd with 60+ fps and even BF4 at max at 90 fps, but Crysis 1 lags like hell for me even at 2x antialising, i get like 20-30fps, is it because the game is not optimized for Win 7? My OS is a Win 7 Ultimate 64bit, Thx!

Well it's definitely not Win7 and the game, because you've got more GPU than I do (single GTX 680) and I get into the 50s at 1920x1200 at 4xAA and maximum graphics sliders. Our CPUs can be considered close enough, so that's not it either. Has to be something in C1 not playing nice with your dual GPU setup. Have you tried it running with a single card and see what happens to performance? Only other thing you may want to try is cleaning up the drive with CCleaner and make sure there are no registry errors. Also, have you checked the Vsync setting on C1? Make sure it's off. Other than that, have no idea. Good luck.

Crysis 1 was not a very optimized game as it's so old I can see why even a 780ti would have low fps because the game just wasn't coded that great and drivers for it haven't improved much. Try disabling AA altogether
