Why can't I run crysis at high settings?

[sewy18]

Hey guys should my computer be able to handle high settings @1680x1050 because I seem to be having some lagg/stutter problems sometimes.

E8400@3.6GHZ
8800GTS 512 (G92)
Vista x64
8GB (4x2) Memory
Sound blaster XFI Fatal1ty pro
OCZ gamexstream 700W

Lower the resolution a little.

Or alternatively disable DX10 in settings.

disable all background programs, especially Windows Defender.

You'll probably have to end Defender 3 or 4 times.

i don't think a 8800gts is enough to play high at that resolution i get 50fps with a e8400 and 9800gx2 at that resolution high quality but i'm using windows xp
