Crysis Warhead: Benchmark

What's the concensus of this game on a GTX280? I'm getting like...15-20 FPS on my GTX280 Crysis runs better at 4xAA!!!), 1680x1050, Enthusiast, 2xAA...I'm guessing that is a bit low? I'm on Beta drivers, so should I go grab some release drivers?
 
I thought Warhead would run on very high settings at 16x10 on a $600 pc, if I recall correctly, isnt this what Crytek said?

So how does a $550 4870x2 not run the game smoothly? If this is so I would just boycott Crytek for their lies no matter how good the game is, which I suspect is not very good to begin with.

Most is fun, some sucks. Don't know how many times I died waiting for fucking "Cupcake" to blow open the mine entrance. One of the most annoying levels ever. "Psycho, hold the perimeter....no, we won't help you kill anything, not even the large aliens shooting you from above who prevent you from holding the perimeter." I think I started to blow myself up with C4 at some point, as it was more interesting.

/me wonders if this was wasted money.

One night of playing, and I'm on what I think is the final boss. Weeee. Now how long until Crysis: Nomad Returns - Can run on a GeForce 3*

Sucks for people that wasted their money. Worth $30 and then some for single player alone. Lol what is $30 anyway? Thats a couple days of gas or 2 mixed drinks in a Vegas night club.People spend hundreds of dollars on video cards and systems and complain about cheap games /boggle. http://www.hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1033055883&postcount=93 That level was awesome.

wellp, there ya go... my moneys off to witcher enhanced edition or stalker clear sky. Sry crytek... no more bs from you this time :D They should stick to developing graphics and let some other company handle the storyline/direction
 
8.9 Official, 1920x1200 No AA, First level to End, turned off for cut scenes as obviously it will skew the min frames to 0.
2008-09-18 04:48:49 - Crysis
Frames: 2223 - Time: 64694ms - Avg: 34.362 - Min: 16 - Max: 50

2008-09-18 04:50:50 - Crysis
Frames: 12254 - Time: 337010ms - Avg: 36.361 - Min: 19 - Max: 53

Note: Above is in DX9

In DX 10 Adding 4x AA at to 1920x1200 is only playable with Vsync on and I go down to 1680x1050 if I enable anything above 2x AA which plays very nice.

No, it is not what they said.

I think that where ever you heard that from, exaggerated what was actually said. They were very vague about the settings and what "smooth" play means, probably on purpose. (They said "high," NOT "very high." Also for example, average frame rate of 30 could have a lot of slower spikes, and they don't mention what resolution.)
 
I wouldn't say min. frame tests are bogus- If they run the test multiple times, and the card never drops below 25 versus a card that gets a higher max, but lower and more consistent min. frame, i'd rather have the card that never drops below 25. I hate when the frames get real low in game, it just kinda kills the whole "experience" for me.
