I need some quick tips & tweaks to improve performance in Crysis

[Capfarland]

I'm playing on the system in my sig and the game is alot of fun but the performance kills it sometimes. The game runs pretty slow even with all settings on medium/low, I am wondering if there are any good tweaks I can use to help boost the performance?

I actually tried cubans latest config files I found at a diff forum, I chose the Medium spec one, but it seemed to run worse believe it or not, the lighting effects seemed to be waaay over exaggerated. Thanks for the suggestion though.
