Answer 1

I've seen a show, can't recall the name... Someone was touting the specs of this super-ultra computer and how it has better specs than any other computer out there...

"Yeah, but can you play Crysis on it?"

Answer 2

Honestly I don't know if your system is really not strong enough for it (it surpassed the minimum requierements by far).

I would suspect the huge monitor. I have an HP w2207h myself, and for some reason the videos have slight chopping in them when maximized.

Check to see if you computer will play the game better on a small monitor.

Answer 3

Here is your problem: GeFORCE 8600GT

Not to belittle this respectable card but it is not very strong up against a game like Crysis; where even a blade of grass gets its own vector and physics. Even best SLI around can't max it out.
