Performance seems awful. 25-35 FPS in the first mission (kill 6 ghouls) at 5760x1080 using ultra or even high with regular AA. Must be a serious problem with Eyefinity or Crossfire or both. Both GPUs show max usage, though that doesn't necessarily mean it's being used wisely.

For comparison, I get 60-70 FPS in BC2 with max settings and 200+ FPS in Half Life 2 at the same resolution. Something's not right. It looks sort of pretty, but it sure as hell isn't Crysis.

Yea I'm corius to what other peoples performance was like, after playing the beta alot this weekend, I do like it, and I'd definitely consider pre-ordering this now, if it wasn't for this horrid performance.

With a 2600k @ 4.5 and 2x6970's and getting mid 40 fps, on high ish settings at 5292x1050, albeit with big slow downs.
Crossfire seems to just add an extreme amount of microstutter too, more than I've seen in any other game.

On a single screen it was better but still not what I'd expect with the specc of my PC.

I'm trying to get the game to run at 6028x1200 rez. It's Nvidia Surround (triple monitor, but not 3D). The possibility looks available thru the in-game settings however the selection for resolutions literally goes off the margin of the screen (on the bottom) and there is no way to scroll to it. So it's there just out of reach so to speak. How are you getting it to run???

Is there a .ini file or any other file that will help me?

Ok, I stumbled upon the solution. I had to run in Fullscreen Windowed mode and that then made the game default to the native desktop resolution which is the 6028x1200.

I will say I'm very disappointed with performance. I'm using 2-460's OC'ed to 810 core clock and shader clock at 1620. Memory is 1GB per card and running at 1900 clock. On MEDIUM settings I'm getting an avg of 19 FPS...frankly medium settings blow and to have it running at 19 FPS is a double whammy. When doing 1920x1200 I can set things to ULTRA and stay above 30 FPS.

Am I really underpowered or should I be making tweaks I don't know about.

I've been in every Beta since the first one. Fps has been an issue from the start.
The first couple of betas the fps sucked, but as each beta came and went, the fps increased.
Back then, it wasn't optimized for multi-cores either. That has since been corrected.
It is improving, we just don't know if this is it; were they running things in the background (debugging, etc.); or there's more tweaking that can/will be done. I'm not trying to defend the game, just stating what I've seen during the betas and what's been "rumored".

Your computer - I would say your video cards aren't so much underpowered, but are lacking in memory. True, you have 1gb per card, but it's not considered 2gbs combined. It's just 1gb, with each card utilizing the 1gb they have.

Ehh.. I'll wait till it has moved on to the free to play business model. Gone are the days where I'm dying to get into a buggy as hell launch again. Every MMO disappoints out of the gate. It takes at least a year for significant polishing to occur to make the games enjoyable for mid/end game content. As long as their is a level grind, all MMO launches focus on the leveling content and leave the end game for future patches. Which is not worth the $$$ and time imo.

Running decent on 3 480's at 5760x1080 with high settings. Haven't tried any big groups or anything yet, but so far its very playable in the 50s-70's of FPS.

Tbh, if i were using 3x480's I'd never expect to even mention its playable, a game should work fine with that amount of horsepower.
