Crysis, an overhyped game?

Hey guys,

I just upgraded my graphics card to Radeon HD 4870 and finally dared buy Crysis Warhead about which I had heard rave reviews. I set everything to enthusiast and a x4 antialiasing. My max resolution is 1440x900 so I maxed it out too. Now the game does NOT look any greater than, say Call of Duty 5 or Fry Cry 2. What's up? Also, I'm getting pretty good frame rates with my AMD X2 6000+ and 3 GBs of RAM. How's that?Crysis, an overhyped game?
Crysis came out before those games (over a year before) and at the time it was the game to beat graphically, and it's still very worthy when seen at its peak. It's also a game which was optimized for SLI Nvidia set ups so despite the fact that you are playing with a good set up you still aren't getting the full experience. 1440x900 also isn't doing any of your games justice, 1920x1080 via HDMI would yield much better picture quality on the right monitor.



It could also be your operating system since Crysis utilizes directX 10.
