Its been fun

See I was one of those folks running at 1440, tried it again last night, but I actually get better FPS at 1920.  I wasn't suggesting they use 2600X1600, I was suggesting raising settings to see if any improvement was possible.  The OP, Voodoo, has got a fairly serious machine, I think he should still try higher resolutions, since he is using an HDTV. 

The highest I can go is 1920x1080 and I have tried that on High, medium, and low and all sorts of variations with different resolutions and all the same performance. I have also put on some AA in the game and STILL the same performance so something is killing silently killing me.

Were you clearing your Shader cache, after you made these changes?  And were you changing things manually in the autoexe.cfg, or in the in game menu?

Yes, I cleared my cache everytime I have changed the details manually. I have also done this everytime I used different details from CCC. I am using Xtreme-G custom drivers instead of the offical nVIDIA drivers to see if there was any change. It seems to have helped a little bit, but not much.

how does one clear the shader cache?

VD, try upgrading to a quad core processor.  This mod is alot more demanding than Wars. I have the same GPU as you, but after bumping my AMD dual core to quad core, the game runs alot smoother at a 720 resolution.

Maximus? Holy crap I thought yall fell off the earth lol. I am running a Quad core, I upgraded from an E8600 and I really didn't see much of a difference then either. I am just thinking that there is an issue within the gfx engine itself and there is nothing I can do about it until the devs end up tweaking some setting in there lol.

Quad core cpus do little to nothing for Crysis.  It is horrible at multithreading.  A fast dual core Intel Core2Duo should be enough in the CPU department.  I have a quad and the game uses nearly nothing on three cores with one pegged out.....in other words Cryengine2 uses it like a single core CPU....

If the development were able to tweak MWLL to utilize duals and quads they will have done something Crytek couldn't do.

Quad core is only useful in crysis if you want to run the game twice, or run other games while running crysis. However I did find a tweak to put in autoexec which sticks all the phsyisics on another core. Didn't notice any performance gain but my other core is now doing something instead of sleeping on my quadcore

Currently getting an average ~45FPS @ 1920x1200 with High settings in the mod, running on:

Phenom II 965 Black @ 4x3.6GHz
ASUS M4N75TD
4GB DDR3 Kingston HyperX Blu
WD 750 GB Caviar Black SATA-II 7200 RPM 32 MB Cache
2x GTS-250 512MB in SLI
Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit

Nothing terribly fancy, nothing overclocked. This is a HUGE improvement from my old setup (dual core AMD 4400+ with 4gb of DDR1), but before the memory controller on the old board died, I got about 15FPS. When the failure occurred, I replaced the CPU, memory and motherboard (and did a complete reinstall just for good measure) and now I have no problems with this or really any other game I've tried. The whole upgrade including shipping was about $350.
