Well, I borrowed a copy of Crysis from a friend and found I could run it on a mixture of medium, high, and very high settings - still I drastically reduced the screen size and quality when running FRAPS (I'll have a video of the shark massacre up shortly). Anyways, I have decided that hunting sharks is the single highlight of the game, and thus I am very glad I did not buy a copy of it - although I might if I ever saw it for under $10.
