The resolution you play at will determine the best card for the job here. If you game above 1080p, seek out high-end SLI or CrossFire to get the most from this game. If you play at 1080p, you will get a maximized experience with a single GTX 680 or HD 7970 GHz Edition. If you can't afford those, and you must go midrange, the GTX 660 Ti offers the best value in this game for the cost right now.

PATCHES
Patch 1.1 and Data Patch
Quote:
Hi all,
We are rolling out two new patches over the next few days, Patch 1.1 and Data Patch B.
Patch 1.1 will be a physical update requiring you to download it when prompted from Origin/XBL/PSN and contains numerous bug fixes and updates:
Fix for users getting stuck in the Pinger
Fix for Flashbang/Smoke grenade reactions not displaying in Kill Cam
Fix for crosshair becoming invisible after certain actions
Fixes for squads joining and disconnecting from servers
Fix for players being unable to fire or reload occasionally
Fix for users occasionally being able to hear VTOL damage siren constantly
Weapons retrieved from the ground now have the correct attachments
Fix for players getting stuck if ripping HMG off VTOL during destruction
Fix for being unable to detonate C4 after host migration on consoles
Fix for game not ending correctly if last opponent triggers a host migration
Fix for issue where sometimes rip and throw weapons would not deal damage in smoke grenades
Fix for relay in CTR becoming stuck if picking up relay during shotgun reload
Fix for icons disappearing occasionally in CTR
Fix for players occasionally spawning with wrong loadout in Assault (PC Only)
Last Man Standing no longer displayed in Hunter for players that have just died
Fixed issue with teams during host migration in Hunter/Assault
Significant optimisation to Medium detail settings (PC Only)
Particle optimisation (PC Only)
Data Patch B is a behind the scenes update and is automatically downloaded when entering Multiplayer. Patch B contains the following tweaks:
Melee whilst sliding damage reduced to match patch A's melee damage
Typhoon mid range damage reduction
Bow sensitivity reduced to match Assault Scope values on PS3/X360 as they have similar zoom values. PC remains as before
SCAR+Laser long distance effectiveness reduced.
Threat Awareness module levelling targets reduced to 3/10 enemy C4's destroyed
Potential fix for "Incoming!" Skill Assessment not levelling up correctly
Fix for Social Challenge skill assessments not being tracked correctly
If you see something like this at the bottom left of your main multiplayer screen, then you have the patch.
If you can not see it and this post says the patch is live, chances are your copy of the game didn't manage to download and verify it in time. Simply return to the Single Player menu and click back into Multi Player or restart the game, entering MP will usually resolve the issue as it will have been downloaded already but not verified.
If you do not have the patch you will be unable to play against players who do, so you may have less matches available to your (or no official dedicated servers on PC). This is very unlikely to happen and can be resolved by returning to the Single Player menu and back to Multi Player.

Personally I'm excited about Crysis 3 and have been a fan since Crysis released. Love the campaign story lines. Each story has been a fun first person shooter being a super human in a nanosuit.
So I've decided to start this thread as a place to discuss anything about Crysis 3 on a positive note for real fans.
The upcoming lethal composite bow is more than meets the eye fun. Automatic reload, stun / electro arrow, explosive arrow, and a PS energy support system. Versatile for different scenarios.
It's taking New York to a very cool metamorphosis, twisted in with the alien story line we've come to enjoy.
