I am able to run on ultra settings no problem, with over 30 frame per second pretty much all the time. My GPU gets hot but nothing abnormal.
I just tried the game with DX11 and the new hi-res textures at the same time. I didn't have anything to measure the fps while I played but it did feel like I was dropping below 30 frames per second. What was the most scary is that my rig got dangerously hot when I played. I went back to ultra setting and kept the hi-res textures, and now I am able to play with a good framerate.

If they didn't specify it supports it, then I doubt it supports it.
As an example, Call of Duty 2 on PC had DX7 and DX9 modes, there was no in between.
EDIT: Upon looking it up (should do this first before I post), it seems that DX11 is backwards compatible with DX10 and 10.1, so I think that the features that exist in DX11 that are also in DX10 or 10.1 will still run if you have a 10 or 10.1 compliant video card. My mistake.

Just found out about this, since for some reason mycrysis didn't email me to let me know they finally fixed this travesty. Maybe I'll finally finish this game now.
I fully expect to have to turn Vsync off, but I also expect playable framerates. My computer is a tad beastly though.

Worth playing?
Yes.
Better than the first?
No.
What made the first incredible was it's pacing and atmospheric tension, you could feel the island was hiding something.. + Boss fights.
Man the boss fights were great.
Sadly none in Crysis 2 which seems to me like a huge tech demo rather than a continuation. The continued story is meh at best. Bit of a few twists but there was nothing to cap it off like in the original. No big baddie/s to kill just the same levels in a different layout. dissapointing really, Crysis 1 was amazing.

I really liked Crysis 1. Played it through in like a week-end and replayed it many times after. For Crysis 2, though, I had to force myself to finish it. It took me about a month to get through all the levels and I can't say I enjoyed it. It's not a bad game per se, but it was so different from the game I wanted it to be that it felt like a bad game to me.
Crysis 2 caters to a completely different audience than the first one. It's probably worth trying out, but don't expect a continuation of anything Crysis 1! Story, gameplay, nanosuit, protagonist, art style: everything has changed completely.
It's basically a new franchise which kept the old name and a voice actor. If you enjoy the newer Call of Duty games, you might like this game, too.

there were bosses in Crysis 2, lol.
wut. where.
The pinger, for example.
yea I thought that's what he meant. never thought of them as bosses though as they were repeatedly thrown in. I consider bosses a personable thing. Something that either comes once (you kill it) or it comes again after a first encounter. All in all it's an individual. Pinger's were just there to break pacing before cut scenes. Silly to consider them bosses I think. Also the finale battle where you face the invisible protoss snipers was just as horrible. Nothing compared to the first where you kill giant spider monkey feel safe then momma ship arrives. that's exhilirating. not the silly excuse for 'bosses' they have in cry2

No. While it may be nice-looking, the plot pretty much goes to hell from the first game.
Combine that with several confusing areas and the feel of constant "this is the deciding battle" stuff, it's not that good.
All that Crysis 1 achieved in cinematic videogame story and scenes, Crysis 2 squandered.
totally agree. crysis 1 left a perfect cliff hangar for the second but they thought scrap that. we're gonna show off our new tech in the city. we'll just alter the story line a little so it seems plausible.
I'm amused by all those people saying that their beastly PCs had better be able to run the game. I played it on a 2.2 Ghz single core CPU (AMD 3400+ I think), 2 GB DDR1 RAM, and a 1 GB DDR5 4890 HD. The game ran at 40 something FPS on the low graphics setting at 1440x900. Frankly, turning up the graphics didn't really change how the game looked by much. The only issues I had on that setup were that the game would occasionally crash, and loads took up to a minute.
