Runs fine on my ATI >.>
They're probably rolling in cash right now anyways.

well, everybody i know uses NVIDIA. Apple does, Dell does, lots of others do, so i wouldn't doubt that they're rolling in cash, but still, $4 mil is a lot for a game

$4 million was probably a decent chunk of Crysis' budget, but the game as a whole likely cost a lot more than that to create. Next gen games are pretty expensive. Killzone 2 is said to cost around $40 million, and MGS4 could be as high as $60 million.
Probably that's why it's running nearly smooth for me in the medium settings. I thought, before installing, I'd have to keep all settings to low. >_>
