Also what video card are you using with it?

Just for some reference, I can max-out (excluding AA) and mostlymaintain 60 FPS in Far Cry 3, Far Cry 4, Crysis 2, Battlefield 3, and many other titles, both in SP and MP.
To qualify, I do overclock my 980x (currently running at 4.2 ghz) but not my GPU. Furthermore, I do not think this game, nor any other game I own, capitalizes on the 6 processor cores this CPU offers, and certainly not the 6 additional hyper-threaded cores on top of that.
Despite this, I am very happy with this combination, and still see no reason to upgrade past it at this point in time.

I am by no means an expert on any of this, but inductive reasoning indicates to me that performance seemsto be heavily affected by network activity. Of course scene complexity is a major contributor to performance degradation, but based on other cryengine games and even experiences in this game, I think bad performance and the games networking/netcode are drastically linked. I mean, at any given time during a CW game, it does not seem to be more complicated than a regular match. However, maybe the increased state/object updates (dropships, gates, etc) being sent and received over the network is terribly unoptimized.

Veraly, I say yar
Also, with a DDR3-1866 RAM speed-up, and a wipe-install of C:, I now see ~150fps in the training grounds; Haven't been into CW, nor can I get my "normal" tests to happen often enough, so I don't know if I've moved my minimums up, yet …
