My ASUS Radeon HD 4870 1GB video card has some issues...?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N8...

That's the card...

I read a bunch of reviews of people saying they could run Crysis on maxed settings with this card, however, I can only run the game with everything but shaders, shadows, textures, and objects at very high. Shadows is medium, shaders, textures and objects are at high. I am running with 8x AA, and at the resolution 1680x1050. My FPS with these settings range from 20-35 in outdoor environments, and indoor goes above 60. However my average is under 25 FPS, and it is sticky, and bothersome. I have 2800mb of shared VRAM, and my game uses anywhere from 1200-1800mb...

Do you guys have any idea what's wrong? I did try without AA, and it was above 30 FPS, but the edging really bothered me, I'd prefer to have AA... Is there possibly something wrong with my card? Maybe the settings in Crysis? Are there any optimizations I need to do, files I need to change? Help me out :)

Thanks a bunch in advance guys!
