Why can I not play Crysis on high settings?
I'm trying to understand how graphics work. I have a core 2 quad q8300 2.5 GHz, Radeon HD 4350, 4GB RAM, I can only play Crysis on medium with about 12 FPS, on high it gets pretty choppy. I've heard people say they have a really good graphics card with 640 MB memory but can only play Crysis on low because their CPU sucks, and Crysis is CPU intensive. But my CPU is pretty good, right? Video card is decent. Also there's 3d analyze emulator thing that uses part of your RAM as graphics memory? Not really sure how it works, but my computer already does that I think, it says it has up to 2.2 GB of shared memory. Which means the only reason I can't run the game on high or very high is my graphics card's speed, because I have enough graphics memory and CPU is good. Is that it? When I go to systemrequirementslab.com it tells me I meet the recommended requirements. Also, sometimes the game gets choppy even on medium, sometimes it's less choppy, but I don't know what's causing the change. Is there a way to make the game playable on high?
I have Windows 7, I think I use about 70+% of RAM when playing crysis, otherwise is around 30 or 40.

Your video card sucks. For gaming, you need both a good video card and a good CPU. A good CPU will not make up for a crappy GPU and vice versa.

What OS are you running? If you're running Vista or Windows 7 click the start button and go into "Games" and let Windows rate your various components. See what has the lowest score and focus on improving that.
What is your RAM usage like? Under the task manager, is your RAM usage near maximum? If so, you may need to add more RAM and find and end processes which are hogging RAM.
Finally, if you're using Vista, consider switching to Windows 7. It's much more efficient in using system resources so you'll get better performance out the hardware you have.

You're better off with dedicated gfx memory.
If you're sharing RAM with your Gfx card then theres extra latency and also, your GPU is using up RAM that your system needs.
