Speaking of Crytek engine games, the "Ultra" 1.9 patch for Crysis 2 along with the HD texture update (I don't have a DX11 card, so the DX11 patch is presently not an option) certainly improves it's appearance a tad and no noticeable hit in framerate on my rig too.
Unfortunately, that still leaves it wanting an actual
game to go with the engine
