According to a interview with Crytek boss Cevat Yerli on German site PCGames.de, the forthcoming Crysis Warhead sports significant performance improvements that will make the game scale well to lower end hardware. How well? Yerli reckons a PC costing around 400 Euro ($620) will be able to squeeze out a respectable 30-35 FPS on “high” settings across the board.

Yerli further stated that the aforementioned performance tweaks could in fact be applied to Crysis, but as it stands the development team is currently hard at work on Warhead, and does not have plans to port the tweaks over any time soon.
