The game's supposedly made to tax tomorrow's machines as well, so I wouldn't expect all that awesome performance on today's machines on some settings. Even if they cost you as much as a small car.
I'm reserving my judgement until I've actually played the game one day, but with all those other games out there I still utterly fail to see what's so rich about this that you'd need a machine like that. And in terms of visuals, there's apparently still objects popping up left and right. Maybe Crytek added mechanics, AI economy and a level of world simulation so deep you'd expect say maybe Looking Glass to implement if given today's technology, if they were still around that is. Ah, who am I kidding here?
