Also I can't play crysis 3 even on my pair of super overclocked +45% gtx 470's on my big overclocked 4.4 ghz i7 gaming computer, it runs like 20-25 FPS has visible "hitching" and "jumps" from frame to frame and isn't even 30 FPS, and is just horrible, even on low settings.
Errr...I am guessing something is wrong. 25 FPS on low with an I7 and GTX470s doesn't seem normal even for Crysis 3
The GTX 470's were nvidia's first generation of DirectX-11 cards. So even with a big overclock and two of em, they struggle with most modern day DirectX-11 titles. The first cards in a new API are always the slowest, compare my 470's in DX-10 (very fast btw) vs the 8800 GTX's.

Scroll down and look, even the 600 series cards have difficulty running the game at low settings in 1080p, only managing mid-40's at best with cards 2 generations newer. And they're even testing it on a Intel Core i7-3960X (Sandy Bridge-E) platform, much newer than mine, with a 6 core chip.
It's an FPS title. I won't even bother running FPS games unless they can be run at a constant 60 FPS everywhere. Some games I don't mind but first person shooters, you have to be able to turn around 180 degrees and see behind you with no delay in render time, or you die. I'm of the crowd that unless I can run things at medium with 60+ FPS constant everywhere (Depending on the title) I just assume not even bother playing it. It's just a really poor experience, and not even remotely "fun" to have to run things on minimum and have it look like garbage and dying because of low FPS.
