Man, never compare Crysis... thats one hell of game makes every GPU+CPU sweat..:D. Although the problem seems to be with ur proccy.. Or else juz check for any bkgnd process using Task Manager, which runs unnecessarily and may be the reason for reduced FPS...

Well, ur config is good enough for playing HD trailers & all.

Or as rajkumar_pb said, there must be some background processes running which r consuming too much of memory. Have u installed it's drivers correctly? Always use the updated drivers for ur graphics card.
