The difference is resolution. You're running at 1440x900 i'm running it at 1920x1080. And for a resolution like that, multi-core cpu support is needed. The game does not have multi-core support therefore, at high resolutions even with 3 cards in SLI, because the cpu can only use one of its cores fully, the graphics cards can't communicate with the cpu as much as fast need to.
In Crysis i have no problem running that game smoothly at 1920x1080 / 4xAA / 64-bit / DX10 / V-sync ON because Crysis uses all 4 cores on my cpu so there is no bottleneck when using high resolutions.
Even with just 1 or 2 cards in the machine the game still stutters with physx ON at high resolution. I'm guessing more ice shards are present on screen at 1080p therefore more physx to contend with than 1440x900. But since Crysis is a more graphically intense game and i can play that fine, then im calling out Cryostasis for bad programming. Plus Cryostasis crashes quite frequently whereas Crysis does not.
