Actually, the main problem about the rendering of Crysis is the CryEngine 2. The CryEngine 3 streamlined the wireframe and polygon rendering much faster than CryEngine 2 and the textures aren't that much RAM consuming as in CryEngine 2, even with the new Ultra mode which includes Tesselation, SSDO and a lot other DX11 upgrades.
Plus, the great majority of the plantlife in Crysis didn't had that much textures to it. What made it stand out from other games was the physics applied to it, though normal low grass physics had already been implemented on games such as Oblivion (which was the main RAM and graphic hog of the game, that's why the Grass distance on consoles is almost set to minimum).
In my personal opinion, Crysis 2 looks as good (and better in some departments) on Ultra as Crysis 1&Crysis Warhead did on Very High.
