There are some user.cfg tweaks people have posted on the forums that help low fps PCs, but if you have an older CPU (for whatever reason, CryEngine 2/3 leans heavily on the CPU) it might not optimize too much. Core 2 Duo/Quads and AMDs older than Bulldozer seem to have a rough time with it.

Whatever you do, don't buy a Commando. A Jenner is best, but a Raven is at least a usable machine. The Commando however is a tiny metal baby that gets blown up in 3 seconds.
EDIT: Here's the user.cfg tweak for bad FPS:
