Re: Crysis SHOULD Be Smokin'...

crysis cant be played on Very High settings at 1680x1050 with any PC that doesnt have dual GTX's or better. even with dual 9800GX2's, essentially 8800GTS 512MB quad SLI, Very High settings are barely attainable at reasonable frame rates.

also every game ive seen so far suffers a 10-15% FPS loss when run under Vista, even when running DX9. not bashing vista, but i;ve seen these results duplicated on many many review sites.

the GTX is definitely a strong card but it's age is starting to show. the $230-250 8800GTS is essentially the same real-world speed as it in many games and losing out to the GTX in some others, but usually not by much. i'd definitely consider dual GTX's or selling it for a 9800 GX2 if you're running an intel chipset and still looking for an upgrade. basically the best setup for an Intel chipset motherboard PC is going to be a single 9800GX2 or dual 3870 X2s.
