Good thing I only bought the 320mb version of GTS. Now this new GTS will blow everything away until the revamped GTX comes out with the 65nm =3

Waste of money? Other than the HD3850 (which has finally usurped oldie but goodie X1950XT for the sub-$200 crown), this is probably the biggest bang for your buck.

I’m pretty sure GT/GTS/GTX/Ultra will all soon get phased to G92, or GTX/Ultra will wait for the next G8x evolution for a top-end refresh.

your AMD CPU is not “average”, it is quite weak already actually
the cheapest below2ghz Intel 2Cores are atleast twice more powerful then that

The gigabyte version will dramatically lower your memory cap unless you can hoist it and even then, it’s flimsy. Not even remotely desirable. Oh well, all the more fun to mock the rich idiots that buy it for the pose value

I’m getting the feeling I’m screwed with my crossfire-mainboard I just bought 3 weeks ago…

I tried Crysis on my system last night. I got a new 8800GT 512Mb, 4Gb Ram, and 2.4GHz Dual Core AMD CPU, and it was… average at best.

I was running the game at 1440×900 with all settings on High (but not Very High) and at times it was choppy. I bought the 8800GT specially to play Crysis, and to be fair, Crysis eats it for dinner.

Perhaps I need to tweak the settings slightly, but surely a system of that spec shouldn’t have too much trouble running Crysis nice and smoothly. Am I doing something wrong?

=====================
4gb of ram? (vista yeh?)

not trying to flame you but i have 2 set ups one is my freinds

and ive tested the same card in both set-ups

amdx2 2.4 and c2d e6750

clearly there is a amd bottleneck going on,as it runs mutch faster on c2d.

i think thats youre problem there.

i run my rig with a 2900xt for 120 uk thats a bargin,it was a 2900pro but i flashed it to a xt.

i play crysis on all high,good enough for me.

after all crysis is just one game it will soon be forgotten.

as for all the other games i play max settings and lots of AA/AF example cod4 plays on my 2900xt flawlesly.

im no ati fanboy this is the 1st ati card i bought ever.

try not to compare crysis with the latest graphic cards, crytek said they developed crysis thinking in the past 2 years graphic cards and in the next 2 years of graphic cards, so expecting that you will run crysis maxed out and with 200 fps with a 8800GT or GTS is dumb, crysis will is going to be a great benchmarking game for the next years
