I play crysis on a 8600gts oc and its ok, 20-30 fps with a mix of medium to very high settings using custom config, the res is quite low at 760p but cant really complain..
damn...only 220 usd in the US, I have to pay 280 for mine :(
it's $280 in the stores here. we just have good Web deals.Quote:

the size of our market is probably the biggest factor, but i'm sure it doesn't hurt that Intel, AMD, and Nvidia are all American companies (and ATI is now owned by AMD).
sorry if this thread has gotten off topic, but the OP isn't posting very many benchies!

the above link has a driver hotfix for ATI cards. it claims improved Crysis performance and improved Crysis CrossFire performance. it looks like it's just a beta for the soon to be released 7.11 Catalyst, so it will be mainstream very soon anyway.
Just so you all know.
The official release date of 7.11 driver is Nov.21st.
You didn't hear this from me:D :D :D
why do you say that? so you won't get b*tched at when they push it back another month? :p:Quote:

I'll be watching this thread closely as I'm ordering 2 3870's to replace my GT once they are in stock
I've already got one. Think I'm going to end up ordering 2 more when the Egg has them in stock. :)Quote:

you little Sh*te head! :p: :D
it was more of a joke. but of course you're right that the release date might get pushed back but judging by what i got today it's lookin pretty good.Quote:

cheap g cards are like cheap oil atm ...scarce.:yawn:
i'm pretty sure the egg will still be selling them for $219... the problem lies with when they actually get them in stock. if they don't come in till the new year, i'm waiting for the new high end cards.
Crysis benchmarks, please. I think 8800GTs in SLI will be better.
Lemme guess 7.11 Beta... :-P
Der... what else could it be?
RC4, I believe.
stinking the egg could have made a million plus these last 2 days just off sales they would have made on the 3870..that is if they would have had enough to supply the majority with our needs instead of teasing us.
