3d06 is going to be cpu limited, even with an i7 AFAIK...

Nice to see you being so helpful for the community postumus, and I'm sure you now are the object of quite a bit of jealousy here at XS.

If you have standard Crysis(not warhead), and a save game on the iced over part of the game(If you don't, I can probably send you a save from that level, or you could just use the console to load that level instantly IIRC), could you do me a favor and give it a run through with AA all maxed out? If that doesn't make the card choke, I think I might end up biting the bullet and buying one of these things.

I'll likely still wait for NVidia's card, just so I don't have to pay $399 for one, but it'd still be nice to see how well these cards handle that kind of stress.
