I haven't come anywhere near maxing Crysis with my GTX 470 SLI and AA... granted, I run at 2560x1600, but look at those charts... .

now you see where have nice big 30inch screens is your downfall. Im not joking about them numbers im talking about, Crysis totally maxed on my 480 is very very playable at 1920x1080, but as was previously pointed out 2560x1600 is a totally different ball game.

@Goldentiger, I recently built a system for buddy of mine packing a pair of GTX 470's in SLI and the performance after OCing was off the charts at 1920x1080, but then I tried out a triple monitor surround config running at 5760x1080 performance more than cut in half and due to the smaller Frame buffer ont he 470's i had to turn the AA down to 2x to stay in the 30-50FPS range. any more than 2x would drop frames to around 10FPS so you may be running low on VRAM as well.

this is why i don't think 2560x1600 is a reasonable gaming res. without an SLI of GTX 480's lost of games don't play well. it's great for work use but gaming maybe not yet.

back on topic 128TMU's IF TRUE would be totally sick and launch on the 8-9th would be excellent and a huge surprise but im not putting to much stock in Chinese rumor sites...
