What GPU's run Crysis in the highest detail?

[2ocent]

Well I run a EVGA 9800GTX+ and I had purchased it on sale at future shop for around 140$CAD. It runs crysis on very high flawlessly. I <3 it. It was a great purchase for the price.

if I had a job I would *groan*

im doing 5 days of college per week, and the last job I could have got wouldnt let me do it as I couldnt do the days they asked.

If I can get a job, the first thing im saving up for is a 22" screen xD

i feel your pain......

i played Crysis on a single evga nvidia 9500 gt pci express and it played it in full high level settings with out a glitch
i run a MSI K9N SLI V2 (ms-7390 ) w/ an amd athlon x2 64 bit 6000 w/hyper link and 8 gigs of ram and i run the single nvidia 9500 gt with all drivers updated and it played the game flawlessly wish i had the extra $$$ i would put the other 9500 in it just to be rediculus

 

[RatchetSK]

Hmmm. NVidia X295 or ATI HD4870 X2.

 

[Cerussatus]

Well. It seems a lot of the 9800 GTX+ are dissapearing from the shelves on Ebuyer.com

What should I choose from the list?

Cheap Laptops, Hard Drives, LCD Monitors, TVs and more at Ebuyer

this one seemed pretty convincing.

i live near about 6 big PC parts stores and dealers and this guys undercuts everyone by alot i paid around $75 for that card but,it was a 9500 gt w/1 gb ddr2 ram the card moves and if i had the extra $$,,, i would have put 2 in i love the MSI MB's even got a 19 inch acer lcd widescreen for under $100 with a 3 year warrenty i was building a whole pc and got everything minus a keyboard for less than $600 with a full OEM copy of Vista Ultimate i did some searching and this guys is fu@kin awesome

No, stay away from the least known manufacturers (ex. Zotac) I would go for EVGA since I own that exact product and they offer great services. This is my final offer lmao

i agree EVGA is a awesome card just try and find the one with 1 gig ddr2 on it itll make you run like a super machine and if you have 2 pci exspress ports i would double up and you shoulf be good for a few years (or at least till they come out with the 3d world gaming system oh wait they do itsnt it called EXIT REALITY !!)

fyi: He's capped on price and there's been 7 pages of discussion that finally narrowed it down to this.

I personally would stick with ebuyer.

 

[bigfish79]

he can stick with who ever he wants its just a store in waterbury CT that has great stuff cheap ,he buys so much stock he probably pays s $40 a card ,he goes threw so much stuff there just got to be careful with ebay and al, those second hand online stores this is a distributor for MSI NGVE,and all kinds of stuff he can buy the card were ever he wants i just prefer stuff fromthe factory so i get warrienties

 

[SMOKKINU]

anyone else have a headache?

 

[Cerussatus]

I think I know what Im getting... I did some more browsing.

HD-485X-YDDC - 512MB XFX HD 4850 XXX, PCI-E 2.0 (x16), 2100MHz GDDR3, GPU 650MHz, 800 Cores, 2x DLDVI-I/ HDTV, HDCP - Scan.co.uk

look at this card - look at the price, then scroll down to the specs - leave it there, then do the same with this card.

HD-487A-YDFC - 512MB XFX HD 4870, PCI-E 2.0 (x16), 3600MHz GDDR5, GPU 750MHz, 800 Cores, 2x DL DVI-I/ HDTV, HDCP - Scan.co.uk

I just cant believe the 4870 is at that price - the spec change is PHENOMENAL.
________________

if this topic ever comes to an end - I think so far... the 4870 has my final vote at that price.

 

[skunksmash]

Scan are SUPERB!!

yep the 4870 is a sweet card, at a pretty good price...


but if you just waited another week & added 40 quid, you could become the proud owner of this....:D

XFX GTX260 216 ''B.E''

arguably the best 260 out there, with one of the best customer support packages too... (i have this card & it chews up & spits out EVERYTHING i throw at it )

Believe it or not, i was looking on EVGA at the 9800's and 200's. some of the 260's were coming out cheaper than some of the 9800+'s.

Really didnt see what the difference was... surely if the 260 is that hyped it would be more expensive than the 9800+ regardless.

even still - if the 260 is supposed to be seriously good. how comes the GX2 is A LOT more?

b/c the GX2 has a much higher build cost.....

the GX2 will out perform a 260..... but the 260 has better architecture & handles AA much better at a higher res...


the 9800GTX+ CANNOT compete with the GTX260, it has a 55nm G92 core, the 65nm GT200 is still FAR more efficient.

[MrNeeds]

with the GX2 your paying for 2 cards, so the 260 GTX is quite good for a single GPU.

 

[Cerussatus]

its not 2 cards

its effectivley 2 cards because of how it works.

Even still - the 4870 out performs the GX2
