What GPU's run Crysis in the highest detail?

[skunksmash]

not quite...... .....it is in fact 2 cards using a single PCIE slot, this is made obvious by the use of SLI.


the GX2 will out perform a 4870 in almost every situation.... the 4870 may just get the edge at 1920x1200 & above, due to the GX2 being limited by its GDDR3 on a 256bit bus (per GPU)

whereas the 4870 has GDDR5 on a 256bit bus, which allows higher throughput as the res increases....

but the GX2 (fully optimized) is still more powerful, IMO.

WOO great choice

 

[Cerussatus]

Well. Im all about moneys worth and performance. my PC set up is awesome for the money

Glad you've finally made your decision, I was getting abit annoyed because I kept getting emails from this thread, in which people were just repeating what we'd already said... No offence to the others

Cheers have fun wid the card,

Heh.

I'd just like to say thankyou to everyone for contributing to the post. I've been thinking more than twice about the right GPU by reading peoples posts etc.

Now that I've selected the GPU I desire, you can be expecting some HD DSLR photographs of the new addition in my computer!

awesome.... and if you ever get tired of it...... feel free to send it to someone

the specs of my computer are

6gig of Corsair DDR3 RAM
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 clocked at 3.2ghz (yes I will be clocking it to 3.6)
Antec 900 gaming case (if thats any cooling consolation)
ASUS P5K3 Deluxe motherboard
750W Power Socket of some sort
Artic Freezer fan

Now - ive been looking at the 9800 GX2. It is atleast twice as good as the:

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260
NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GTX+

etc.
_______________

Although I may sound as if im not asking for a lot (which I am xD) - any opinions about GPU's, links etc to graphcis cards that can run Crysis in Very high with 1280 x 1024 resolution, fire away!

im deeply considering the 9800 GX2.

Do not hesitate on the GX2. It is a fine card and it will take just anything you through it at. Only thing you have to remember is just the future. Most games beign produced this year will be DX10 and much less DX9c. The card supports full DX10 but that's a little conspiracy from Nvdia because I've thrown Stalker-Clear Sky with exclusive DX10.1 content and card was not fully compatible. For overclocking the GX2 liquid cooling is a must.

P.S. I've had GX2's in SLI. 1900x1200, supreme & flawless.

o just so you all know.................
two 260's on sli can't out preform a single 4870X2.....
anyway :D

Their a derivative from 295 although 280 SLI is a battle for single 4870X2.

Good choice. I got a good 4830 recently for $90 (w/mail-in rebate). May not be as good as that 4870 but it's more than decent for my needs right now. After I'm done building my comp, I'll consider a more expensive card down the line.

1) A 4870 x2 is two HD 4870 1 GB edition in CrossFireX. A GTX 260 CORE 216 outperforms a 1 GB 4870, so two GTX 260 CORE 216's should outperform a 4870 x2, especially since SLI performs better than CrossFireX.

2) Look at the info above, there is no way a 4870 x2 can outperform a pair of GTX 280's/285's most of the time.

3) The GTX 295 is the best performing video card by far, the 9800GTX+/GTS 250 outperform the HD 4850.

4) If your CPU is bottlenecking your video card(s), then the results will change and things will get sloppy/odd.

thats not exactly right and no they don't it was tested
a 4870 x2 is 2 4870 gpu's on the same card the are not in crossfire they are intertwined

Came across this thread today, just thought I'd put pc development in perspective, I have just spent $3500 on a State of the Art 3-way SLI supercomputer... and it STILL can't run Crysis on highest. Is it EVER gonna happen?

Specifications:

INTEL i7 Core Extreme Edition 3.3 Ghz (OC to 4.6)
Asus P6T7 WS Supercomputer Motherboard
6 x OCZ 1800Mhz DDR3 2Gb each (dual triple-channel 12Gb total)
3 x Asus Nvidia Geforce 285 GTX 1Gb (dual slot cards) (each OC at 125%)
Creative X-Fi Fatal1ty Titanium Edition (PCI-e 2.0 slot version)
Coolermaster CosmosX SuperATX Case
12 case fans, just to keep it under 50 degrees!
