DJ BIG T · Mar 17, 2009, 09:32 PM

8 series and up

Neshi · Mar 17, 2009, 09:59 PM

depends, what resolution, do you want all eye-candy etc...

Zardon · Mar 17, 2009, 10:02 PM

2 x 295's - quad SLI.

seriously though, we need more info. resolution etc.

DJ BIG T · Mar 17, 2009, 10:11 PM

you know z ill be getting one of them in 2 weeks getting the xfx version.. now bf2 and the first farcry i was playing them with my 6800 but the other 2 games need higher cards...

CDsDontBurn · Mar 18, 2009, 01:25 AM

w/the amount of detail listed in terms of what resolution and stuff, i'd say at least an 8800GT. but, a 9800GT is the same thing and much easier to find new.

scipioafr · Mar 18, 2009, 02:53 AM

try for 9800gtx+

Mac Daddy · Mar 18, 2009, 02:54 AM

I agree CD's and as mentioned on resolutions please post back jejjohnson.

At 1280 x 1024 I can run Crysis np on my 9600gt on high settings ... now if I went higher

your right my pops had the 9600gt he was playing that game with it...then he got his 260..

Mac Daddy · Mar 19, 2009, 01:04 AM

Yep at higher resolutions and the highest settings for a case review a while back I got around 8fps on Crysis benchmark lol

CDsDontBurn · Mar 19, 2009, 01:15 AM

on my current system, i got an average FPS of 2 with a peak of 5 on the Crysis demo

Mac Daddy · Mar 19, 2009, 01:22 AM

Hee hee been there .... first thing I noted with the 4870 with everything set highest an average of 30fps ... I was like

CDsDontBurn · Mar 19, 2009, 01:37 AM

haha, yes i do realize that

but, i used to work for the green team. does that count?

Mac Daddy · Mar 19, 2009, 02:05 AM

I think it does

CDsDontBurn · Mar 19, 2009, 03:26 AM

then that's all that counts then

adamosmaki · May 6, 2009, 01:12 PM

Depends. If your gaming to resolutions up to 1440x900 a 9600gt/9800gt( about 10-20% faster) will cover you . you will be able to play those games maxed out with the exception of cryisis ( you have to settle in high instead of very high). Actually those 2 cards will allow you to play most games at 1680x1050 naxed out

nicnik · May 8, 2009, 07:48 PM

if u could get your hands on 8800gts then that will prolly be the best at lower resolution. I've noticed some places doing them for clearance, but they sell too fast for me to pick one up.

crygeex · Jun 20, 2009, 08:58 PM

GTS 250 or up... GTX series for very high details in Crysis. The other games won't be a problem with this ones

Tipstaff · Jun 21, 2009, 06:10 AM

9600GT minimum I'd say. If you can get an 8800GT/GTS, get it instead as it has 2x more stream processors (meaning better performance), but ONLY if it's cheaper than a 9800GT. If the 9800GT is cheaper, get it because it is the same chip, just smaller, and with higher clock rate. After that it's the GTS250, which by design is simply just a rebranded 9800GTX+, and that beats every other card mentioned.

U.S. price wise you can usually get a 9600GT for about $80-95, a 9800GT for about $95-120, and up from that the GTS250 would cost you about $130-150. The price differences depend on manufacturer, rebates, and clock rates (such as reference clocks vs superclocked or OC'd versions of cards).
