Totally OT here but there is a good mod planned to come out for the game: http://www.mechlivinglegends.net/. Doesn't look all that bad

Hrm...Crysis? Playable? Hah...that's an achievement, but this is something to behold:

Will it max GTA IV?

Also, 90nm of Glory is going to get a bit of a boost...in the form of an ex-folding 8800GS. Probably won't see another protein in it's lifetime, but I'll make sure it gets a workout

1) The crysis demo ran much better than the game.
2) Crysis Warhead is what I run which is more efficient yet most levels are more demanding than the original Crysis.
3) When you ended posting your results in that thread with one card you had like a max of 25.
4) Your CPU is at 3.0Ghz which makes a world of difference in a game like Crysis.
5) You're running a Directx9 32 bit OS while I'm running a more resource hogging directx10 64 bit OS. I have yet to try it DX9 on Vista, but it'd be a noticeable difference I'm sure.

In the end, there's too many differences in our rigs to compare. I want to see your 25 fps avg of Crysis on high @ 1680x1050.

TestECull, what brand is the 8800GS? Plan on OC'ing the poop out of it?

Good luck

XFX AFAIK, and it will remain un-OC'd untill I can mount my Accelero on it. Then, I'm going to clock it to the moon and back

Since the Accelero came with my X1900XT, all I have is the ATI mounting hardware. If XFX did the same thing on the 8800GS as they did on the 8600GT I bought, however, it should bolt right on anywho. On the 8600, they drilled three sets of mounting holes. One of those lines up perfectly with the X1900's cooler, and thusly my Accelero. I've already mounted it on there for the lulz, then put it back on my X1900.

TestECull, or if you have any processor coolers available that have heatpipes you could always mod one of those to mount on the 8800GS

I made a custom cooler for my 7900GS using a Pentium 4 heatsink. Worked out great.

Good luck

Fairly certain.

True, but I could care less about synthetic benchmarks; real-world performance is where it is at! *Chuckles.*

No free CPU coolers...
