Wow. Then again, I can't remember an ATI/AMD card that ever performed well (compared to an equatable NVidia card) on Crysis.

Can't wait to see the 9800x2's running it. (although that's probably late 2008/early 2009)

Power666 · March 6th, 2008, 08:09 PM

No, more like two weeks away. Geforce 9800GX2's are being shown off at the CeBit trade show right now with the official release before the end of March. And yes, you can put two Geforce 9800GX2's in one system for Quad SLI.

are you running 64bit vista or 32bit vista?

I run 32 bit Windows XP.

The computer has to be 64 bit, because it has 4 gigabytes of RAM. 32 bit operating systems only allow for 4 gb's of memory addressing, which means roughly 3 gigabytes of RAM.

Sweet. I heard they were coming "soon" but I figured that meant no earlier than June.

I don't think at high graphics and at a Very high resolution at decent frame rates.
