Quads dont o/c as high as a dual due to the extra heat unable to transfer as quickly out of the die. There still just isn't that many single applications that will benifit from a quad. If you plan on compressing videos and downloading torrents at the same time your gaming then yes, you may benifit. Few years ago I had a E6600 and upgraded to the Q6600 and saw NO DIFFERENCE in real world performance. Synthetic CPU benchmarks showed improvement. Synthetic video banchmarks showed little.
I could overclock the E6600 higher anyways and easily make up the difference and then some. Save your money. Get a dual and o/c the hell out of it. Get a cheap one with a 1066 bus. You'll have more headroom for a stable overclock without having to push the northbridge so far. No need for the i7 quite yet. The bottle-necks in computers isn't the CPU at this time. I'd give that at least a year or two.

Funny, people in my town call me Bruce Lee cause of my haircut lol. Anyway, if you have a good computer, Crysis won't let you down. It's perfect game to have some fun.
i have 9800gt card. think i can run crysis? maybe not on high settings, but smoothly? i got 2gb ram and a 3ghz duo core processor
also, im thinking about upgrading my pc but i remember hearing that you have to get moer power and stuff, you know where i can find out how much power i would need? :]
Of course you can run Crysis. Definitely on High settings, but i'm not sure for Very High. And don't upgrade yet. Wait for Intel Core i5 processors, they may be around 200$-300$ and soon new generation of Graphics card are coming(ATi 5xxx and NVIDIA GTX 3xx). Don't upgrade yet or you'll be sorry :P
What kind of duo core do you have?! I think it's the cpu, if you can upgrade, upgrade to a core 2 duo E8x00. Because those are still very good for an old proc.
yes just a bit, get a quad core, or a higher frequency dual core. Maybe even get a second 4870 to deal with the high resolutions. What Ram do you have?
yeah, but I mean if u record this game with fraps is almost impossible to appreciate the quality of the graphic card, it can be very lag, I think if u record this game with a camera, it may look better
of course youll have same performance has a gtx280... at least u want to spend over 300 buck more for the only 2 video cards that are stronger wich are the 4870X2 and the gtx295
You can get better framerate by tweaking (more like correcting) a .XML file in your Crysis folder for ATI card users. There is a thread about it in the NGHQ website, might do a little digging to find it.
How can you say that the human eye can't see more than 30 fps? Are you blind or just ignorant? Or, do I have super crazy vision that can see a difference up to about 90...
but the brain is said to process around over thousands of images a second , even tho we cannot tell it , so yes , we cannot percieve more than 25 fps , but brain calculates thousands
You can tell a little when its over 30 FPS, but its nothing noticeable really at all. I do agree that an average of 40 fps is best, anything over isn't gonna do much.
i only got a 8800gt , so for crysis i play at the lowest widescreen resolution , if u sit back far enough it looks pretty good and runs very smoothly on highest settings ,. and i dont even have the patches for the game cas its a pirate copy so it runs worse
lol yea, i just got crysis today, good game and all but it sometimes when its saving it crashes on me i had to turn down the res and settings to make it a little better but it still happens. did u have any problems like this?
Yeah i actually had this problems. One day i quick saved the game just before it crashed. That corupted saved games and every time i tried to load any save game the game crashed. But soon i realized that i can access this saved games by starting a new game and loading saved games from there.
