all you need is an 8800 gtx or better and it can do this at some resolution!

[crudnup]

some people say that its better not to get the absolute best hardware, because they cant run some games. obviously they will if there 10x better than someones card. Why would using something better not play some games where as worse ones will? im only 14 but when i get a job and the money im going to build an amazing pc. (hopefully)

[seanhamson]

@crudnup your ll need an nvidia gtx 800 series and an intel 4th generation i7 processor. p.s. i'm not saying it will be along time before you get one just that tech moves quick.

This just KILLS Intel's 7500 series ray tracing, and at about 1/20th the price

[phoenix13nl]

I'd rather buy some i7 core computers and let them work in parallel over a network. Might be a bit more expensive, but there's a lot more you can do with some good computers than with a single uber-graphics card =)

Crysis man, THINK OF THE CRYISIS

[fenderlove01]

are you talkin about the game?

[chevezez]

@phoenix13nl you really are clueless...

[phoenix13nl]

Uhm, can somebody please explain me why everyone is so offended by my comment?... i dont get it :P

[chevezez]

@phoenix13nl sorry about being a dick it's just that when it comes to visual computing cpu's are not optimal for the job...all I have to say is read up on the technology

[phoenix13nl]

CPU's are very well suited for ray tracing (when multiple CPU's), and it seems like everyone here seems to forget, that this is ray traced.., not rasterized... (at which GPU's are indeed MUCH better) :)

With a GPU the only possible way I know for ray tracing is CUDA, but it's quite tricky.

I've seen some things about cards for ray-tracing, but I'm afraid it'll take a long time before we'll be using those :(

[limoguy333]

if i ever win the lottery, i'll buy one of these. i bet it could handle crysis pretty well. they're only $3000....

[ethicks00]

@limoguy333

it would run crysis worse than the ati 5870 would. They aren't made to be 'gaming' card. they are made for game developers.

[MustNotRead]

but my old $45 NVidia gt 6800 can do that.

[HazewinDog]

i used to have one aswell :)

[Funghettinho]

Yeah sure :)

[simtechlover]

distinctly unimpressive.

[gamer1541]

it better be impressive if it costs over $4,200 dollars U.S.A.

(NVIDIA Quadro FX 5800)

@gamer1541 What the fuck do you fucking think man, the card does everything.

I see multiple orbs in this footage, perhaps deceased ancestral guardians of the ladybird
