DX 9 or 10???

[XRaCeProX]

High = DX9 and Very high = DX10. In this case high, so DX9.

i have the radeon HD 4650, im better...*then realizes the video as in Dcember 2007....

[at0micsheep]

@uexp4 late in my comment but the 4650 is a worse card than the 3850. Its newer but weaker ;)

[nelizmastr]

@WarpPal well, the 3870 was the best single gpu ati card around the crysis release, so it had to be able to play it at least medium.

@DOMINATORKING1 Uhm dude,chill the fuck down? ATI is not a shit and you said "I NEVER ENABLE BLOODY CROSSFIREX" it means you haven't enable yet. Is that correct? Trust me,If you buy NVIDIA and run on SLi,is going to have huge amount of problem. Im a proud owner use to have a Dual 6800XT running on SLI and suddenly 1 of them burns out. None of them were overclock or overheated,and I just start using it for only 2 weeks. You will regret getting NVIDIA.

[WarpPal]

My rig is about the same a his, just 30% faster with clock speed and memory, and thats pretty damn fast for an old card like that, I was just looking to buy the 3870.

[DOMINATORKING1]

I HAVE TOO PROBLEM I NEVER ENABLE BLOODY CROSSFIREX ATI SUCKS TRUST ME I NO FUCKING WAY I HAVE THIS GRAPHICCARD SINS 2007 NOW 2011 I HAVE STILL PROBLEM NO NEW UPDATES ABOUT CROSFIREX FOR WINDOWS 7 AND XP ATI SUCKS CRAP DONT BUY TRUST ME PLZ

[Jasper2428]

Atleast the 4300/4500 series 4 gB ram can run this in medium and low flawlessly.
