hey im thinking of getting this graphics card, but with an intel quad core, 2.6 ghz, and if possible ddr 3 ram, wud that be good enough to play crysis?

[Akan6]

Of course xD!

[AznDuD333]

dunt, get nvidia 9800gx2 instead, 4870x2's not only expensive its quite buggy as well, stick to the 9800gx2 since it actually delievers better performance

[Akan6]

what are you talking about? you don't know nothing about this card... test it and you'll leave the GX2 alone.. You can't compare this card to the X2 man.

[ssssroryssss2]

Nice setup, my system is practically the same. lol I posted some in-game pics of me playing crysis onto an xbox fanboy video, loads of people were saying that the xbox was better than the PC. lol the day after, I noticed that my comment had been deleted! :D Oh and the Q6600 sucks compared to the 9950BE everyone knows that most of the benchmark software is rigged by Intel anyway and Intel have been caught doing it in the past.

[Akan6]

right =D

[SnowBoardin360]

would a

GeForce 9800 GX2

and

Phenom X4 9950 OC 3Ghz

run something like crysis on high?

[teckim]

Yeah, the whole game was designed for Nvidia cards in mind, sucks if you ask me.

[dsolash]

9800gx2 lmao. Only in Nvidia optimized games and if not, 9 or ten games out of a few thousand? lmao. 4870x2 was obviously the top card until GTX 295. I can run any game smooth as silk on my ati card. And note; I didn't want to reply directly because there are already to many.

[subz3r0x1]

all the white text in options is bleared out...

[AznDuD333]

..payed 240 for both means he paid 240 for both of the cards separately..-_-

[ericblr]

no... it means he payed $240 for both. Read just a few lines above.

[AznDuD333]

...ur misunderstanding, $240 for 2 means 240 dollars for 2 and payed $240 for both means he paid 240 for each

[ericblr]

looks like he said he "payed $240 for both"... that would equal to 120 a card.

[AznDuD333]

cool

[nicks1258]

$240 for two i got an amazing price $120 each!!!!!

[AznDuD333]

^^ thou i think u got ripped off, 9800gtx only cost about $150 now on newegg

[nicks1258]

i got two 9800gtx's running in SLi (payed $240 for both) i overclocked them to 750mhz core and 1400mhz memory and i run crysis 1920X1200 AA:MAX Effects:all enthu. (a.k.a. MAX) and i get 41fps AMAZING!!!!!

[AznDuD333]

i have a list of games where out of 10 games 9 runs better on a 9800gx2...anyway ati isnt exactly famous for its gaming ability....

[xxpoonednoobxx]

oh ok, i understand u now. So its better to buy a cheaper nvidia card then a ati card that costs more. And i agree with you that many games work better on nvidia but thats not always the case

[AznDuD333]

surely its cheaper, 9800gx2 doesnt perform as well, however they perform quite as good as each other...a 4870x2 is about slightly faster than a gtx 280 which is slightly faster than a 9800gx2...9800gx2 will perform better in games such as gta iv unlike 4870x2 wont do as good...nvidia series are also known for good antialiasing...anyway why spend 300 extra dollars when theyre pretty much the same..

[xxpoonednoobxx]

to AznDuD333,

Hi, the gx2 is $300 cheaper. The 4870x2 is the top end card for ati. while the gx2 its not even in the top5. And there is no way that a gx2 will perform better than a 4870x2 in games

[AznDuD333]

this card cost nearly 500$ on newegg while the gx2 costs around 200 and theres not much of difference in performance in fact the gx2 is better in a severral games like crysis and gta iv so..actually ur the one that don't know what your talking about
