By Christmas would I be able to max crysis 1920x1200?

Yes, with one card.. a 9800gx2 pretty much does it. ElectricNZ

Until you turn AA on the 9800GX2 does it. Crank AA up to max, and watch the mighty fall. No single card on the market can handle Crysis truly maxed at 19x12 right now.

This is at very high.

Turn on AA and it'll kill your framerate.

The fact that the 8800 Ultra - an incredible card only gets like 20 fps at very high with NO AA is pretty obscene.

We still need better cards to handle Crysis properly.

I plan on building a completely new computer. I hear there are some new video cards coming out by the end of this year. Do you think by the end of this year I would be able to max crysis with 1 video card? Or maybe 2?-Name Censored-

ATI/AMD is supposed to be next to the plate with new R700/770-based video cards. Then nVidia will roll out its GT200 chipset. Both are due later this year, and either one could possibly tip the scales, either alone or in a two-card tandem. But until the cards are actually benchmarked, we won't have a definitive answer one way or the other.

no there isn't

If you can be distracted by, or even notice, jaggily lines at resoultions over 1280x1024 you need to turn down the zoom on your bionic eyes.WDT-BlackKat

He said max the game, not at good detail. Maxing the game is cranking AA and AF up as far as they go (and for the record, at least 2xAA is preferable - I agree that I can't see the difference between 4x and 16x AA at 19x12, but I can tell whether it's on or off), no compromises. Maybe that's not what the user meant when he said "maxed", but nonetheless that is what it means.

And thinking on it, I wouldn't even call 19x12 at very high detail playable on the 9800GX2. Minimum frame-rates touch down into the teens according to most sites, and that's a little too low in my opinion.

That is almost certainly high no question about that.

We are. I have 20/15 vision and play Crysis in DX10 high detail 12x10 on a 19" Dell flatscreen, and even I have difficulty spotting aliasing unless I'm standing still.HuusAsking

Oh and I thought I have some super natural eyes.

I dont believe that for the sake of it but that's actually what I feel when playing games myself and that only supports what I am saying.

Care to give me some link where some site is saying that AA doesnt matter and prove it as well??

And for the record,yes I am a graphics whore and do notice the smallest of details and such in games.
