HD2900XT and 8800GTS will only be able to run Crysis maxed on 1280x1024!!

[QUOTE="mbukste"]This better be a joke,i'll be royally p*ssed if a 8600GT or even a X1950GT can't get high @ 1024x768...mbukste

My thoughts exactly.

If you need a GTX to play at 16x12, how the hell are owners of 8600GT/2600XTs supposed to run the game?

:o!

Everyone seems to be a little irrational here, other then a few people.
I was planning on staying out of this discussion but since it has gotten out of hand...

Think about what was said.
He used the word "MAXIMUM SETTINGS." Notice no "in-game" comment or anything like that.

Now what are the current MAXIMUM SETTINGS, more specifically AA, for the 8800GTS and HD2900XT?
We are talking about 16xMSAA and 24xCFAA.

Did you see how thost were scaling, 16xCFAA for the HD2900XT since 24x wasn't enabled in the early drivers, in the AnandTech.com review? http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2988&p=14

I might be wrong but I am going to be guessing that maximum settings means just that, the max graphical IQ you can set.

I second that, SOO true. AA can ruin anything, but without it, Everything looks @#$%

:0 :) :D thats freakin great new's I really was doubting maxing out crysis with my rig, and my 19" screens native res is 1280*1024 w00t bring on Crysis.

But this is all speculation! not the real spec's wait till they leak them or even better wait for the demo out this month.

I'm pretty sure the dev didn't mean to get that technical.

So what do you think he meant when he said MAXIMUM SETTINGS?

This?-
Cevat- "Oh, I meant with the maximum settings of 4xAA and 16xAF..."

Yeah, I really think he meant high settings rather than max.[/sarcasm]
Comeon people please THINK and use your brains just a little.

Considering you said "I might be wrong", why are you attacking me?

MAXing a game is most commonly considered 4xAA, 8x AF. but maybe thats back in the day.
