"GeForce 8800 GT is the perfect card for gamers that want to play Crysis," said Cevat Yerli, CEO of Crytek. "By bringing such high performance to the sub-$250 price segment, NVIDIA is allowing even more gamers to experience the full range of Crysis's stunning visual effects at maxed-out resolutions."

Ilaughed at Yerli's comment when even the 8800 gtx's have trouble playing the game.

actually if you SLI'ed two of the GT's, you could easily beat the GTX but still get the same price. I was looking at benchmarks on Tom's hardware and it was making me sick that i paid $500 for the GTX when these $230 cards perform only about 5% worse. If you spent $460 + $40 extra (extra to an average non-sli motherboard) for a SLI mobo, you could easily play everything on very high.dgreenheck89

toms hardware=failz. regretting buying a card desptite the advancing technology rate=even more failz

im going to use my step up program to get the new 8800GT 512mb version from my 8800GTS 320mb, this will be the first time i will install a card myself, can anyone tell me what stuff do i need, i know i need screwdrivers, anti static cable im thinking, do i need anything else, sorry for the n00b stuff but i am only 15bugs13

Step-up doesn't apply to pre-built systems...

I think he meant perfect card for the budget. filmography

If you REALLY read between the lines you can see where he says "Virtually nobody could afford to play Crysis before this card was launched. If it hadn't been for Nvidia launching this card, we would have gotten unlimited flak from critics. They really saved our butts on this one."

I have an 8800gtx and I can't max Crysis...luckily the GT will do nearly the exact same thing but for half the price. Congratz to those who could wait ;)

anyone, what do i need to do this, i ned to remove the previous and install the new, do i need anything special i know i need screwdrivers, anti static cable im thinking, do i need anything else, sorry for the n00b stuff but i am only 15bugs13

Don't do it on carpet (get plastic to protect from static). Turn off computer lol. Make sure you send in all your wires, cds, etc that came with GPU or they can deduct from the price.

I still havent decided if the 8800GT has such high performance just because its PCI-E 2.0... any benchmarks using a PCIE1.1 mobo?Swiftstrike5

I was wondering this too, because right now I can't afford a new mobo/processor. I'm running on an old A8N-SLI Deluxe, and I'm wondering if this would be a worthy upgrade from my 7900GS.

The crysis demo benchmarks on tweaktown.com has a Asus Blitz Extreme mobo, which I think isn't 2.0. I've checked every website and it doesn't say 1.0, but it doesnt say 2.0 either so I just assumed it was 1.0. Either way the 8800GT still outperformed my pathetic 320mb, but the 640mb was able to hold its own with some minor overclocking.

Wasn't this the guy who also said Crysis would run great on a quad core?

This guy has zero credibility.

Meh. I blame nvidia give us some better vista drivers!

Its not Nvidia its "Crytek", drivers can do only so much.

Lmfao, wow...this guy never stops, maxed out reses my ass, I am having trouble running the damn game, yet he still claims that a GT would be perfect. Maybe for running it on Medium on a 1280 by 1024 res, but other than that, its BS.

I'm in the same boat. I just bought a 7900GS 6 months ago. I'll probably get an 8800GT in a while. I was pleasantly surprised with how my rig ran the Crysis demo. I might actually be able to get by without DX10 for a bit.

I thought he said a E6600+ 7800GTX can play the game on High details. That was a year ago. Then he said Q6600 + 8800gts can play the game on High details. And now its having 40 fps on the 8800 on medium details. High is 20 fps.

He either was lying or the demois optimized by a retard

Medium looks pretty bad so and I wouldn't blame the hardware, but rather the game itself. UTIII is getting over 100 fps locked on a system like that :|
