| 629384 | 2008-01-11 03:44:00 | I decided to go out and by a DX10 video card. Not having $500.00 to spend on the recommended 8800GTS card recommended for Crysis I was wondering if there is any benefit to utilising 2 x 8600GTS 256mb cards together with the SLI feature? | supersi (8401) | ||
| 629385 | 2008-01-11 03:54:00 | You would probably be better off buying one of the new 8800GTs rather than two 8600GTSs. | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 629386 | 2008-01-11 04:22:00 | 8800GT 512MB Should give satisfactory performance. Not sure about 2 8600GT's probably not as good... | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 629387 | 2008-01-11 07:05:00 | Would his single 8600GT play Crysis?? Also is 8800GT the only thing that will play the game? |

| 629388 | 2008-01-11 08:02:00 | 8600GT can play Crysis. On low, some medium settings. And no, 8800GT is not the only card that can play the game. |

| 629389 | 2008-01-11 09:16:00 | What screen resolution do you run? The 8800GT is the best bang for buck truly DX10 capable card out there. |

| 629390 | 2008-01-11 09:32:00 | I have installed the Crysis demo. I ran the settings optimizer in Crysis and it set the following spec PC at medium settings and it is a little bit clunky but not unplayable. Frankly I wonder what the graphics look like on the bomb system?? Can I overclock CPU and GPU? AMD 4200 x64 cpu ANSLI8N Premium mobo onboard sound 2 GB RAM 1 x 8600GT set at 1024 x 768 resolution Vista Ultimate 64bit If I had to choose between more ram, gruntier cpu or video card as I'm not a millionaire. What would be the best investment? |

| 629391 | 2008-01-11 10:07:00 | Gruntier video card. I'd get an 8800GT and play Crysis on medium/high. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 629392 | 2008-01-11 10:27:00 | So how many games will be out there soon that just wont run so hot on 8600GT??? Is it heaps, or are people getting the 8800GT unneccessarily?? I am still learning about graphics cards as I have had my first non integrated one in for about a week (thanks to help from the good people around here). | RusEvo (3572) | ||
| 629393 | 2008-01-11 20:55:00 | It is a worry that many of the new DX10 games will need a top of the line graphics card costing at least $500.00 to run well. On medium, I still think the graphics for Crysis are quite ordinary, I was expecting an improvement from DX9 but really can't see one. |
