you don't want to know...
crysis DX10 1280x800 at 35-40FSP is the Target.

Dell 27" 1920x1200 is huge!

Heres a link. http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/0 [...] page8.html Tho it doesnt include your card, you may get a certain percentage from this, and apply it to your card. Use the 8800 nVidia card, as its closest to what you have. The faster the card, the greater effect/loss youll see of course. You may also want to read the forums response, as it contains a few things thatll help explain or show the need for 16x. especially in a crossfire or SLi board

Youll still see gains with the 3870. The 3870 is the most similar card to the 8800gts which was in the article. The amount of loss should be similar between these two cards
