I feel sorry for you. Waiting for a card that can run Crysis? How long you been waiting now? And who knows when youll actually get to be able to play that game. Oh well, theres always next year for Crysis heheh

 

[spoonboy]

until ATI could make their card run Crysis properly.. i wouldnt care one bit about their cards

Your having a laugh ain't ya? my 4870 does all on dx9 high 1400x900 with 4xaa averaging 30+fps. What more do you want?

 

[killtacular]

To be honest, I don't find Crysis all that....I have played much better games than that crap...

Anyone wanna join me in a coop game of Silkworm on the Commodore 64?

 

[mf2385]

Mid-August for the 4870x2 commercial versions?

 

[L1qu1d]

yup Even I have 1 reserved at my friend's shop can't wait

 

[ovaltineplease]

Guru3d had a good review - looks like the performance is bang on where we'd expect it to be.

 

[hurbt]

EDIT: hmm... i must have alt-tabbed incorrectly... never mind my comments.

Still, for $500, this card looks NICE!

Hell, a 4870 sounds pretty damned good right about now, especially if the OC potential is as good as some of the rumors I've heard. That will make a really nice upgrade from my ATi 9800 pro Yeah, I'm in the dark ages...

 

[cjl]

Really. Link?

 

[L1qu1d]

LOL do you even see the latest benchmarks? Look at the latest 4870 X2 review

Epic fail

Trust me the 280 GTX is both a waste of money and a waste of time, up until we see the card around 300$. And even then, the 4870 in CrossX scale better in most games

EDIT: You can't say those aren't the latest drivers, since they are reviewing the 4870 X2. I smell a fanboy or a 280 GTX owner

:lol:
Who cares really? Maybe if they would have done a better job programming the game its wouldnt need brute force to get decent FPS.

And honestly, who gives a crap. There are alot better shooters out there than Crysis. COD4, HL, TFC, blah blah blah, take your pick.

And yeah, I too want a link to this magical page that your talking about.

 

[L1qu1d]

^LOL So I'm not the only 1 that smells a troll

I still think COD4 looks better than Crysis, and whats even funnier that most review sites stated that running Crysis in Med still gives frame problems, and doesn't look better than COD4 at high, which runs like a wet dream

 

[L1qu1d]

LOL what are we arguing, were we arguing the X2 or the fact that the 280 GTX is owned by the GX2.

Whats the point of having a card and pwning at a game no1 plays? ok lets see these

There some images of the X2 having no problem beating the 280 GTX in sli

I have more if you want

 

[The Lads]

LOL @ the industry..

crysis is the bing, ask concrum, he plays it on nvidea...

If the game were'nt so ****, I'd play it too.

 

[cjl]

OK, now that's funny.

Everyone who buys a gaming computer ONLY buys it because of how it runs crysis?

 

[L1qu1d]

THe "industry" isn't the public. I think the public would like to play other games

 

[cjl]

I think the industry caters to the public. That's how you sell

 

[concrum]

I think the industry caters to the public. That's how you sell

yup yup. well said bro

 

[Kaldor]

The industry only cares about the the best engine on the planet right now that runs CRYSIS, thank you.

Best engine, thats funny. I needed a laugh.

 

[cjl]

yup yup. well said bro

If you agree with that, why do you think that Cryengine 2 is all that matters? It is known to be partial to Nvidia cards, just like Source is for ATI.

The industry only cares about the the best engine on the planet right now that runs CRYSIS, thank you.

who care what "industry" thinks....when the public who buys the product dont like the "best engine on the planet."
if the industry shoots after those type of "best engine on the planet", the the industry needs to rethink a few things and make their product work better for games that ppl actually regard higly bout, like COD4 or grid or AoC
