Question about running crysis on very high setting

im building my high end pc but i want to play crysis at very high setting.
im wondering if this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814133243
can run at the frame rate of the NVIDIA Geforce 8800 GT 1024 MB in SLI

or what is the best card or best cards that's around 300$ that can run crysis in high setting

If you want to play Crysis at very high settings with any stability, start with a 285GTX and work from there. Anything less has almost no hope with Very High settings.

8800GT = 9800GT. After that, it depends on the clocks manufactures used.

I point out, the 8800/9800GT is a good card, but is getting on at this point, and simply doesn't have the muscle for a game like Crysis.

not true I have amd athlon 64 dual core with 3 gig of memory and a zotac geforce 9800gt over clock ddr3 512 pci-e 2.0 and have crysis on very high and works perfectly, no problems at all, runs smooth. I think my card does better than my ATI hdcard.

hmmm dont know about that, in dx9 hacked to very high except with physics, textures and object quality on high, with the natural mod, my 4870 handles it just fine at 1400x900. Oc'd to 800/1050 2xaa is playable with 30fps average, and my subsytem is a bit poo too (e6300@2.8ghz, 3gb ram, xp 32, sluggish 250gb hdd). 1600x1200 with a fast subsystem and a moderately oc'd 4870 1gb or stock gtx216 would do dx9 v.high very very well. What benchmarking sites dont explain is the hit very high physics, textures and choosing dx10 over dx9 makes on average fps. a gtx 285 would be overkill for anything less than 1900x1200.

This topic again.

Well, my 4870x2 runs it at very high, 19x12 with 4xAA. Playable at least to me (30fps avg). However, I rarely go past the entrance to the alien ship if I was to replay it so take that for what you will.

Really, as I say I haven't played through it in a wee while bar a run through with the A.I set to ignore till the last section so I could finish it due to a memory leak in my other saved game.

What sort of fps do you get with 4x AA? I can't recall my own getting less than 25fps unless I shook the mouse violently side to side.

Hmm, don't notice it myself. Must just be me, never have been a 60+fps kind of person.
