It should run crysis at 1680x1050 without AA at around 30 fps which is about the bare minimum of smooth gaming. GTA should be fine.

Those are both terrible games to measure a comptuer with. GTA is very CPU and memory(system and VGA) bound. Crysis is just silly to expect anything but a top of the top of the line ot run at very high. You would be able to play both reasonably though.. I'm not sure what you define as reasonable.. certainly not 70+ fps at all times in those titles...

lol, but i dont think this graphics card will be able to do that, u probably need to spend at least £450 to get to play crysis at 40-50fps
 
Mine ran Crysis at High and DX9 @1920x1200 well enough to play, but not smoothly, at 16x10 it was OK, even in the ice levals.
If you do not already know, keep the AA low, on a 512Mb card it can have an apalling impact on framerates.
