8600 GTS X2 = Crysis on High?

SgtBobert · 01-05-2008, 01:45 AM

I have 2g of RAM and I can only run it on medium and I was wondering before I bought more RAM if the two cards can take high detail

Motoxrdude · 01-05-2008, 02:02 AM

No, the ram might help but probably not that much. It takes two 8800ultras to max out crysis all the way.

kof2000 · 01-05-2008, 02:06 AM

yeah it will... at 800x600

SgtBobert · 01-05-2008, 02:06 AM

Im happy with it even on medium but im only trying to go High not Very High

PS: nice layout kof2000

kof2000 · 01-05-2008, 02:09 AM

you mean will it run or is it playable. anything lower than 30fps aren't reallly playable.

SgtBobert · 01-05-2008, 02:16 AM

It only lags when things get big (Explosions). I may still get them to get the frame rate up but I really want to know if could run it on high

Two 8600GTS are barely one 8800GT

Nope, it wouldn't come close to maxing out. My 8800gt plays it at Very high w/ no AA, and it lagged at the very end. It would seriously take two ultras to max it out.

Takes 3 ultras in triple-SLI to produce a decent frame rate at 4x AA, 1920x*** and very high settings...and even then the frame rate isn't that spectacular.

Yeah, 2 GTX at least and 2 Ultras for 0 lag I would say...
