You can maybe max it out... If the GTX can't, I doubt even SLi'd 8800GT's might. Might be able to get CLOSE to max... But not the max of the max.
 
a single 8800GTX, on a 680i mobo, with 4GB RAM, a Raptor HDD, and a q6600 gets 12-14fps on max settings, i just built one today and tried it out. im pretty sure SLI'd 8800GTs would get maybe 14-18, if that...Crysis is just too graphics intensive on DX10, esp bc Vista sucks as a gaming OS anyway

a 8800GT is performing just a tad lower than a 8800gtx so i bet two of em on a 680i would net better than one gtx... more than just a 4fps boost

this guy did it, and he was getting 12-15fps with 2 8800GTs in SLI, using winXP and DX9. With windows Vista and DX10, and on very high settings, dont expect much. he did have a pretty week CPU though

Umm, no he got around 28 average.
1680x1050 Very High DX9
SIN AVG 21.75 MAX 25.01 MIN 13.54
SLI AVG 28.13 MAX 39.27 MIN 15.26

1680x1050 Performance Very High DX9
SIN AVG 27.98 MAX 31.20 MIN 15.89
SLI AVG 34.36 MAX 52.32 MIN 12.69

1680x1050 High DX9
SIN AVG 32.82 MAX 38.21 MIN 14.95
SLI AVG 36.59 MAX 63.53 MIN 17.54

I am going to upgrade my Gpu, Ram, and maybe my PSU.

I have a 500 Ultra, so.

And how long is the 8800GT?

And what Ram should I get? I am looking for 2gb.


Thanks.

WTF!? is 700W or 720W needed for when he is not SLI'ing? A Corsair 520W for $99 will do great...

Thank you! People go way overboard on power supplies. I know that it's an important part, but seriously...

I picked up a Raidmax 630W PS for about $60, and it's more than enough for my system.
 
RAIDMAX isn't a good company... It's like a 600W Powmax and a 550W Rosewill. Which will win? :rolleyes: Kinda obvious... Quality matters.

For that price, a OCZ GameXStream 700W would be more worth it.

Thanks for your infinite wisdom... :rolleyes:

Do some of your own testing instead of regurgitating what you've heard from who knows. It's fairly obvious you and the OCZ GameXStream 700W have some sort of bond and believe it's the only good power supply the world has ever known. :confused:
 
OK.
I am going to order the first week on January, how does that sound?

I am going to order, an 8800GT, a minimum of 2gb of Ram, and maybe a power supply, I dont know, can my current one handle it? And, how much room should I have in my case for the GT.


I have a copy of Vista Home Basic, bought it for $30 last year at CompUSA, I've registered it on a Hard drive, that was formatted and is now being used as a backup drive at the moment.


Should I consider the new GTS?


Whats a rough estimate were looking at?


Should I invest in a nice CPU cooler? If so, what kind.

I can get measurements of my case, tomorrow, if needed.

And, for a headset, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826504004

Thanks.

I am looking at this Graphic Card - 8800GT EVGA

And, not sure on the Ram, I want to get all new Ram, instead of adding to my current system. And I will get a new Power Supply, I dont know which one, maybe modular? Whats a good CPU cooler?



Thanks.

I have seen the Corsair 520W with SLI'd GTX's and Ultras... Besides, I would take Seasonic over FSP any day...

I have a server comp running with a 500W Apevia, the same PSU my previous computer had in it, did just fine, no way it would hold up to a 2900, 38xx, or 8800, but it got the job done for a P4 and X1300PRO.

I agree on that card... Are you getting a new CPU?

A good CPU cooler? What case do you have?

The Thermalright Ultra Extreme is flippin' awesome...

New RAM? A-Data and G Skill would be my picks...

4Gb G Skill $100

4Gb A-Data $115
