Yeah, I've read that Ati cards are usually equivalent or better performance for cheaper, but I also no that there are certain games that don't perform well with them and they are notorious for having worse drivers and a less intuitive control panel. Nvidia on the other hand seems to be compatible with every game and has a tremendous driver support system. I don't think I can go back to Ati, even though I know it's most likely a comparable product.

I'm kind of jaded because I had one completely crap out on me a long time ago. Like it would just crash anytime I loaded a game.

Keep in mind that Windows is using some of the RAM

Have they confirmed they're releasing a hi-res pack for PC? If so maybe I'll hold off from playing the game until they do.

Maybe I was playing a different Crysis 3 than everyone else but with a 7870LE which is pretty much a 7950 with everything maxed I was only at like 20FPS. Had to lower most of the fancy settings like AA and shadows and was at 60FPS

i managed to play it on high settings on my 5870 and stayed above 30 fps.i cant say exactly what the fps were but it was smooth. i think the 680 is just given as a nod rather than a requirement. as the game is supposed to scale to your card/s so if you have 2 680's you will get access to the ultri high end features which supposedly still aint the best the engine can muster.
if you have an entry level card like the 770 you can expect lower setting, less effects and basically a more console looking game (especially when the new consoles arrive and they implement dx11 on the consoles 2). basically console players will get what we got with crysis 2 a dx9 game updated with a dx11 patch.

A short game, at that... And I got bored with the MP Beta after about a week. My setup would average around 30fps on Very High, which I consider playable in SP, but it's not worth the price at this point, IMO.

Its funny you guys say that. In some games the FPS effects the game engine. Some people did research and found out that since CoD Black Ops 2 (and all the other CoD's for that matter) run on a heavily modified Quake 3 Arena engine that the higher the FPS the faster your character can run, the higher he can jump, and the faster he can shoot. So basically People who play on 60fps (even on a 60hz monitor) are at a disadvantage compared to people who are playing at 122fps. If you wanna learn more about it, this article goes more in-depth on it.

I got the game!!!

I get 35fps all setting very high and 4x MSAA!
(Im not a big fan of TXAA 🙁... I think it just blurs out the edges...)

I really like the game and the graphics... I think 35fps is fine for me... Its playable. If i turn off AA i get 40-50fps but 35 is fine for me 😛

Yeah I get the same performance too but I had to overclock my GPU to get that.
