oh yeah, and the crysis benchmark isnt that far off at all.........it says i get 28average.....and i tend to agree with it because that is about where my fps are at most times......yes core tends to drop them into very lows 20's (like 20 lol) and sometimes high teens (very rarely though) but overall it is around 28

the only place that it hit 12 was when you have to destroy the first power surge thing while you are floating in the alien spaceship
all the **** flies out into the room and there is like an electric fire and everything else causing my frames to drop considerably......it only lasted for like 5 seconds though.......it might be because i dont have a kickass processor like most of you guys
 

First of all, I don't appreciate your attitude at all.
I would expect from you at least the same respect I'm showing in my posts.

Having said that, I questioned whether you read the posts or not because to me it seemed like you didn't after reading your third post. Especially the part where you said this:
"well, i must have stepped into an alternate universe where the 8800gt destroys the 9800gtx in all aspects"
...which meant, to me at least, that you thought everyone here agreed with the OP, which wasn't true.
Not to mention this came after my first post (and others), in which I clearly mentioned the OP was wrong.
I can't see how all your posts were directed at the OP considering he did not write again after your first post.

In any case, yes, I was agreeing with you, obviously.

Anyway, as long as everyone is happy with the performance they're getting (or think they are), it's all good. :)

 
you know what, you are right
i shouldnt have gone off on you
you were only trying to agree with me

this sentence is what set me off "Are you even reading the posts?"
i thought you might be trolling for conflict because i was obviously reading the posts

i thought, at first, that mothhive did have an 8800gt because it sounded like he was defending the op's statement
thats the only reason i said "well, i must have stepped into an alternate universe where the 8800gt destroys the 9800gtx in all aspects"
 
+1 - There is absolutely no way a single 8800GT can play Crysis in Win XP DX9 at 1680x1050 2xaa and remain above 30 fps. Not even close. Hit levels later in the game like Paradise Lost and FPS would be in the upper teens at times. The demo is not the game. The GPU bench is not the game. Parts of crysis will bring an 8800GT to it's knees at those settings.

Here is a 45 second fraps run showing a single 8800GT vs SLI 8800GT in the middle part of the Paradise Lost level. Note 16x10 no fsaa / 16xaf and fps were basically below 30 fps the whole time. (paired with a Q6600 @ 3.0GHz)




Here is a compressed merged screenie of the starting point for the above benchmark. From this point Prophet is following you saying "my suits freezing I need to get to a heat source". The fraps benchie runs through the canyon toward the heatsource at the far end. This screenie is 16x10 all high with 2xaa/16xaf, and notice 16 fps for a single 8800GT.


 
Crysis is a very tricky game, so everyone who says u cant do this or that should first inform themselves.

Depending on settings, diretcx, OS, OC on gpu, cooling system on gpu, number of Cores, and its speed, Ram, their timings and FSB, Motherboard, and even HDD take its part in this game.

Ill give you my expirince, since i latly got new comp.

First i had: A8N-SLI Deluxe motherboard, amd 64 bit 3200+, 2 GB 400MHZ OEM, and a Seagate baracuda 7.200 160 GB, 2X6600GT in SLI mode.

The settings: XP, DX9, Medium all, 1024*768. Lagged only on carreir intiriors (smoke was 2 much for 6600GTs).

Second comp: Asus Rampage Formula, q6600 no OC, 4gb ram 800mhz 4-4-4-12 Corsais XMS aluminium cooling, Samsung Spinpoint HD501J 500gb, 2x4850 in Crossfire.

The settings: Vista Sp1, DX10, all very high, no AA, 1600*1200. No lag at all, excepting virus updates, etc.

On the setitngs with 8800gt, or 9800gtx etc, dont forget to factor your other parts from the computer. one 8800GT, if oced and having a very powerfull backup, can run on dx9 high all 1680*1050 on up to 57 FPS and a minimum of 19. Besides dnt forget the 8800GT 2.0 PCI-e with some OC beats 8800 ULTRA in high resolutions.
 

You're missing the point, and in this case, are making it a lot trickier than it really is. A claim was made that a single 8800GT is staying above 30 fps in Crysis at 1600x1200 2xaa and all settings on high. This is absolutely impossible throughout most of the game. Nothing else needs to be factored in whatsoever as he stated his GPU, his exact resolution and settings, and his performance claim. OC everything on liquid and still manage the tightest of timings, and it would still not even be close. It's beyond what a single G92 GPU can do, period. The 8800Ultra can't even come close. And really, I bet the GTX280 would even struggle to stay above 30 fps throughout the game, regardless of the system it's on.
 
STOP ARGUMENT ABOUT THE FPS PLZZ!!!.
8800GT is 75% the performance of a 9800GTX+ and 80% a 9800GTX almost.
so 30fps in 9800gtx= 25fps on 8800gt. blablablablabala.....is a Nice card.
I can buy a 8800GT "OEM" here by half the price of a 9800GTX and i was wondering.
¿What is wrong with the "OEM" version to be so cheap against a 9800gtx?
