definitely u are able to play almost every game at high settings without lag except for crysis ...if u are not in a hurry u could wait until end of this year when nvidia announce their new GT300 series

it is better to aim for at least a 9600gt then u can play at high settings for almost every game but of course it will depend on what resolution u are running on...how big is your screen spoon?

lol omg sorry never read properly...anyway hope spoon is happy with his 9500gt then

crysis was never optimized warhead or not ....i am eager to see if crysis2 will suffer from the same problem

i am using everything at maxed settings on crysis and crysis warhead at 1680x1050 resolution without AA and i am getting around 25-35 fps for both games...dont really see the "optimization" at all and can get very choppy at some level....i hope they will improve performance in crysis 2 though

@Fyrekat
are u using vista? i think the problem is you have insufficient ram but i might be wrong though but most of the time stutters got something to do with memory or worst case would be your PSU

its more GPU dependent than CPU dependent and i think it does not take advantage of quad core at all...i bet using a dual core the fps wont be much different compared to mine....currently there is not 1 game that even fully utilize quad core and dont even talk about gta4 cause that game is totally unoptimized but an upcoming game called Alan Wake is said to fully utilize multicore(dual core and quad core)...will see when it comes out next year

well even an overclocked q6600 will pump out more FPS but crysis will still be choppy at certain levels

maybe changing your OS to vista will solve the problem but i am just guessing ..does your HDD light blinks a lot during cut scenes? it can even be as simple as defragging your hard drive to solve the problem

if more games start moving to dx10 and 11...those guys are bound to change to vista...whats the point of having a dx10 card when your OS doesnt even support it? stupid isnt it? dx11 games wont come out yet even if ATI and Nvidia release the card....it will take sometime before dx11 will be implemented on games so i dont think we should worry about it yet

for nvidia cards its better to go with reference dual slot cooling....i found those quiet even under load

crysis is different story...the game runs like shit even if u have the fastest single card...there is at least 15% increase or even more over the GT250 aka 9800gtx or whatever it is(GT250 is not even a GT200 architecture)....my fps boost up about 40-50 fps in Call Of Duty 4 Multiplayer from upgrading 8800gt to gtx 260 so 5%?...what a joke...i would believe if u said gtx 260 to gtx 275 is 5%

aiming all depends on how skilled u are in the game and does not relate to graphic card....its common sense
