"Crysis" on my newly built computer

[donutdan4114]

Besides buying a new card, you could always just set the game to max settings, then just turn down the AA, and the resolution... By doing that, the graphics will still look amazing... but just A LITTLE pixalated... I am the same way with games, I have to make them run perfectly on the highest settings it will allow... But AA is the biggest killer usually.

I don't actually like placing AA on in the games I play. I actually prefer a sharper look in games, for some reason.

Have a read of this:

O yeah... you just have to wait like 10 mins lol...

It said that you have to SLI 3 GTX's(?) to run Cyrsis on very high lol.

Erm, that 8800GTS will not like your Power Supply...basically because there is not enough wattage. here, get this one instead:

Amperage matters, too.
My 460Watt enermax powers my 8800GT just fine, I also used a 8800GTS for a short amount of time in here as well.
33amps on the 12+v fyi.

As in, the card I have in my computer right now isn't gonna like my power supply?

Hey guys, I'm gonna go ahead and bump this thread again for one last question.
The opportunity for me to return/exchange my eVGA video card is now or never. I want to see what you guys think:

CURRENT CARD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130317

UPGRADE CARD:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130312


Do you guys think its worth upgrading to this? My mobo doesn't support SLI unfortunately, so I will always be using one video card at a time (until I decide to upgrade )

So yeah, should I go ahead and return/get the new one? Is there something better I should consider in that price range? Is it even worth it?

Any comments/suggestions welcome. Thanks!
