WilliamWatts said: Well you can take what you want from that, but to truely 'own' Crysis you'd need to step up to an HD 5850 level graphics card. |
Those benchmarks are for 4x AA at 1920x1200, which stresses any non-high-end card. Setting AA to 2x or even 0x would get you playable framerates and not make much of a difference in looks (antialiasing makes much more of a difference at lower resolutions). Plus, then you could crank the graphics settings up to Very High.
This, by the way, is why I don't trust Crysis benchmarks with AA enabled: They give you a very inaccurately low representation of what your card is capable of. In case you don't believe me, by the way: This benchmark shows an average 34 FPS at 1920x1200 on High settings with no AA. You should be able to easily achieve the same with a Core-i5 at your command.
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
