So, I apologize for my rudeness.

What you wrote was good, Sgt. D. Pilla needs to listen to other people sometimes and take in their opinions without always forcing his own on them

Also, i dont think admins deserve special treatment, they are here to police the forums, not to be gods in it

true...but i probably could have said it nicer

No, YOUR wrong, you don't have a gaming system, its clearly built to be an standard home/office system, not built to be a gaming system, even though you may game on it....
Do you play Crysis at all? If so, then you KNOW that Resolution does nothing for the framerate, and AA hardly effects the 8800GT until you actually get to a decent level (8* +)
Crytek have stated that Resolution sizes don't effect the Framerate dramatically like they do in other games.
According to numerous sources, the 9800GTX runs Crysis @ 16FPS at 1440*900 Very High AA 2*
The 8800GT does 21FPS Very High 1280*1024 (Essentially the same size resolution) 19FPS for 4* AA.
9800GTX is a fail card, even ask nVidia that!
The developers did a fine job on Crysis, they've said in interviews and pod casts that they didn't make the game for everyone, they made it to push hardware and to push the boundries of gaming graphics/engines, and they have
Your system would be considered a basic gaming system, just like mine, that GPU is fine, Ram is mine, CPU is more then fine for Crysis

And your talking to the wrong person about cutting processes, I know slighly more about computers then you sound like you do

I listen more then you know, only difference is, Im right..., and average gaming system *Going by gamers* is a quad OR a similar CPU to mine, 8800Ultra/GTS G92/GTX or higher, and 4GB Ram + Raptor HDDs.
I don't have anything even close, other then the CPU which SUCKS hard!

Also, clearly you don't know the forums well at all, Im not an admin....Well i am, but don't have the badge of it yet <_<

I have no clue where you get your information....

Did you just completely overlook TigerDirect's tests on the 9800gtx?

and resolution DOES affect performance,

Try running Crysis on a lower resolution then on your monitor's max supported...THERE WILL BE A DIFFERENCE...but since you seem to be oblivious to everything we are saying....you probably wont notice anything.

Since my new rig that i am making is going to quash yours anyway...I'll forgive your lack of intelligence.


HAVE A NICE DAY

A non gaming system is pretty much anything with integrated graphics, what would be the point in buying an 8600 if it wasnt used for games? Its not top range gaming system, but it can easily be used to game on.

And rendering more pixels, means more for the GPU to do, and so lower frame rate
Ive uploaded 2 screens running crysis at High DX9, one at 800*480, other at 1440*900, which is 3.4 times the size, and runs 2.5 times slower

But yet similar graphics can be seen in other titles and can run at a much better framerate? Crysis is the same as the Battlefields, they are awesome to play, but badly optimized (If you try making a game, you will see there is always room for more optimizations, since crysis was running badly, they shouldve spent more time working on less costly ways of doing things)
Look at http://www.projectoffset.com/media/g4tv.wmv, to me, those graphics look better than crysis, and were recorded in realtime back in 2005 (before they had the 8 series..)

A good example of bad optimizations is the shadows, they work fine in other games, but yet dont look that good in crysis and run like crap (DX9 mode)

Tried it, only noticed 3 FPS difference between my max, and the minimum, Crytek on the Crytek forums said the same thing
Also tested on my 6600, only 5FPS difference between max and minimum

@Weesals, crytek have stated in VARIOUS podcasts that they wanted to PUSH GPUs, so the games controlled the market and how far games could advance, and not the hardware, why let, hardware, control video game advancement, its stupid, and pointless
And no, Project Offset gfx remind me of Oblivon only newer, they are in no way better then Crysis, even on lowest

Shadows look mad pro in Crysis, they are actually high res and actually look believable, unlike shadows of former games like bf2 and such were they are hell blocky.

I used to play on Very High, and now I'm using the "ultra high config." I'm playing on a 2.8Ghz C2D, OC'd 8800GT, and 2Gb of RAM.

The overclocking really made the difference, imo, to be able on that high of a setting.

Of course, my resolution is only 1280x1024.

You're lucky. I'd play it on high on 800x600 without complaints, if it wasn't because anything below 1680x1050 on my monitor looks like AntiAliasing's worst enemy.

Why not use a lower res with AA then?

[Nemmerle]

Or play in window mode. *shudder*

There's nothing wrong with doing it like that... in fact that's how I play Oblivion, maxed out on all settings but running 640x.

The 280GTX just came out. I read a Maximum PC benchmark and the prototype GT did I think 38 FPS [all settings maxed, 1920x res] whereas the the 9800XT did about 27. I do recall though the 3870X2 did better, around 40 FPS.
