Crysis 2

[gtrivedi]

Hi I have Crossfire ATI Radeon HD 4890.
It runs every game nicely including Dead Space 2 and COD: Modern Warfare 2 without any problems.

However it slows down a little bit on Crysis (2007).
With the new Crysis 2 coming in March, I wanted to make sure my PC can handle it. I think I should be good from a CPU and memory point of view but graphics card...I'm not too sure.

What do people think? Can I still get ATI radeon 5970 somweher? That has 32oo stream processing units. i'm sure it can handle crysis 2 as its damn fast card.

Can I order a new grpahics card only from PC Specialist?

yeah i'm sure you can. you may want to mention your current pc spec here, incase your PSU isn't up to a more demanding graphics card though.

PSU is 1100 Watts. i think it should be able to support the graphics card.
by the way whats the best graphics card from ATI right now?

ohhh yeah, that'll be plenty. I don't know that much about GPU's and even less about ATIs - have you found this site : http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php you can compare different cards, even in SLI and OC'd.

FYI, the top AMD/ATI Card is the Radeon HD6970 (2GB) - http://www.amd.com/us/products/desk...d-6970/Pages/amd-radeon-hd-6970-overview.aspx

WHAT?! no the best card is the HD5970, the HD6970 is AMD's best single-GPU card but if you compare the HD5970 and HD6970 the HD5970 comes out on top.

Phoenix is correct! Although they seem to be improving... dual GPUs still send shivers down my spine

I think AMD & nVidia will both launch some top-end dual GPUs this year, hopefully they'll both be good, reliable cards.
