[QUOTE=''Hot_Potato''] 8800 GTS 320 MB at the most.You could probably get away with a 7900GS or the like.[/QUOTE] a 7900Gs will not max out crysis or stalker with AA and AF at that res, and still get a good frame rate. i think an 8800GTS would defiently.
For STALKER, you'd need to get up with THQ and have them properly optimize the game.I can max out STALKER with my X1900XT at 12x10 without any apparent issues, aside from the occasional slow spot (which appear to be random, not when too much is happening). I don't doubt that the 7900GS should be able to handle that load as well.
just a quick question, how does the 7900 GS compare to the X1900GT?
It's overall better and once overclocked it's an amazing card.The X1900GT is still a great card though, considering you can find it for $115-130 nowadays. :)
there around the same price here in uk, the 7900GS imo is just a great alrounder card.

Let me tell you I could max stalker with a 7600GS with static lighting so anything better should max with dynamic. I would get a X1950PRo the 7900GS sucks comepared to it. ATi won the war last 3 gens imo.
