so it CAN max out Crysis!

that's not the max resolution on crysis, is it? (am i trying to justify spending over $1300 on GPU alone?)

still that is impressive jump from last gen's max... i wonder where fermi x2 will stand in 2010

That's 1920x1200. It's not running at ultra high settings, but the one lower. That's still really good. I wonder what it does on ultra, but I didn't see any benchmarks for that.

There's been some really bad news when it comes to Fermi. Some leaked reports say that it will be slightly less powerful that the GTX285. If the rumors are true, and I really hope they aren't, then it's AMD's turn to charge exorbitantly for their high-end GPU just like nVidia did with the 8800GTX and competition will suffer, and so will prices. Right now is NOT a good time for competition stagnation in the pc market, since lots of game developers are moving away from developing titles for the pc anyway.

Most of the new nvidia cores run slower than the previous editions but the new technology that they bring usually justifies the update. Most nvidia GPUs we have now are highly optimized editions that were released over a year ago.

however if the reports are true then that will really suck for nVidia, but on the flip side, most of the times when nVidia is down ATI is up and when ATI is down the reverse happens for nVidia. Maybe its timing or just how things are.
