Crysis
After being the ultimate card for the Supreme Commander gamer, the 8800 GTS 512 MB appears to be in the same position for this little game that only a few people know about. Namely: Crysis. It is superior to the GTX in the end but its lead falls seriously as we move up in resolution and in filters. This is so pronounced that in 1280*1024 + antialiasing 4X and in 1600*1200 + antialiasing 4X, the GTX takes back the lead. Overall, Crysis seems to be more sensitive to the GPU’s power than the memory bandwidth. In regards to the lead of the new GTS over the old GT, it varies between 11 and 16 %. The fact remains that 1600*1200 isn’t comfortably playable with this 8800 GTS 512 MB, even though we weren’t using a high level of details.

Yeah it is about time we seen a card faster than the gtx, I'm hardly excited that a year later the new cards are "almost" as fast as the gtx
Interesting. Soon they'll unleash the 9 series on us and boost their popularity again. All this feels like the build up to it.
You want to talk about rendering, just get the 8800GTX or Ultra, download the Human Head program and pick up your Jaw after it drops in aw, LOL!

P.S. I've heard you can run this program on the 8600 Cards as well but the F/R's aren't as good as the 8800 series.
