That is fair and well done. I wasn't offended or anything, but its important people know what is capable with these kinds of things, because they are just so expensive. I bought this card a year ago when it first released and was hugely expensive. So I wish it would last for years at full settings, but I'm not going to be that fortunate
You are probably right to be happy with your 8800GTX with the games you have on your own personal radar though. The card does a great job with most games.
Its just that occasionally there are exceptions, and they really bring the card to its knees, which is such a shame. I am generally happy with my 8800GTX though, but it is a real shame to see how it struggles in some games. Luckily I am happy for now, because it plays most things well (or well enough), but I might get more and more peaved with its performance throughout 2008. Depends on the games really and whether I am interested in playing them or not. But one for example, called Alan Wake, I am very keen to play, but I am expecting my once mighty PC to just melt when that game is released :p I'm also going to wait a while until I play Crysis, because although it was 20fps when I first played it, it spikes down to 11fps in parts, and that is not playable at those speeds. So rather than lower the quality settings, I am just going to wait for the patch and hope that brings some improvements. =)
