Crysis: rig to play at 30 FPS.

Yeah I agree with stenchlord. Based on what I get with my PC in 1024x768 and at my normal resolution, I think you would achieve it if you got something like an 8800GT, similar, or better. Otherwise I think you might struggle.

If you could build the PC yourself, you would probably get a better ...

Anyone seen the Alone in the Dark 5 tech demo?

I think this game will go down the line of the BIOSH***

Anyone seen the Alone in the Dark 5 tech demo?

I'm sceptical :/

But I'm an old git who grew up with the original game which was pretty special. So I just worry that this will cheapen all that by making it into a typical "survival horror" where it's little more than bashing zombies on the head with an iron bar, a plank of wood, a branch of a ...

Crysis?????

I've seen a lot of people say that.

would SLI be useful for 1680x1050 gaming???

I think you should get an 8800GTX.

I don't like SLI because you lose too much. Its double the price, double the heat, double the power draw, but its not double the speed. So you aren't really getting value for money. If I was you, I would just but an 8800GTX. And unless you plan on watercooling ...
