depends on resolution but yes
get an i5 750 for identical game performance for much less

What resolution is it fine for?
[QUOTE=andrewtho1;19814370]What resolution is it fine for?[/QUOTE]
1080p+
You've got 2009 hardware for a 2007 game. Not like crysis is still a benchmark for anything that has been made after it.
1080p huh, cool. I didn't know they made progressive monitors. Do they have interlaced monitors, too?
I thought 1080p referred to videos, I guess not :(

because it's not like crysis is still the most GPU demanding game out there or anything
The 5870 running on tri-monitor 5760x1080 resolution all maxed out on L4D, it never drops below 90fps.
I think the 5870 could run crysis on atleast low.
/sarcasm.
It'll probably give you at least 35 FPS at 1920 x 1080 on some of the graphic intensive scenes.

1080p is universal for 1920 pixels width and 1080 pixels height at 60Hz or 60 frames per second.

i'm pretty sure it isn't, anymore, but it's still an excellent overall system benchmark.
and plus it's actually a good game if you ignore the simple story and cheesy dialogue. and play it on a system that has a steady framerate higher than 40 frames per second.
not always 1080p also refers to 1440x1080.
and, the p = progressive, explain to me what a progressive screen is
Wait is it still impossible to run Crysis maxed out? I haven't been updated on this game in a long time.

no it does not. incorrectly, yes. it's a common misconception. an actual 1080p screen will only be of 1920x1080 resolution, 60Hz. or 60 progressive frames per second. however, that said, for content it need only be either 1920 pixels in width and at/under 1080 pixels in height, or 1080 pixels in height and at or under 1920 pixels in width. but for screens/displays, 1080p refers strictly to 1920x1080 and being capable of 60 progressive frames per second.
what a progressive screen is, is a screen that shows one entire image/frame at a time. interlaced is basically flickering and in a way showing 2 frames at once.

as a further example in what i was talking about for content, a typical blu-ray is actually 1920x800, but this is still 1080p due to the width. some blu-rays are less than 1920 pixels in width but 1080 pixels in height, an example would be Nightmare Before Christmas 1794x1080. this is still considered 1080p due to the height.

not really.
3 295s an i7 and 6gb of ram can do 2500x1600 just to add to the insult, but i think 3 5870 can do better.

You can't SLI 3 GTX 295 right now.
Damn i want a 5870
OP bought a prebuilt.
I feel so bad for you.

It isnt, I can play Crysis, albeit at very low settings but its smooth, If I play GTA IV on lowest settings my screen is just black, when I turn the settings up, I get something, but it laggs like a fuck.

A prebuilt with a good videocard in it? That's near impossible

GTA IV is a CPU Dependent game, sure you need a good graphics card but a very powerful CPU. Crysis is more of a you need a stronger GPU than CPU.

oh look, it's you again. are you [I]still[/I] insisting the 295 is best?

not impossible, but at high resolutions it's still fairly difficult
[QUOTE=ShitBalls;19820407]A prebuilt with a good videocard in it? That's near impossible[/QUOTE]
My prebuilt is the same specs as OP, beside mine has 12 GB RAM.
The deal was good, I couldn't have done much better by building myself. Beside that, it came with 2 year guarantee and 2 free services worth ~100 USD each - and free support, of course.
I do, however, agree, that it is near impossible if you narrow your search down to, say, HP, Dell, Acer and the other world-wide known brands.
