I think some of us forget our monster GTX's (and Ultra in the sense its just a faster GTX) are a year old now. If everyone recalls, when the 6800 series was king it took about a year as well before they started to be pushed to thier limits in games. I welcome something that pushes my hardware to its limits

For now just scalling back to High on a few things allows me to play 1920x1200 with 2xAA just fine and still have it look damn good. When more than 1 game starts to push my hardware in the way Crysis does I will look toward better hardware, for now as its the only game doing it I don't really care to much and have no plans for an upgrade
