Not impressed at all... Very poor showing in Crysis VH...

I will still probably get the card, but we'll have to wait for another generation until VH Crysis. I don't think the R700 will do it...

Looks like I'll be downgrading in a couple games...I just hope the performance gets better, not much time to mess around with only 15 days remaining in stepup.

Crysis Very High means DX10 and that means around 10FPS less compared to DX9.
DX9 with a custom config will give you the same, if not better, graphics with better performance.

Erm..wth happened with CoD4..That is one HELL of a difference in performance...and the price on GX2 is way cheaper...

The results are all over the place...i am hoping its a driver related issue.

If not..once the GTX280/260 comes out...i will purchase a GX2 since the price on that will drop alot..
