    Yeah but come one how many people need to play games at those kind of resolutions?

    Most use a max resolution of 1650x1050...and a single gtx can do this...admittedly not with all the trimmings but most of them...
    crysis is next generation game so it only makes sense that current cards are struggling with it particulary if you start bumping up resolutions...

    If it weren't for games like Crysis, which push the hardware to catch up, the PC gaming industry would be long dead. It was kind of sad for a while where a 8800GTX played all games at max res with ease.

    3 way sli is real overkill :)

    I have a 8800 gtx and its not too far away from being playable at max settings 1900x1200 in crysis. 2 would definitely manage it. 3 way sli would be overkill to the max.

    every other game besides crysis will play pretty well with just one GTX at reasonable resolution! This is for the person who can afford it then afford to regret it a year down the line when they 6 cards on the one board or something!

    also a new first, it will cook your eggs too.

    too much tbh, and anyone who seriously considers using 3 graphics cards need to get laid.
