FREE Crysis PC Game
Earth, 2019. A team of US scientists makes a frightening discovery on an island
in the South China Sea. All contact with the team is lost when the North Korean
Government quickly seals off the area. The United States responds by dispatching
an elite team of Delta Force Operators to recon the situation. As tension rises
between the two nations, a massive alien ship reveals itself in the middle of
the island. The ship generates an immense force sphere that freezes a vast portion
of the island and drastically alters the global weather system. Now the US and
North Korea must join forces to battle the alien menace. With hope rapidly fading,
you must fight epic battles through tropical jungle, frozen landscapes, and
finally into the heart of the alien ship itself for the ultimate Zero G showdown.
Hands-On
-Assault and Power Struggle! "It
goes without saying at this point that Crysis looks amazing...There are
too many cool little optical effects to even mention...from the game's wondrous
visuals to the gameplay, along with the nature of the aliens and alien threat.
Judging from what we saw, it's safe to say that the game has plenty of surprises"

I'd bought this EVGA 8800 GTS SSC 640 MB card to upgrade an existing EVGA 8800 GTS SC 320 MB card on my Intel DP35DP motherboard, which has a single PCIe 16X v1.0 slot. After upgrading my display from 19'' to 24'', the 320 MB frame buffer would slow down the frame rates during gaming, so I needed the 640 MB version to remedy this. As the 640 MB card came with a full version of Crysis, I've had plenty of time to verify that it handles the extreme graphics load very well. This EVGA card has exceeded my expectations.

AWESOME card!!! As soon as I installed this card the first thing that I did was to play the FREE CRYSIS game that came with it. This card ran the game at the highest settings with NO lag at all. I have an xClio Windtunnel Case so cooling was not an issue at all. This cards has the G90 engine and according to Everest Ultimate Edition it DOES have 128 Stream Processors which would help to explain why it is so fast, even without overclocking. A lot less expensive tan the 800 GTS & Ultra versus with performance that is close to them.

Dual Monitor
Technology
Few PC users have ever experienced the huge productivity boost that comes
from using multiple monitors on the same PC. Ironically, many of
today's PC have the capability already installed, and Windows (since 2000)
natively supports dual monitors. Configuring dual monitors is so easy: just use
the second video port (if there are two separate ports installed), or add a
second video card or better yet, a video card that has dual DVI ports.
Then plug in your second monitor, change a couple of simple Windows settings,
and you have double the Windows Desktop. This lets you have your
spreadsheet and email visible at the same time, or PowerPoint and Photoshop.
The combinations are endless. And since most of the overhead is
handled by the video card, there is little significant impact (if any) on
system performance. Dual Monitors is one of the simplest, yet most
amazing productivity boosters you can add to your PC! Optionally, you can use a dual monitor stand and recover your workspace in the process!

PCI
Express - Delivering Dramatically Improved Graphics
Doubling the bandwidth of the AGP 8X graphics bus, the new PCI Express represents
the most profound change to desktop architecture in nearly a decade. PCI
Express replaces AGP, allowing much larger amounts of data to move between
the graphics card and the CPU, and will soon replace PCI expansion slots
as well. The PCI standard allows for a 32-bit bus with a maximum throughput
of 133MB/s. By contrast, PCI Express will run at 2.5GHz. PCI Express is
a two-way serial connection that carries data in packets along two pairs
of point-to-point data lines, compared to the single parallel data bus of
traditional PCI. Gamers will benefit from an incredible upgrade in video
quality with PCI Express, because it will allow for more powerful video
cards, inspiring developers to create more realistic environments that will
make games come alive with astonishingly lifelike colors and images. Video
enthusiasts will also benefit because PCI Express will accommodate higher-quality
video throughput (amount of data you can send per second). As network television
moves over to HDTV broadcasts, PCI Express positions the PC platform for
integration into the living room, while also allowing for HD video editing
and other bandwidth-intensive tasks. PCI Express is compatible with existing
PCI drivers and software operating systems and is designed to co-exist with
current PCI hardware.
Will Your
Motherboard Support the Video Card You're Purchasing? Here's the Answer...
Before you
buy - make sure your motherboard is compatible with this video card. For
example, PCI Express video cards won't work with motherboards designed
only for AGP or PCI video cards, and vice versa. Please read the specifications
carefully or call us for expert advice.
Close-Up:
PCI, AGP, and PCI-E (PCI Express)
Check
your motherboard and make sure you are purchasing the correct cardbus
type.
There are 3 types of cardbus slots currently available:
PCI, AGP, and PCI Express (PCIe 2.0 is compatible with PCIe slot)
PCI
- The most widely used I/O bus, it provides a shared data path between
the CPU and peripheral controllers, such as network, display, SCSI and
RAID cards. Though limited in terms of performance, they are considered
the best value when you upgrade your video capabilities on a PC. The PCI
interface can be found and used in nearly any motherboard. Click
here to view our selection of PCI Cards
AGP
- The AGP slot is next in line of higher graphic performance. It was designed
especially for the throughput demands of 3-D graphics. It offers up to
8x improvement over a PCI card, is 32 bits wide and runs at 66 MHz. It
provides a direct connection between the card and memory, and only one
AGP slot is on the motherboard. The motherboard must be equipped with
an AGP bus slot for an AGP card to be compatible.(AGP 1x provided a data
transfer rate of 264 Mbytes/sec. AGP 2x is 528 Mbytes/sec. AGP 4x is 1
Gbyte/sec. AGP 8x is 2 Gbytes/sec.) Click
here to view our selection of AGP Cards
PCI
Express - PCI Express is the newest technology that
is superior to both PCI and AGP, in terms of graphic performance. It offers
performance as much as 4x faster than the fastest AGP 8X slot. PCI Express
connections can support fast data transfer rates, which can be used to
connect high-speed devices such as high-end video cards. The slots come
in different variations and speeds, such as x1, x4, x8, and x16. Presently,
most high-end motherboards meant for design, video production, or gaming
come with PCI express slots. To use a PCI Express card, your computer
must have at least one available PCI Express slot. Click
