Nice sir! =P

When I first tried that game on my old laptop, it ran at like 16 fps on the LOWEST settings, so I never tried it again.(this is 2 computers ago)

I should give it a try on my new rig now too

Nice.

First time i ran crysis was on a P4 with a geforce 4 i believe framerate was like 4-9fps

I have a GeForce 4 on a Pentium 2 lol.(I used to play Counterstrike in multiplayer on this, oh what pain...)
The good stuff that comes with a newer graphics cards isn't only gaming. It has built-in HDMI, so I don't have to complicate myself with DVI-to-HDMI connectors when trying to plug the computer in a TV. It also has some weird "display-port" connector, but what the heck do you use that for?
The hardware acceleration on youtube actually works every time now.
Rendering and editing in hardware-accelerated programs is faster!

The power consumption of the PC also dropped from ~90W to ~55W in idle.

I was just saying Crysis as the good old joke, but I can enjoy a lot of newer games on the bigger screen, games that would only run on my Nvidia 650m 1600x900 laptop. And the older ones run fluently as fuck.

And this isn't even mid-range, I believe it's the higher point of entry-level cards.

What does the "display port" look like?

Like a hdmi, bit bigger and one side is square + an L shape pin array like sata.

Can drive 4 1080p60 displays off one cable

That's display port is pretty neat!

As in Crysis? Not Crysis 2 or 3? Crysis?

Original for me

Not sure I've even seen one of those.

@Urby, what if I tell you I can also run Metro LL?

Damn... I would like to be able to run those games too! D:

Fuck meh...

So many games... =P

Metro LL is a much better test for modern hardware. Hell, my OLD pc could run Crysis maxed out.
