My 8500gt destroyed crysis. No lie. I thought it wasn't gonna be able to handle it but it actually held up pretty darn good. And i got both the 8500 gt's for only $100, and then I stepped up to a 8800 gt with the one and used the other one for my mom's rig. So in the end I made money off of them, hehe.

It was deleted because it tore a hole in the fabric of reality. Not to mention where that kinda thread could lead...
