Geforce 8800 256mb is good enough , but on Crysis you`ll only get around 24 frames average.

Well Is that a nvidia^? If not get a NVIDIA 9800 GT 1gb and if you do not have atleast a 350 watt PSU(Power Supply Unit) Then you would need to buy a new one i just got mine 1 night ago and holy cow it ran as smoother than a 360 one! So basically try to get a nvidia 9800 GT and it is a PCI-E gfx card just to let you know

This is what I got: http://ati.amd.com/products/radeonx1950/index.html I don't have vista, and I don't have crysis, but it can run the crysis demo good. It also runs all the orange box games good.

I have 3x Geforce 9800 GTX. I may go for x4 but I dont see the need to. When I had only 1 I ran Crysis pretty good. I say get a 9800.

I have 8600 GT, and I can run Crysis and Halo fairly well, but Crysis lags with motion blur on, and on any setting above mainstream. I haven't actually tried anything above it, but it works well enough for me.

No, I'm not going to buy a new video card :D. I have a laptop, and it's not mine anyway.

If you want something good and cheap, the 8600GTS is a pretty good deal.
