Don't say nuke and time together! Makes me think of Duke Nukem Forever... and you know how timely a fashion that's being released :P

I definitely would like to see some performance numbers soon. I'd like to know if the 8800 GTS 320 MB version would suffice or whether going to the 640 MB version would be ideal. From the numbers I saw on initial tests, the 8800 GT 320 MB was almost just as good (only difference is ram), it just suffered in EXTREMELY high resolution settings (that my monitor doesn't even support nor could I afford such a monitor ;) ). The price on it seems reasonable too at under $300. The 640 MB one isn't such a huge price leap higher (maybe $60-$90 more) so it's worth considering though if there's any real benefit in Crysis or something. I kind of doubt it though, but I realize the extremely high quality of textures in Crysis.
