Why does it have to run Crysis 2 on maximum settings? Is it because of the "uber-graphics?" :p (Which aren't demanding at all compared to the first Crysis.) Or are you actually planning on playing Crysis 2 enthusiastically?

Different games come with different coding and optimizations, and typically if a graphics card can handle a sub-optimally programmed game on even medium/high settings, then that graphics card should be good enough for you.

As for a graphics card that can run Crysis 2 on it's absolute highest settings for under $100? I'm not sure if that's possible, but if you're at $100, go with a GTS 450 or Radeon HD 6770 (5770 rebadged).

It is impossible to max out Crysis 2 with a $100 budget.

Yeah, what Winning said.

You can't max out crisis with a $100 budget. The GTX 280 is really good but priced very high. I dunno, try the GeForce 8800? I'm not very great with graphics cards unless they are the high end ones. Winky Winky

What is your exact budget? Because if you have the extra $30-$50, I can name a ton of better solutions.

I dont have an exact budget. But an extra 30-50 is definitely not a big deal the reason I said 100 was because of my lack of knowledge on graphics cards price wise.

I thought that was expensive for graphics cards. I didnt know what the average price was buddy. Now I know you need to spend more for a decent card :y:
