I'm ready to get whatever the new HD8000 series card is.

[Muhammad Farrukh]

Will 8000 and 700 get here in time?
I'll be looking for mid-range card, so I guess, I'll have to get a 7000 or 600 one, if I want to play at the earliest

Hard to say. I'd think we'd see a replacement for the 7750 / 7770 soon, they're getting long in the tooth.

I can hold off on playing Crysis 3 till after I get a new video card. I'm thinking a future HD 8870 would be nice, depending on price, 2nd option would be a 8850 just to save a bit of money.

When it comes out, somebody will have their RMA'd card missing in transit for a long time. Seriously. Just kidding.

Crysis 3 has the most realistic vegetation I've ever seen in a video game. Also, it's a DX11-only title. Cevat Yerli confirmed it in an interview with GameTrailers (see here). He mentions Crysis 3 being DX11-only at around 5 minutes and 25 seconds.

While the idea of running through long grass sniping aliens (New design yet again) and CELL guys with exploding arrows makes me immensely happy, I'm still not sure if the game is going to be good, especially considering how much it changed from 1 to 2.

Basically, if NanosuitNinja is interested, I'll be interested.

A 7770 now, and to run Crysis 3, is a terrible suggestion.

The rest, sure, fine, but the bottom end to run Farcry 3 on high is the 7870 / GTX 660 level, we can assume Crysis will be in that ballpark.

Not only no, but HECK no.

CryENGINE3 is a known quantity, and the ONLY way you'd need an HD7870 *or* GTX660 is if you were running on Ultra *and* at 1920x1080 and maxed out the textures - that's not low-end in the slightest.

I'm not talking all-out high-end or extreme-end here.

By the by, what engine is FC3 using?

I's using a modified version of Cryengine... I don't remember very well....the exact name.

Dunia, which is a heavily modified version of CryEngine. Far Cry 3 uses Dunia 2, to be specific.

The 7770 will run high at 1680, most likely. It's a dead card, at this point, especially for Crysis 3, when the 8000 series should be out by the time the game is out.

I have been following CRYSIS 3 for the last couple of months and it gets better each time I look...

If you're still thinking, just wait.

I think a 7770 is going to quickly disappoint you. A 7850 is the lowest I'd go in ATi land these days.
