crysis on my new rig

i know its an old game now... but i have always wanted a high end PC that runs Crysis with (VERY HIGH) graphics settings all round..

just built my new rig . . . . i ran out money towards the end so i got a low end GPU just to run my monitor/ get the system running....

SPECS are - i7 960 @3.2 (stock)
- Gigabyte X58A-UD5
- 6GB RAM (triple channel)
- Corsair A70 CPU cooler
- WD caviar black SATA2 32MB 500GB HDD(s)
GPU - NVIDIA GeForce GT 430

CRYSIS actually runs very well on all (HIGH) graphics settings...

(with an 80 buck, low profile geforce gt 430 card!)

--- When i put all the settings on 'very high' i see much more lag... but it is still very playable... sorta..

surprised how well this cheap card performs. (i still cant wait to get a monster! but for now..... (high) will do me!

Anyone else found similar results???

cheers

When i get my SSD boot/app drive,, will only the loading times improve or will the in-game graphics show improvement too?

(after i get my system running again on the SSD i will go GPU shopping)..

No girlfriend + less beer + less food = great computer! oh well
