The Core is Exposed

Saw this on Digg today: apparently the dollar value of a smooth game of Crysis at maximum detail sits at around $1800 for only the video cards, plugged into what one can only assume is the Citadel's dark energy reactor. Gaze upon their works, and despair:

PC Games Hardware magazine has finally done it. They got Crysis to run smooth on very high with a Triple SLI video card setup. The cards alone cost over $1800. I didn’t even know they made power supplies that could output 1200W!


The article in its entirety can be viewed at Gemega, with benchmarks. The way things are going, Crysis is shaping up to be one of 2010's best games.
