Its rumored that the 4850 will be around the 250 mark.

These days, 200-250 clams can get you a great card (8800GT/HD3870/9600GT) which will play most of todays games at high or very high settings.......

......but they are already in league two. The premier league cards start at around 300 bucks, as they have done for the past few years and probably will continue to do. The 9800GTX and the 3870x2 are 360,000 or more today. They outperform the above 200$ cards by quite a margin. When the next-gen are released this summer.......you might hope those 360,000 cards drop below 300,000......but in Korea???? I doubt it.

Best bang for buck at the moment seems to be the 9600GT. They seem to be really cheap on Danawa. An XFX 9600GT extreme 512MB is 160,000!!!! Great deal for a card that's within a hair of matching the 8800GT/HD3870.

You want to pay extra for a factory OC'd card when you could get the stock version and do it yourself in 10 seconds?

It ssems you're determined to get an 8800GT. So I'd say get the cheapest 512mb version out there. Then OC it.

For me, Crysis was a nextgen version of Farcry. Looks nice, but I didn't find it terribly interesting.

My motherboard was damaged during the trip home, so it gave me a good excuse to sell my old parts on Ebay and build a new computer (actually, get a new CPU and video card, as well as a motherboard and RAM).

My new specifications are a Q6600 at 3Ghz (why overclock it more? I can't tell a difference, really), P5N-D, 8800GT, 4GB DDR2/1066. Crysis is smooth almost all the time (so my guess is about 45fps average) with everything on high in DX9. I play using the Natural modification, so that might change it a bit, too.

I also know why my system was choppier before: I was playing it in DX10 on my 4200+ and 8800GTS, and DX10 definitely yields lower framerates than DX9. I'm running Vista x64, by the way. Anyway, I finally beat the game, and wow, was it lovely and smooth.

If you had the physics quality up maybe it was your CPU that couldn't handle it before. Also I hear running it in dx10 will give you a pretty noticeable performance hit.
