Anyone who claims they dont get a big drop in FPS with lesser cards at high settings and at high res are just kidding themselves. I build custom gaming rigs for a living i build at least 2 PC's a week on average and i always advise my customers to opt for Nvidia cards not because they are necessarily better but because the drivers are more inclined to work well with many more games than ATI have been known to.
Anyway thanks for the info mate and enjoy your new rig!

Actually Golden_Eagle_FM posted that it is
not the SLI that makes this sim run fast
I couldn't put it any better than he did. It's not the Twin 8800GTX that makes your rig fast (or not), but the combination of the parts in your PC. As it was stated in the recent weeks a lot of times, Crysis runs on a 600$ PC with perfect settings. I just depends on what you spend your money and that you configure your PC right.
So "Anyone who claims they dont get a big drop in FPS with lesser cards at high settings and at high res are just kidding themselves." is as wrong as wrong can be, especially for this sim. If I run IL2 with my C2D 6600 & 2400 and at 3600MHz, it's a difference of about 5-9 AVG FPS gain in BlackDeath.
@ Eagle:
Do you play LockOn? I'd really like to know what FPS you get, when setting clipping-distances to max.
