Nvidia's upcoming GT200 series of GPUs will be the first cards to offer adequate frame rate for Crysis game title, at least according to early benchmarks.

Although these numbers are not confirmed, The Inquirer has posted some results indicating that Nvidia's new GPUs offer adequate performance.

None of the currently available graphics cards are capable of offering adequate FPS with Crysis at 1920 x 1024 with High Quality Settings enabled.

The GeForce GTX 280 and the GTX 260 will be available later this summer priced at $450 and $650 respectively. AMD is also expected to release the ATI Radeon 770/4870 series at the same period.
