In obvious news today; it seems that using a new technology, with new drivers, on games that aren’t exactly designed to use it, isn’t meeting the exact expectations we had expected. It seems that Crysis is one of only a handful of games the experience any boost in performance by using 4 of the latest and greatest GPUs from Nvidia. This is to be expected as Crysis is the only game that comes to mind right now that actually has untapped potential.

I am sure that given a few months time for Nvidia to iron out the drivers, by the time games start showing up that can use this technology, it will prove to set new standards in how graphics are approached.

Now if Nvidia could only fix the price of these suckers, it might be totally worth it to get a pair in anticipation of when it worked.
