A 8800GT is much more powerful than my card
The difference in Crysis settings between medium and high quality can be seen on the link. Obviously patches and driver updates increase the FPS but not by 200-300% Lets not forget that a 22" LCD has a res of 1650x1080 so closer to 1600x1200 than 1280x1024
Here is a link from a well respected site:

They used the following spec system which is higher than the system the user is aiming for.
Test setup:
Asus P5K3 Deluxe
Intel Core 2 Quad QX6850 (FYI: similar to the E6850 in games)
Kingston 2 x 1024 MB setup in DDR-3 800 6-6-6-15-21
Hitachi T7K250 250 GB
DVD Player Asus 12x
Tagan U15 Easycon 530 W
Windows XP Pro
ForceWare 167.37 (all GeForce all games except Crysis)
ForceWare 169.01 (all GeForce under Crysis)
Catalyst 7.10 WHQL
I only have a 2600xt card as I tend to play games on my Xbox on the big screen, so I havent personally played crysis. I think the TC should wait 2 weeks to see what the new G92 chips are like or wait till January for the 3870x2 reports.
