Two things first.
1: i was unsure abt where to put this thread..whether on the Graphics card section or the Gaming section :S ? finally i decided to put it here...since i wanted to show how a Ge Force 7 series card can handle Crysis (pretty well..well..may be not as efficiently as a GeForce 8..but no less :clap: )
2: i was also thinking abt putting or merging this thread with the "NVIDIA Releases New Windows XP Drivers" thread,since i had made a comment on Crysis there on how it performs on my card..and it went haywire :S ...so i decided to put all doubts to rest and make a detailed analysis on the game with my card..so i thought abt putting it to the test or shud i say, "The Ultimate Test" (since its Crysis v r talking abt)
So here goes nothing...:S :ashamed:
COMMON SETTINGS
First i started the game with the common settings like adjusting the movement and combat options.And then i kept a base resolution of 1024*768, AA turned OFF, Full screen enabled which i kept the same for all LOW,MEDIUM and HIGH settings (in the Advanced section) and the default settings for COLOR and the HUD.The pictures for common settings are as shown below:

LOW SETTINGS
Then i started with the low settings keeping everything low in advanced section,monitoring the CPU and PF usage as well and since GPU temp was a normal 61 degrees i didn't feel the need to take a screenshot..The pictures for LOW settings are as shown:

MEDIUM SETTINGS
Then i started with the medium settings keeping everything medium,monitoring the CPU and PF usage and the GPU Temperatures.The pictures for MEDIUM settings are as shown:

HIGH SETTINGS

Pardon me, if i have made any kind of mistakes anywhere, as this is my first big and detailed thread :ashamed: . i will answer any more queries if u guys are having any...and by the way..Crysis ran quite smoothly on my GPU on LOW and MEDIUM settings and a bit jerky on HIGH Settings...and frankly speaking the hype on Game's gfx IMO is over rated...
I hope this gives some hope for Ge Force 7 series card holders.......
