    Quiet 68XX / 69XX / 5XX Card for 1920x1200?

    Hi, Just picked up a cheap 6850 for $160 from newegg last week, I'm happy with the performance of the card since I don't care about AA or super-high details but damn it's quiet loud - even at idle.

    Could someone explain to me layman's why...

    We still can't play games like Crysis @ 1920x1080 without going below 30fps? Yea, it's a basic question but I just find it really annoying to spend nearly $200 on a piece of hardware. And, yes it works most of them but sometimes it can't keep up. What's hold us back exactly?
