Maybe Quad-SLI is not overkill...

I did have to turn shadows down some cuz it slows it down a little plus they look ****** anyway. Crytek should really work on shadow quality. I mean they were great in Crysis 1 but they suck now, i cant even see the individual shadows from strands of hair. Anyone else noticed this problem? Apparantly i should have gone Quadfire cuz those lucky fvckers that went that route instead arnt having this problem.

120 min * 60 = 7200 sec
7200 sec * 24 fps = 172,800 frames
8.5 GB DVD / 172,800 frames = 51.6 KB

Even a little less to fit the sound tracks and other data. So proportionally a frame of a 4096x2160 video would be about 1.3 MB. I don't think we'll see 8 megapixel videos any time soon.

With DVD's isn't in the streaming data rate /s that really matters and arn't DVD's in MB/s when it comes to that?

You're right. Most are about 7mbps. this is equal to about 900KB/s or about 36 KB/frame using this method . And thats using outdated mpeg2. If they used newer technologies you could use even less bandwidth to achieve the same quality.
