if you really wanna see a pretty game, try out STALKER Clear Sky... if you can pull off Enhanced Full Dynamic Lighting and DX10 effects (i just can... about 45-50fps @ 1680x1050) it looks absolutely amazing... better than Crysis in Very High i daresay... even if you can pull that out, Enhanced Full Dynamic Lighting with DX9, or even just Full Dynamic Lighting + DX9 still look awesome and its not that GPU intensive (an 8800GT or a 3870 can bring acceptable rates at 1680x1050 with FDL and DX9)
