GeForce 8800GT enough for Crysis 2 on medium
Since NVIDIA is one of the main companies behind Crytek and its Crysis 2 game, they had a chance to get it early and test some of its own graphics cards on various settings and resolutions. It looks like optimisation done by Crytek has paid (or should we say, console compromises), off so you'll be able to play it quite nicely at 1680x1050 and medium settings while running the quite old GeForce 8800GT graphics card. NVIDIA ran the benchmark with 8800GT, GTX 260, 460, 560 Ti, 570 and the 580 paired up with Core i7-960, 6GB of DDR3 memory and Windows 7 64-bit OS, and the 8800GT was enough to score just above 30fps at 1680x1050 on medium ( advanced ) settings.

Windows 8 tablets planned for Q3 2012
In terms of tablet platforms, it seems like 2011 will see a battle between Apple's iOS and Google's Android, with Microsoft likely to take only a small porting of the market with Windows 7. In 2012 however, Windows 8 is expected to make a big push into the tablet space. Although a leaked presentation slide suggested Windows 8-based tablets will be seen as early as CES 2012, a report claims that Microsoft is actually gunning for a back-to-school (Q3) introduction of tablets based on its upcoming operating system. This timeline would see Windows 8 devices entering a battlefield on which both iOS and Android have consolidated their positions, with Apple likely to have the iPad 3 already out, while the Android generation will probably be at its third major release.
