Our test station has been updated to include Far Cry as part of our benchmark suite. I believe the 3.4GHz Pentium 4 Extreme Edition is still fast enough for most users. Unfortunately, the 7800GTX is going to be CPU limited in a lot of cases, showing little performance difference from a graphics core speed increase. Perhaps, once the R520 gets released we'll update our test system.
