    Fallout and Oblivion Maxed at 1900x1200.

    Frame rates never drop below 50 in Fallout 3 (60's max).

    Fallout maxes fine, but I cap the FPS to 30 to smooth it out. This game micro stutters like nothing else.

    Oblivion maxes easily. HDR+ 4xAA of course.

    Crysis can run high in DX9 just fine. Crysis Warhead runs pretty well with CCC 4+ (essentially very high) in DX9.

    That's odd, I thought I'd heard of crysis playing on much worse things than an 8600m (low settings obviously).

    Oblivion should max easily.. I can max it out on my Macbook Pro running under an unofficial Cider port... so in Windows it should be even better since Cider sucks some performance out.

    Fallout 3 Oblivion : Mix of Very High/High (shadows and the like) at 1440x900
    Crysis: Hard to say, since it's all running off of custom cfgs just to play it, but probably some mix of medium/high/some low to get the best mix of playability and look. Also at 1440x900.

    Sounds like a lot of people can play these games on pretty decent setting. I heard Bioshock was pretty demanding.
