Wow pretty hardcore, I just make the minimum requirements. Lets face it when a manufacturer tells you the minimum they really do mean the MINIMUM! Time for an upgrade I think!

The_Pope · 24th Jul 2006, 16:56

Considering the game is 6+ months away, plenty of time for prices to tumble

saeghwin · 24th Jul 2006, 17:04

I'm below the recommended specs in a couple of areas. Not by much though (7800 GT, 1GB RAM, A64 3700+). I'll probably upgrade in a couple of months.

fargo · 24th Jul 2006, 17:04

with my p4 3ghz 2gigs of ram and my 850xt I think I will be quite
comfortable but for the follow up to crysis I'm sure to need an over
haul! can't wait!!!

Darkedge · 24th Jul 2006, 17:28

got minimum.. ouch.. This game will rock though

mattthegamer463 · 24th Jul 2006, 17:31

For the first time ever my PC has been beaten by the minimum requirements. Like, FEAR came close, but this has butchered my PC. Mine would crash during the installer if I tried to play this game. Good thing I'm doing a full overhaul in January, then I can play!

I don't think we can call this quite "official" as of yet. From what I've heard, Crysis-Online is a Crytek Endorsed Fansite. And the post was a "educated guess" from an admin on that site. Ie. Not from a Crysis developer.

Looks like the website is down due to traffic, which would go in line with the idea that it's a fansite.

Doesn't mean the specs aren't accurate though. Only time will tell

Wow is this the first game that recommends Dual core? This should be optimized hard core for multi threading.

BoomAM · 24th Jul 2006, 17:53

I'd imagine that the second core would be used for the physics processing, for the fancy effects seen in the videos.

Apart from my video card, my PC is just over the recommended spec. However, i'd imagine that 2Gb ram/X2 3800/whatever the top gfx card is at the time will play it fine & dandy.

K.I.T.T. · 24th Jul 2006, 18:16

wow, its kinda depressing when the minimum requirments for a game reads like the spec for your best rig (sig rig in my case).

PA!N · 24th Jul 2006, 18:24

Recommended Specs:

* CPU: Dual-core processor (Athlon X2/Pentium D/Core 2 Duo); NO
* GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX / ATI Radeon X1800XT (SM3.0) or
directX10 equivalent; NO
* RAM: 1.5GB; YES
* HDD: 6GB; YES
* Internet: 512k+ (128k+ upstream); YES
* Optical Drive: DVD; SURE
* Software: DirectX 10 with Windows Vista MAYBE

Sadly my rig doesn't quit match the high specs...BUT I think I might have upgradind to Conroe by releas (If I dont get a macbook)
This game will be a killer

Kasrkin Guard · 24th Jul 2006, 18:34

Anyone notice the site that is linked is down???

wharrad · 24th Jul 2006, 19:27

Hoping it'll work on the slight overclocked 2.13Ghz Pentium M I'm using for a media/gaming machine... The rest of the specs are alright - although the 7900 GPU is close.

Got to think though in a living room gaming environment, the screen is only 1280x768 (or 1280x800, I forget)... So it's not to harsh on the GPU anyway.

DougEdey · 24th Jul 2006, 19:30

I want to know WHEN DX10 cards are out and WHICH cards they are!

Fr4nk · 24th Jul 2006, 19:55

* CPU: Dual-core processor (Athlon X2/Pentium D/Core 2 Duo); Kerching
* GPU: NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX / ATI Radeon X1800XT (SM3.0) or
directX10 equivalent; Kerching
* RAM: 1.5GB; Soon to be 2gb for me
* HDD: 6GB; Yesh
* Internet: 512k+ (128k+ upstream); Yesh, suck on 10mbit/384kkbit

* Optical Drive: DVD; Well duh
* Software: DirectX 10 with Windows Vista Probably

On the borderline for reccomended, so I'm reasonably happy

zr_ox · 24th Jul 2006, 20:16

Recommended 1.5

and the rest of the spec's

I just cant do it captain I dont have the power!

Well maybe its time to get 4GB of these badboys for my next rig.

ou7blaze · 24th Jul 2006, 20:36

Athlon XP 2500+ @ 2ghz
ASUS A7n8x deluxe
Radeon 9800 Pro
2x 256mb DDR RAM
Can you feel the power of my rig???

No, not really, I can JUST about play Battlefield on LOWEST settings, overclocked, *sigh*.

DeX · 24th Jul 2006, 21:52

No, the specs don't suprise me at all. In fact I don't even bother looking at today's bleeding edge games as their specs have always been miles above the level of my 4.5 year old AthlonXP 1900 and GF4. Still can't wait for the game to arrive though!

The physics engine is done using one of the two CPU cores, I'd reckon
