You, like everyone else in the world, is probably all hyped up over Crysis - but will your system be able to run it? Check the minimum and suggested system requirements to find out.

thankfully my comp should be up to the task, 12gb though almost as big as stranglehold :P

Shadow_101 · 10th Oct 2007, 09:24

I've got no chance.... bah... who needs anything more advanced than peggle for gaming anyway?

riggs · 10th Oct 2007, 09:38

Well, CPU and RAM-wise my machine is spot on. I'm running a 7900GTX 512MB too so I should be ok, will have to ramp down the resolution a bit though.

perplekks45 · 10th Oct 2007, 09:41

Not too new... err... news.

My GFX card is what is recommended? Yea, 1024 @ max should be possible, maybe 1280.

Leitchy · 10th Oct 2007, 10:01

I used Crysis as an excuse to overspend on upgrades for my computer, glad I did now!

steveo_mcg · 10th Oct 2007, 10:14

The CPU spec is that P4 equivalent? So an old s939 x2 4600 should be above minimum but below optimum?

Mother-Goose · 10th Oct 2007, 10:17

Jesus, that's impressive specs!

Delphium · 10th Oct 2007, 10:19

Thats quite a hog, though not as much of a hog as I was expecting it to be for such a game.
Surprised they listed the nvidia 6800 as a minimum spec card, and not the nvidia 7x00 series.

Mother-Goose · 10th Oct 2007, 10:20

I was half expecting 8800GTX as the recommended unit. This is good news

Darkedge · 10th Oct 2007, 10:24

thats not as bad as bioshock or stranglehold.
Cool.

quack · 10th Oct 2007, 10:25

Good thing I just upgraded then!

cjoyce1980 · 10th Oct 2007, 10:44

i assuming the recommended specs are to play the game the way it was designed too

Mankz · 10th Oct 2007, 11:23

So will an X800 run this @ 1280 x 1024 ??

Xir · 10th Oct 2007, 13:03

...how very open of them...

to specify an Intel only as "recommended system"

I just bought a few new parts yesterday to bring my PC into the new academic year since I've left it rather impotent over the last year. I got myself a C2D E4400, 2GB PC6400 RAM, an Asus P5K SE and a WD 400GB. Paired with the 8800GTS 320MB I bought a few months back, and a measly 17" screen with max. resolution 1280 x 1024, I think Crysis should be playable indeed

The purchase was mainly meant for The Orange Box first, though! Portal, TF2, EP2.. my first loves!

I think you should update your poor LCD and CPU to match with your 8800

Jordan Wise · 10th Oct 2007, 14:08

i have a 24" monitor, (1920x1200), is there any chance of getting it running with everything on max with ANY graphics card/sli solution before christmas?

I really doubt it. Perhaps, if you had a 8800 Ultra SLi setup with 4-8GB RAM, the speediest C2D on offer and matching components, you might stand a chance. But even then, I'd say that is a big perhaps.

I think I'll upgrade the monitor to a 22" when I have the funds to, seeing as most are 1650 x 1080 which won't put too much strain on the system. Processor wise, I think I'm fine and dandy for now since student funding means no Quad Cores for me

alastor · 10th Oct 2007, 14:34

I've only just managed an upgrade to a 6800

I hope minimum doesn't mean 640*480 and low everything...will have to wait and see
