I have recently purchased CRYSIS by Crytek, and was wondering what sort of grpahics card I should get to play it. My upgrade has been long overdue and I was wondering which graphics cards play it on what settings e.g. low, medium, high e.t.c. I have 1 gig ram and a 3.2ghz single core processor. I think those are ok.... Anyway please post what graphics cards you have and what setting you play it on. Thanks

Well i have an P4 3.0@3.3 single core (HT), 1G ram and a Ati HD2600XT, and i can run Crysis 1024*768 well, okey not in high but very playable in medium.
I have a Intel Q6600 Pro 2.4ghz quad core 4GB DDR2 Ram Nvidia 8800GTX 768mb Run's very smooth with crysis! also, if your good, my clan is recruiting
don't get the 8800 it's outdated either get something from ATI with the 3000x series (they are on par with nvidias offerings. But are better because of the amount of texture units, and they support DX10.1 instead of just DX10) or wait until 08 and see what nvidia has to come out...
I have a x850 pro modded to a x850 xt And I don't dare running crysis, I'm afraid my comp will explode lol.
haha I remember my x850xt shit burnt my hand one day, I still have the scar LOL if you go nvidia, gon't go anything over the 8800gt why?
Core 2 Quad 6600 @ 2.4GHz 2x1GB RAM 1160MHz GeForce 7600GT Windows Vista The game runs fine. Framerates never drop below 20fps but remain under 25. gonna get the 8800gt in a week. can't wait!!
Good. I'm looking to upgrade my computer as well but I think I'll wait a while until the Quad prices drop...
Having a 4Q right now just for games isn´t the best business, only a few games take advantage of 4Q (crysis is one of then).
I was reading that crysis doesnt run well with quad cores. Only dual core. I am thinking of getting a geforce 8800gt but the 9 serires is due soon so I might wait.
Go for a cheap car right now, just to play 1024*768 medium like an HD2600XT for $100, then em Feb08 sell it and buy an 8800gt or 9xxxseries
Quad core processors are worthless especially from AMD but even from Intel, worthless all Intel processors currently out are worthless. They are changing to a different LGA socket in Q1 of 08 If I was going to get a good multi-core processor right now, I'd go for an AM2+ socket motherboard with a cheap x2 athlon why? the future AM3 will be backwards compatible with AM2+ currently, the phenom processors that are out suck. Way too many bugs. AMD's stopped shipping them for awhile until they sort the bug which currently requires a bios fix, hardware side but in the future, they'll be bomb look up the "AMD Bulldozer"
also look out for the revised 8800GTS cards (based on the new G92 chipset). if you are planning to buy for the holiday season, wait for these cards to arrive.
the new 8800gts on the G92 chipset looks damn sexy imo http://www.gpureview.com/asus-extreme-n8800gts-512-g92-review-benches--pics-article-594.html but I'd still wait
