CRYSIS - your hardware

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.

 

my pc cann't run it so iam updating soon

 

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

 

is 8800 GTX the same as 8800 GT ? or its another one ?

 

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it's outdated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...

 

Oh, also, ATI's new range is on 55nm technology instead of 65nm and 90nm

 

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.

 

9xxx cards won't be out until feb 08. the 8800gt doesn't cost much so go for it.

 

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
