    Was thinking about getting this game.
    However I went on a site that tells you if the machine will run certain games.

    It says I dont have enough GFX, saying it needs 600meg for best performance.
    I have 2 x 7950GTX's running SLi. Is it normal for sites such as this not to recognise SLi? Im just worried the game wont see it either?
    Im also running the very latest drivers.
    Any help would be great.

    Cheers.

    i would think you should be able to run the game pretty easy. i think crysis supports dx9 also.

    You should run all high. Very high using the DX9 very high tweak should work at say 1680 res :)

    Yeah, don't always take those sites very seriously. You should be fine.

    no he can't. i had the m9750 with 7950gtx sli and i could not run the game at high settings at all. he will be able to run the game in medium settings, though.
