    Hey has anyone played Crysis on the 2.2 15" MBP. It says on the box that that the systems requirements are a 256 Graphics card. Will it even run on my GeForce 8600M GT with 128 mg?

    thanks

    Yes it will run it. But not at high res or maxed out settings. I'd say medium/low settings with the GT.

    It should run at low resolutions with low to medium settings. You may get away with high settings with shadows/shader units set to low.

    Don't expect it to look as pretty as they advertise it. You'll be disappointed.

    Wow...that was a lot of effort on your part to be a jerk. Does it really kill you that a duplicate question might have been asked?

    Sorry that you were offended. I hope the thread starter was not. You completely misinterpreted my post. I simply provided more information and resources. Perhaps the screenshot was too much, but in my defense I did use a smiley face! ;) :p
