Chaz

 

Ouch, alot of people will be disappointed.

 

Lets see....

I meet the CPU
I meet the GPU (sort of) X1600 256mb with SM 3.0
I meet the RAM ok, I got 1gb, but will be getting another gig soon.
I meet the HDD, wow 6gb's.
I meet the internet 1.5mbps down 384k up.
I got a DVD drive
I got DX9c, I guess thats fine.

Im guessing medium settings on my rig.

 

he claims to have them from the official site, but on http://www.crysis-game.com, no info at all is given, where does he get it from?

 

Thats not the point, the point is that after seeing screenshots and videos of the game, those system specs are **** surely gonna be needed.

 

Theres quite a few sites, http://forums.filefront.com/showthread.php?t=265280 http://www.crysis-online.com/Information/System Requirements/index.html

 

I wouldn't even think about running Crysis on a laptop unless I drop at least $2500-$3000 on a system. A game like Crysis deserves to be played in all its glory.

 

Meh, medium would be fine for me, lol

Best Game of all time?

 

thank you for the link, i believe it now.

the reason i asked for the source is because lots of people allways exaggerate what is going to be needed to run a promising-looking game, so i have become very sceptic to things like that.

 

I have never in my life seen a game like Crysis in the vids and screenshots.

Its definetly the first of its kind with next gen graphics.

Not even Oblivion or F.E.A.R.

 

USA im shure you'll have a blast

 

Surely, lol

 

Boy am I glad I have the 7900GS. I will probably have to upgrade to Merom and 2 gigs just to run this game smoothly.

 

with 2gb Id say med-low...now I love my x1600 in allits wonderful glory. No matter how beefy it is, next gen will struggle with it. Im sure 1024x768 at med-low settings AA turned off. Let us know when you get it loaded.

Oh and Id love to be proved wrong as that means Ill be able to play

 

scriccs looks like your cpu will be fine,but i'm guessing it will need that 2gig of ram.

 

Hmm, you never know

 

So is this the first game that is asking in the 'Recommended' section for a duel core cpu?
Wonder how the old single core centrinos are going to cope?

 

I think so...I hope I can go to merom cause that would be nice

 

Hopefully it'll come out for the 360 or ps3, otherwise I hope the integrated graphics on this 4 year old Sony Vaio laptop with 512 mb ram and directX6 will run it on at least ultra high with AA and HDR.

 

What!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you smoking something?

 

Looking forward to playing that. It'll prolly have to be on the M90 for a while until I get my desktop built. I'm planning on building a nice Desktop sometime next summer or fall with Conroe and a DX10 card and Vista. I'll have to upgrade the M90 to 2 gigs first, but I plan on doing that anyway. But I thought everyone was saying that DX10 games wouldn't work on DX9 systems unless there was a port. I wonder if this means there are two different versions of the game included or that all we've been hearing is false?

 

Im still guessing ill run medium since the recommend are probably needed to run high and the x1600 has SM 3.0 and is pretty fast...



Do you think my desktop with an Athalon XP @ 1.53ghz, 768mb RAM, and a 9600 256mb will run it? LOL

 

ummm...No *quickly hides the blunt*

 

More chance than a 4 year old Vaio! directx6 and all lol

 

If i can upgrade to merom with 4mb cache, and when I get 2gb Im sure Ill be fine. otherwise Ill save for the 2.33 yonah....Im sure that will more then fit the bill.

 

I'm wondering this as well . . I'd rather not be forced to upgrade . .

 

The more I look at this game, the more I am amazed. I was a big fan of Far Cry and knew that the engine had some power. It looks like Far Cry on steriods and caffine. Release date is next year, anyone know the official date if there is one?

BTW it makes HL2 and Doom3 look average lol.

 

i've only seen screenies and vids (both which are AMAZING), but if it's recommending dual-core, are we to assume it's making use of both threads? because that'd just be amazing to see a full-featured game finally make use of these two cores.

 

ahh yes now i see why i payed $4,500 for my xps m1710 - to play games like this beast!!

 

Oblivion was the first game to truley use multi-threaded computing, it is the future since the future is multi-cored cpu's. A game like Crysis is definitly going to be multi threaded.

All my specs surpass the recommended, excpt for the one that really counts. I mean is a Go 7400 equal to a desktop 6600? Its times like this where im glad I splorged for the 2.16GHz Cpu, and for the 2gigs of RAM, but I so wish this thing had a 7600 in it. I dont think I will be buying it, since the minimum specs for games are if you want to run them at 3fps (Oblivion), Ive been planning to buy a new notebook after my warranties expire, which is 3 years. But buying a new powerhouse notebook while going into my senior year of college seems iffy. Well good luck to all of you that are planning on playing it, I guess Spore will be my poision while you guys play Crysis, both look like amazing games though.

 

Crysis will run in my acer?? I only have an x700 with 64 megas. I think in low low resolution

 

An x800GTO is way better then a X700 mobility so I wouldn't be banking on even running in on low settings...

In my desktop, I barely meet the requirements - 3.4ghz, 1.5 gb of ram is ok enough it seems but my X800 card barely scrapes in the min requirements.

As for my laptop, My Pentium M 1.7ghz and 6400 128mb card aren't even going to get past the loading screens it looks like

That said, I'd never attempt to play Crysis on anything but high end hardware, what would be the point? Far Cry was a good game but a large part of it was about beauty. I wouldn't have bothered with Far Cry if I could have only run it on all low settings, just wouldn't have been fun.

 

well they were talking about multithreaded games early last year. I would be affraid to make a game like that cause then our single core friends cant play well...if at all.

 

My lappy should run her but the desktop im not sure
dell xps 3.4ht 2 gigs of 667 and a 7900gtx, i would think it could handle it only problem is the single core

 

yeah it is single core, but the HT means it can handle multiple threads at the same time. Granted a dual core will work better, but HT chips def. help in multithreaded apps.

 

Hyper-Threading does help if you have a Pentium 4.

Quake 4 has a patch that enables SMP - the game can use how ever many processors in your system. A dual-core CPU can give up to an 87% performance increase; HT gives about 25%.

 

a p4 3.4 isn't that slow anyway.

 

compared to a core duo it is . But they will still do for gaming...mine did til I gave it to my wife 2 weeks ago

 

Anyone think it will be out for Christmas? Only thing Ive seen for a release date is Q4 2006. Id like to get a better idea when its coming out.

 

what about the ageia physx card? will it make use of it on desktops or is it just using the second core to do the phyics calculations?

 

AGEIA's PhysX is better used as a filler under your table's loose leg. I seriously doubt Crytek will implement physics support. In the future, maybe... but that's a pretty far future, IMNSHO.

Me, the day Crysis is released I'm buying a X6800 with X1900XTX + CrossFire. I've been saving for two years for a new desktop. That *should* cut it.

haha ... It will be on Xbox 360 too and I can't wait!

 

No, it won't. Crytek said it was PC only.

 

WoW! I guess I won't be able to play such a wonderful game on my E1505 with 256mb X1400

 

I wonder how the game would run on my 256mb 6800 Ultra?
(considering that all the other specs are fine)

 

Is it 64-bit only? All the CPUs it mentions are 64-bit ones? (even the minimum)?

 

i very much doubt it will be 64-bit only. a 2.8 northwood is not 64-bit and complies with minimum spec. if it were 64bit only, they would probably say so.

 

Crysis is not 64-bit. It wouldn't help them much even if it was 64-bit, considering virtually no one has a 64-bit operating system.

However, Crysis will supposedly benefit from a dual-core processor - I imagine it is multithreaded.

 

That is what I have heard, as well. Others were concerned that it would require DirectX 10, but that too is unfounded.

Consider that all we have seen so far, including real-time gameplay, runs on a DirectX 9 system, supposedly powered by a *single* X1900XT (though this is another rumor: Crytek never released that kind of info officially, AFAIK).

take a look at these reference shots.

Well rumors are now that Crysis will be released for the Xbox 360, very little info is known.
