'Official' Crysis Requirements

i cannot give you the source of the demo, but its definitely a demo (beta final).

1.5 gigs is quite a lot for a demo.

In any case, its playable with the 7800GTX @ WUXGA with low-mid settings.

the 7800GTX is about par with the 7900GS, which is also about par with the 8600 GT.

 

I thought it was 7800GTX>7900GS>8600M GT. Was it a beta or a RC?

 

will a 7950 gtx run crysis on high Gophn?

 

At high resolutions of course the card is going to strain, how was performance when you lowered your resolution to 1280 x 800.

 

I hope a Go 7950GTX can run this game on med-high (mostly high) settings at 1440x900...

 

those three cards 7800gtx, 7900gs, 8600gt are all very close.

obviously they arent the same card, but they are all going to give similar performance.

 

As long as I can play Crysis at 1280 x 800, ill be happy.

 

Yes, could you possibly tell us what FPS you get with a lower resolution? Something like 1280x1024? On medium settings? Low settings?

Thanks for being a guinea pig.

 

Could you at least hold your judgment until the game is released?

 

Im with you 100 %, why is there no hype for Quake Wars, or UT 3, or anything else, why is Crysis soooooo damn important.

 

I believe these will be the minimum and recommended requirements:

Minimum:

2.0ghz CPU Single Core/Any Dual Core CPU
1gb RAM
6400/7400/X1300/8400/HD2400

Recommended:

3.0ghz CPU Single Core/2.0ghz Dual Core CPU
2gb RAM
6600/7600/X1600/8600/HD2600

The video cards posted refer to the desktop versions.

 

So what your saying is that i could run it?

 

Probably.

Anyways, Crysis has been delayed till November.

Hopefully they will do some more optimization.

 

No. I've played it. As I said, it's not that great. It's fun, just all all shooters, but it gets old after a while.

 

So what you're saying is that Crysis is pretty much like Farcry and nothing new except for the beefed up DX10 Cry Engine 2?

 

Looks like it will be coming out Nov. 16th:

What you played is not what people will be playing November 16. It has been shown time and again that a "beta" or whatever else doesn't necessarily represent a final product in terms of gameplay, fun or any other aspect.

I do have similar views on this game and its predecessor, but hold off judgment of the entire product until a final release is out.

 

Meh. I don't like shooter that much anyways

 

The power struggle and multiplayer seems interesting. You capture factories and way points which allow you to purchase vehicles, equipment, and weapons. You buy these things by earning prestige by performing tasks which involve more than just killing and you even upgrade ranks. Seems kickass.

 

Crysis...top game on everyone's list so it seems.

 

agreed. Im more excited for the multiplayer experience than the single player.

 

Meh. I guess you could be right. Actually, I hope you're right. Keep in mind, I only played an hour and half of the game in single player. It felt like any other shooter (kinda like Halo is what I felt). I'm hoping that the multiplayer will be good (didn't test that out). From other posts, I get the understanding that you can increase rank. Anyone know if this means BF2 style where you can unlock new weapons, etc?

 

How well will the comp in my signature run the game do you guys think?

 

Quite well I'd say. At least med settings.

 

i don't think anyone should say anything until the official specs are out. It's not good to lead people with false information. There are tons of people who are planning to build their PC's for this game as soon as they know what it will need.

 

Way to be a party pooper.

 

sorry, but it can't be helped - I wish they had my favorite smiley

 

im hoping it will handle it at max settings including AA etc. Would this be possible?

 

impossible to say. also depends on how you quantify "max" settings. it will probably do the max dx9 settings with aa depending on the resolution used.

 

In DirectX9, the 7950 will shred Crysis. It won't be able to do DirectX10, but the differences are minimal from what I have seen. I'm going to assume that I have just seen videos in low resolution and the DirectX10 candy is at a much more miniscule level.

I'll be looking at the terrain, shadows and the small maps. I'm going to assume the differences are there.

 

do yall think the 8600m gt is also strong enough for crysis??

The 8700M GT, from what I've seen, handles Crysis very well. The 8600M GT shouldn't be too far behind.

 

the stock 8700m gt does well. you can OC the 8600m gt a lot (approaching 8700m gt), if it comes down to it.

 

7950GTX should be able to play max on a decent resolution if crysis hasn't been coded poorly. Crytek did a good job with Farcry in its ability to play on all sorts of video cards from low end to high end and still looking great.

I don't know if 8600 GT will be able to max it out, maybe on a lower resolution, but it should still look great.

I think crysis, like farcry, will just be one of those games that look great on even low settings but spectacular on high.

I guess right now only time wil tell but if i had to guesstimate, those are my expectations/guesses.

 

From what ive heard, the X1400 will be able to play crysis on LOW SETTINGS!!! So you go from there... The X1600 is twice as powerful, then the X1800 is twice as powerful as that, and the X1950 is almost twice as powerful as the X1800. So i would say... In DX9, max settings, 1280X800 AAx2. Just my estimate.

 

Is the increase in the video cards THAT dramatic? I've always known there was a large difference, but...WOW

 

Sounds like crazy talk to me, but I hope you're right

 

the differences between the different levels (entry, midrange, high end) tend to be pretty significant, but those with high end cards often run games at resolutions twice as high as lower range cards. keep in mind that 1280x800 is less than half of the resolution as 1920x1200.

 

It's pretty hard to tell at this stage, but as an educated guess: I hope to run it at 1280x800, 2xAA (which in my experience, looks perfectly fine), and mostly max settings except maybe cut the shadows down a bit. I've noticed that soft shadows tend to destroy performance for very little gain in image quality, particularly in fast-paced games.

In FEAR at 1280x800, 2xAA and soft shadows disabled (everything else at max) I average 84 FPS. If I can get even half of that in Crysis, I will be one happy camper. Another way to look at it: an 8800 GTX can (presumably) play it at 1920x1200, 4xAA, max settings. The 8800 is (very roughly) twice as powerful as the Go 7950 GTX, so if you halve the resolution and halve the AA, and it should be playable on half the video card.

 

Thats interesting! But the 7950 gtx isnt a dx10 card but is the best dx9 card on laptops so shouldnt it run flawlessly on a d900c single card at any rez and most settings max since it would be in dx9 mode? Im just throwing it out there

 

midnitdragon, yeah. I mean, D900C isn't even a laptop. It's a desktop, no matter what anyone says. It's a weakened desktop, because it has a desktop processor but notebook GPU. It's just like a Micro-ATX computer

I can't believe you guys are already thinking about Crysis... I'm just getting into the games I've missed over the past five years. Just got Painkiller Black Edition, and loving it.

 

The type of shadowing that cysis used compared to FEAR is no where near the same, and by the looks of it, you can probebly turn down, or turn off shadows, but not make them less soft.

Oh and, a single Go 7950GTX isn't half the speed of any 8800 card, even my desktop's 320mb 8800gts is faster than 2, 512mb go 7950GTXs in SLI. about 20% faster actually. And not to mention it will be full DX10, whether the graphics are cranked up or not, DX10 should optimize my card for even better performance.

Here may be another way to look at this, even though we can't tell for shure how well your PC will run crysis, it looks like this. crysis's physics are far superior to oblivion, and will thus use more CPU power, it's graphics also look roughly 5x or more complex per frame. Now how does your pc run oblivion? just think of it as several times less fps. ( really not a very good comparison but whatever! )

I seriously don't think that this game will be easy on your hardware, and I'm thinking that even an 8700mGT will get under 15fps at maximum settings.

 

The eye-candy in Crysis and Far Cry is made possible by the incredible engine the game has. Essentially, the 7950 should be able to almost shred Crysis DX9.

 

hey as long as it runs on 2 x HD2900XT's with 1GB GDDR 4, ill be happy. maybe ATI will come out with something new by the time i build my desktop. i missed a whole generation of desktop GPU's so im ready to get back in the game. oh and if the 8800gts is 20% faster than 2 x Go 7950GTX's, that is one solid card.

 

It's all going to depend on the resolution. I have one of the fastest CPU's and GPU's but I don't expect to run it on high settings, except at 1024x768.

We're all guessing until we see it and run it. We should just wait and see.

 

I think all has been covered here, so:

yes, now all we have to do is play the waiting game...

 

Surprisingly i have thought about how the enviorment is similar to Oblivion! My laptop runs Oblivion max settings give or take a few settings. Im guessing Crysis is more simple than Oblivion since its just a FPS while the other is a FPS 3rd person RPG with huge worlds and lots of different AI processes going on.

 

but see direct x 10 was "SUPPOSED" to make everything look way better without a performance hit, so we shall see, we can just assume but thats gets us running around like a dog with ADD chasing its tail...these patches and demos cannot be taken seriously at this point, they were not built on direct x 10, but it was implemented into them, two totally different things, you cant just stick a rocket on a car, the rocket has to be built into it(best analogy i could think of at the time so cutt me slack)

 

Hey how will crysis run on my system below? (except the 512mb obviously!)
