Crysis with Geforce 8600gt gddr2

Hello,

I just ordered a znote 6224w with the specs:

Cpu: Core2Duo T7500 (2.2ghz)
Ram: 2x1024mb
GFX: Geforce go 8600gt gddr2 512mb

Is this enough to play crysis at low/mid settings?

 

Definitely.

 

Yes. The 8600GT should handle Crysis with no issues.

 

Oh man, sweet. I wondered the same thing but I always forgot to ask.

 

Cool, also will my notebook be like futureproof for the next 3years?

 

It's impossible to say for certain what type of settings your notebook will be able to run Crysis at. However, I think it is safe to say that you should have no problem with at least medium settings and resolution.

Probably yes. 'Futureproof' is a difficult term to analyze.

 

there is no such thing as futureproof. anyone who tries to sell u something as futureproof is pretty much lying to u

why? cuz no1 knows what the future holds. u can predict but u cant guarantee

 

You'll absolutely be able to run Crysis. I bet you can run it at high settings without a problem. As far as "futureproof"... there's no such thing. But you should be able to run most games for 3 years, if that's what you mean... especially if you only want to run them at low/med settings, as you indicated in your first post.

 

Its a demanding game but the hardware listed is equally giving in terms of performance. I would, like everyone else says, expect it to run on medium if not high on some settings. Really tweaks your system beforehand to get the max from your laptop.

 

yes, it can handle Crysis at Low and Medium settings. It's a direct x 10 graphics card as well.

 

Recommended Requirements

CPU: Dual-core CPU (Athlon X2/Pentium D)
Graphics: Nvidia 7800GTX/ATI X1800XT (SM 3.0) or DX10 equivalent
RAM: 1.5Gb
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 512k+ (128k+ upstream)
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX10 with Windows Vista

from: http://digitalbattle.com/2006/07/23/crysis-system-requirements-released/

A 7800GTX is much faster than a 8600GT.

 

Those are not official requirements and are only speculation. Furthermore, you posted the speculated recommended. The speculated minimum are far less. I'm more than certain that the final requirements listed on that site (which is not the official site, by the way) will be even less.

 

Minimum Requirements
CPU: Athlon 64 3000+/Intel 2.8ghz
Graphics: Nvidia 6200 or ATI X1300 - Shader Model 2.0
RAM: 768MB on Windows XP or 1GB on Windows Vista
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 256k+
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX9.0c with Windows XP

Recommended Requirements
CPU: Dual-core CPU (Athlon X2/Pentium D)
Graphics: Nvidia 7600 or ATI X1600 Pro (SM 3.0) or DX10 equivalent
RAM: 1.5GB+
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 512k+ (128k+ upstream)
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX9.0c with Windows XP

 

Requirements for the game have not been released. I'm not sure where you guys are getting your information, but it's all speculation.

 

No its not speculation, those are the official game requirements (as of now) I posted.

 

would a 8600M GS be able to handle it at least medium?

 

i cant stand these questions, How will this card handle crysis? no1 knows how it will run because its not RELEASED. Ask questions about games that are out NOW until then no1 really knows the answer...just my 2 cents, wait for the game to come out then buy a laptop if your so concerned about it playing crysis.

 

the 8600gt definitely won't handle crysis on highest settings, LOL..

 

Well on the crysis forums, they're that crysis has so many settings that no consumer computer exists that will be able to play it at maximum everything settings. They also speculated that a 7600 should be able to play high, that's desktop I tihnk.

 

Won't GDDR2 be an issue maybe, I remember the GDDR2 6600s and X1600s were crippled by it, whereas the GDDR3 models were reasonable performers.

 

So your saying a 7600 can play it on high but 2x SLi 8800Ultra can't play it on ultra-high?

What do they got like DX10.1 stuff in there?

 

Look like you will be revising your order, Zepto are pulling the 2.4 & 2.2 CPU from the 6224, tell me I had a 2.4 version on order . But that being said, it still will cut the mustard with:

2.0 Dual core
4 GB PC 6400
Nvidia 8600GT 512MB
Santa rosa


those specs should breeze through GRAW2 (dx9) and Crysis (DX10) etc..

 

To all I thank you for all your replies .

@Viiiper
Yeah I heard but I still have hopes for the T7500. Because I heard it may be a bios issue.

 

Link? As I've said, they have not posted official requirements... ever. Unless those were just released they're not official.

Edit: Here's where you got those requirements from...
http://www.crysis-online.com/Information/System%20Requirements/
"Once again, these are estimates only and are no way official."

 

You forgot about this:

Last updated: June 11th

 

No I didn't. I'm aware of that, but they are still estimates, and are still not supported by the developers. When they say "based on official information" they're just going off of what Crytek has been running on in test demos, and what they've said about features supported.

Do you remember the first "estimated" requirements that site put out? They were INSANE. I do not trust fansites for requirements Wait for the official ones, trust me... you will be pleased.

 

Im sure it will run great, also the 8600 being a dx 10 card it should perform stuff more efficiently thus allowing more graphic card power to be used (that is what they claim dx 10 does besides adding eye candy)

also crysis which is based on a newer cry engine will be a very optimized game just like how farcry was...that game had the best graphics i have ever seen in a video game, the scenery and the water looked fabulous and surprisingly I could run it on mostly high settings @ 1024x768 with AA and AF off on my ati 9600 128 MB card. I was very surprised that my **** card could handle farcry. Based on what i have said above I reckon it will run great

 

the 8600gt is equivalent to what desktop graphics card?

 

Its probably equivilent to the desktop 8600gt , just dumbed down a bit.

 

I can't find my source at the moment, but the lead developer said in an interview that quite a few of the dev machines are running 7900 cards on high settings. I think that says quite a bit in itself. Granted, the 8600's are slightly slower than the 7900 in terms of raw power, but I still think you should be able to play it somewhere between middle and high.

Of course, to reiterate what has already been said, this is all speculation.

 

Well 7900 desktop, so that's way higher than an 8600 laptop. But the 8000 series is dx10 so hopefully that'll play into it some. And the game might not be opimized yet, so maybe you're right.

 

Admittedly, I sometimes forget to distinguish between laptops and desktops when it comes to gaming performance.

However, my point was that typically game developers (Crytek in particular) use higher end machines for development. The fact that they dipped down into the GeForce 7 pool at all was a rather shocking development to me. I was expecting it to push desktop 8800 GTX cards to the absolute max. And who knows, it may all be hype, and it may run like crap even on the uber high end rigs for the next few years. We'll all just have to wait and see.

 

Not in terms of playing the latest games. Only TWO years ago the mobile 9600 was upper midrange, but who would think of gaming on one now?

 

Well if they are testing Crysis on computers with those specs, and everyone is amazed by the results from those specs, should people be absolutely satisfied? I mean I think it looks freakin awesome, and judging by what you said, THEY even tested it on a less than perfect gaming system. So why worry?

SUB QUESTION: would even low Crysis settings look better than say Half Life 2 or Battlefield 2 on highest?

 

This is a four and a half month old thread based on speculation and old information. If you want to discuss Crysis, please do a search and post in one of our currently active threads.

 

well this thread is directly related to my current situation and is still relevant.

 

Posted some info and a link thats relevant to your questions in my thread about the crysis demo.

 

i love you

 

no... im playing the beta. expect to play low resolutions and low settings

 

Well on the crysis forums, they're that crysis has so many settings that no consumer computer exists that will be able to play it at maximum everything settings. They also speculated that a 7600 should be able to play high, that's desktop I tihnk.

lol, try a hardcore alienware, those can handle everything at high.

 

i call bull on that...which card/drivers u got? i have 8600 and it plays beta on 1280*800 all medium...
