    I know this is a long **** but is there any way that crysis will be able to run on a
    T5300 C2D 1.73
    2Gb Ram
    Nvidia Go 7200 overclocked to 500/880 521mb

    I really want to play the game when it comes out but i dont think it will play even on the lowest possible settings. ?

    thanks guys

    My guess is no, Crysis won't run playably on that machine.

    No, although you have a strong processor and plenty of RAM, but graphic card kicks you off. Officially, Crysis will work on nVidia 5200, but that is a bull****, nothing under 7600GS won't be enough for playably experience.

    LOL, I was wondering that too. I have the same card as you. If a demo comes out, Ill probably download it and see what frames I get at the LOWEST SETTINGS and Resolution. I just want to see the destructible environments in action.

    lol thought it woudlnt be possible. Ah well i shall try it nonetheless :p im hoping i can hit 20fps with 640x480 with everything turned off.

    Lappy, how did you overclock your go 7200, im using riva and i find it starts artifacting after i push 550/900, and also does anyone know if its performing better than an go 7300 because its running at higher clocks and im getting a higher 3dmark05?

    thanks for your responses guys

    I guess it could work at the minimum resolution and settings, no?

    Where did you read that? The Fx5200 can't even run old games like Battlefield 2 on the lowest settings without choking up, I cannot being to imagine someone hoping to run Crysis on it....

    Here. Check post number #366. The information is copied from official site.
    As I said, this is ridiculous, maybe it is some kind of trick to sell more copies of game I guess. But I'm sure it cannot be possible to run game on this fossil of graphic card.

    There has been no official requirements released yet, so I'd say that's just someone speculating (wrongly, most likely, given the card involved). I know games like Half Life 2 showed that efficient coding can do wonders, but when the Fx5200 is unable to run games that are almost 2 years old now, I think Crysis is really out the window. That said though, I can't wait to see how scalable it is. I was playing Half Life 2 yesterday on my Go7400 - runs at high settings at 50-100fps and looks fantastic, and then you have games like Rainbow Six and Ghost Recon that are coded horribly and run at about 20fps on lowest settings. If only developers spent more time....Crysis should be the new Half Life 2 in terms of being hardware friendly.

    Yes, the HL2 was optimized for lower configurations. They delayed Crysis several time before, so I hope they worked hardly about this. It would be a shame that nobody can run it without 2GB + 7900.

    LoL, im hoping to get my X1400 working on it... which is highly unlikely, but a Go 7200.... most likely... no. But they may suprize us, like what they did with HL2. It will run on any machine, and still look good. So there still may be hope...very minimal, but still... a little.

    I oc'ed it with Rivatuner originally, and like you, I can push it to about 560/910. Thats with a cooling pad, and fans blowing on it, but with no air cooling, I can push it about 530/840.

    I would be willing to bet that the game would be playable, as long as you turned down all the settings to the lowest, and were willing to tweak your control panel settings/overclock your card/get modded drivers.
