Crysis settings

I know that Crysis isn't out yet, but can anyone tell me roughly how well Crysis will run on my computer? I'm debating whether or not to buy it.
2.0 Dual Core Processor
Ati x1600 256mb (64mb Bus Width...)
2gb ram

 

i dont know about that graphics card, but every thing else looks good

 

Hard to say for sure, but it'll probably run well on low-medium settings. CryEngine 2 is designed to be very scalable, so it will still look good even on older or weaker hardware.

 

On what I believe is to be the Crysis homepage there are estimated system requirements.

Minimum Requirements
CPU: Athlon 64 3000+/Intel 2.8ghz
Graphics: Nvidia 6600 or ATI X1600 - Shader Model 2.0
RAM: 1GB
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 256k+
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX9 with Windows XP / Vista

Recommended Requirements
CPU: Dual-Core CPU (Athlon X2 / Pentium D / Core 2 Duo)
Graphics: Nvidia 7800GT or ATI X1800XL Pro (SM 3.0)
RAM: 1.5GB+
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 512k+ (128k+ upstream)
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX9 with Windows XP / Vista

There you have it.

 

It seems like my computer has all of the recommended requirements except for one thing. I have a CPU of 2.4GHz. Is this a major problem or will I be able to run the game still on low or medium settings?

 

The 2.8 GHz refers to the old Pentium 4. A 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo is more than enough.

 

So even though it will be run on low-medium settings, it wont look like crap like most other games do?

 

Yes it is a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo but this is a new game. It can't possibly be refering to the old Pentium 4 can it? On a game like Crysis, med or low settings shouldn't be bad at all. My computer has 4GB of RAM and a 8600 GT video card. Does this combination still make it?

 

your graphics card is at the very minimum, so i wouldn't be surprised if it looked like 'crap', but then how do you define crap? lol it def won't look like the screenshots on gamespot

 

Having a minimum 2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo would be craziness - the only CPU's that would meet that requirement are the $1000+ desktop Core 2 Xtreme X6800 or QX6800 (2.93 GHz dual-core and quad-core, respectively). The Pentium 4 single and dual-cores were only recently (about a year ago) phased out in favor of the Core 2 Duos - so yeah, no worries on the CPU front. Any modern processor should be just fine.

The 8600M GT should be able to handle it on medium settings (again, this is all speculation since it's not released yet).

Crysis on low settings will look like the max settings of lesser games.

 

NO CRYSIS REQUIREMENTS HAVE BEEN RELEASED YET.

I'm just going to repeat that before everyone gets ideas that their computer will or won't run Crysis for sure and goes out doing something they may regret. I will say this, though: I'm fairly sure you'll be able to run it at a decent speed, but not maximum settings.

We won't know until Crytek releases some requirements. Everything you've read so far is a guess about the requirements. Far Cry was fairly scalable for most recent computers (at the time), so I expect Crysis will be, too.

 

Didn't they release the system reqs just a few days ago? Mabye I'm wrong and that was another fan estimate.

But according to the reqs listed on the first page of this thread, it said the minmum was an x1600. If that means desktop card, then you might not be able to run it at all.

 

We all know this is speculation but the tech specs posted on the first page are from people who work with Crysis. It may not be exactly right but it is very close if not straight on. Just google for Crysis system requirements and you'll get these same results. The only thing I wish is that Crysis would be released sooner.

 

Deff won't be running with DX10, but considering it can run in DX9, it's entirely possible you could run the game at lower settings. If you're asking because you are thinking of upgrading/buying something new, I suggest simply waiting a few months, until the game is actually out.

 

So does this mean my Go7400 wont be able to run it at all? Ive got core 2 duo 1.83 Ghz, and 1GB ram...

 

Entirely unknown really if it will or won't. I would take a guess and say it could run it in DX9, Lower settings.

To be honest though, no one can really tell you for certain till it is out.

 

To add to this . . .
CRYSIS ITSELF IS NOT EVEN OUT YET SO I DON'T KNOW HOW PEOPLE MAKE PREDICTIONS OF HOW WELL IT WILL RUN

 

No, they're not. Those requirements are from a fansite. The developers haven't said anything.

Chaz: I merely told him that I'd expect it to run decently given that his hardware is all fairly recent and Crytek was good about scaling the first CRY engine. It's not as big a leap as giving erroneous system requirements that indicate much more.

 

From my estimations, you will need at least a Pentium Core 20 Octo Extreme 40Ghz 40mb Cache processor, and a Geforce 36 39900CTX Ultra 4GB.

But don't take my word for it. Honestly just to restate, all we can do right now is guess and estimate how the game will run on whats expected of it. Nothing anyone has said here about it will run is for certain. Everyone could be way off.

 

Oh I know that - all we can do right now is estimate as posted. I think we can safely assume that the 8M series video cards will meet the requirements of the game and that most of the X1000/7-series video cards will too.

 

What the heck does that mean?

 

Here's a couple of thoughts - I'm sure they wouldn't develop a game that would only require the highest end cards (7800/X1800) and higher - it would also make sense from a business standpoint, like game developers making games for the PS2 consoles still, to make crysis playable on the most machines possible without sacrificing the game play. Hence, the question becomes what is considered playable - everything at max settings will probably require a high-end card and at a minimum, I'm sure it will still be pretty good.

 

looks like i should be able to at least run the game with my go 6600.

But will a 1.73 ghz pentium m be okay?

 

Also, I am wondering how much graphics memory to meet recommended specs. probably 512 mb recommended? or 256???

 

oh yeah, official crysis site!!

On those specs for the Minimum they may be a bit off because they compare the 6600 to the x1600. Now below is a comparison between the 6600 (desktop) and the x1600 mobility. You will see that as far as things go the x1600 will still edge out in front. Same goes even if its an 6600GS/GT so it is safe to say that the x1600 mobility will e able to run it if these specs are correct.

I was joking...I thought it was obvious.

 

Haha yea now that I look at it it is obvious.

 

My specs:

Core Duo T2400 1.83ghz
2gb DDR2 667mhz
ATI X1600 256mb dedicated

The memory on my GPU is 400mhz GDDR2.

My stock clocks: 450/370
My overclocked clocks: 499.50/400.50

Thats pretty much as far as I am willing to go.

On a side note since its 400mhz GDDR2 I don't plan on overclocking it anymore because it becomes very unstable very quick.

 

Neat, thanks for the link. I got a nice wallpaper from there for my desktop.

Although the Go6600's main competitor is the Radeon X700, the X700 lacks Shader Model 3.0 unlike the Nvidia chip. So that is probably why they compared it to the X1600. It's not a very fair comparison, I agree. The X1600 is a newer generation of card.

 

we all can't say what pc will and what pc wont run crysis very well, but based on these points ya all can take a guess how well your pc will run crysis:

Official Statement - An 8800GTX can max out Crysis including full AA.
Video - An 8800GTX played Crysis maxed @ 1920 x 1200 in its unoptimized state very smoothly indeed. The only slowdown occured when a building exploded and that was only for a couple of seconds.
Statement - A Crytek employee said his 7800GTX ran the game on "fairly high settings smoothly".
Statement - A Crytek employee said his X1900XT ran the game "with most settings on high smoothly".
Official Statement - anybody with a 6600/X1600XT or better will be be able to run Crysis.
Video - a video showed a French reviewing team playing the game's deathmatch alpha on medium-high settings with a 7800GTX (still unoptimized).
Video - a Crysis flythrough run in real time on an 8800GTX shows the game running very smoothly on max settings, and judging by the crispness, I would say that had a good amount of AA on it as well.

I know these are statements about desktop cards, but for a little indication: the "go 7900gtx" is slightly faster than a 7800GTX.
I think the "go 7950GTX" is slower than a desktop X1900XT, but i'm not sure about that fact. I dont know what notebook gpu is comparable with a 6600/X1600XT.

 

Any idea on relating this to 8700 or 8600 just an estimate?

I love this game @.@ if I can get it on a 8700 at 1600x1200 or whatever or ANY widescreen format I'll drool to death.

 

Haha I think the Crysis ones look more real than the real ones.

 

I second that.
At first I thought the right picture was more realistic.
But then I noticed the grass, and then I realized I thought wrongly .

 

All they need to due is turn down the HDR and add better detailed and random grass!

Anyways lets hope the demo will be out soon.

 

Oh... man... I hope it will run at all on my Ati X1400...

 

I know we are all praying for it to be playable on our machines!

 

i have a copy of windows vista ultimate shipping to my house just so i can see what the dx10 shader path looks like. i hope vista's dx10 path will be far enough along so that there is no performance difference between it and the dx9 path in xp...

 

I hope I can run it, if not I'm gonna have to build a desktop.

 

If things go like they are supposed to, the DX10 path should offer performance INCREASE over the DX9 path due to code optimization and such. It was planned that DX10 would provide: 1) An increased library of graphical effects 2) Increased optimization (I.E. better utilization of available hardware).

We have all seen a tiny bit of #1 lately, hopefully games like Crysis will add #2 at the same time.

 

i dont know if im more excited for crysis single player or multi player to be honest.
