    From what I hear, the 8600 GT gpu will run Crisis on medium settings. I assume that people are using the 256 GDDR3 version. Unfortunately my card is the 512 GDDR2 version. Will I still be able to run near the same settings? A few frames wont really bother me.

    Graphic card is only one factor in this game. Concrete, your 8600GT 512MB would run Crysis mostly on low/medium settings. But you'll need to have at least 2GB RAM and Core 2 Duo processor only to play this and to enjoy in it (on reasonable settings).
