[Steven W]

Over at Crysis online they've estimated the specs for running Crysis on the PC. These are unconfirmed.

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

Check out the estimated minimum requirements:

Ouch...mine just failed on the graphics front...

Mine will be ready for Crysis in a month or so, not that I'd play it but it's nice to know I could run such an immense looking game!

Ouch! Hopefully I'll have the cash to upgrade again by the time it's released.

Edit: http://uk.pc.gamespy.com/pc/ea-cryte...itled-project/ Wow that's an early release date, that can't be right, especially as Vista won't be ready by then..

That surely must be recommended requirements, or at least i hope so, otherwise, i'll only just be able to run it. Also does that mean that you will need vista to run it, because that makes it a very expensive game

[nichomach]

No, it will run on XP, just in DX9 mode rather than using all the DX10 bells and whistles. DX10's only going to be available for XP, and that's Microsoft's decision, not Crytek's.

Yep that's recommended, not minimum specs. Click on the link in the first post for expected minimum spec.

I'm thinking i'm going to need something more powerful than the x1800xt to pull good framerates at 1600x1200 - there's no way it'll cope as is!

But you know the rule, they may be the reccomended specs, but you should always take the reccomended specs to be the minimum if you want a playable experience

Vista isn't out until next year now, so neither will this - by then I will hopefully have upgraded my gaming box, preferably with one of the new powerMacs hehe

What happens if u dun have multi cored processor? :/.. my 3200+ still has alot of life in it.. 2.4Ghz is ample for anything now.. I would have thought it would be enough for things in the next year or so too...

Well.. I guess its not..

Uh sawyen... why don't you use the other system listed in your sig with the X2? :S

Same here, i game at 1600x1200, i doubt my PC will handle it. Rest of my PC im sure is fine, just need a better vid card, ill probly get a R600 when they drop in price in bit, and Crysis isn't due out till 2007, and Vista after that. Might even be worth waiting for the gen after R600/G80.

Yup - i'm pretty unlikely to buy a graphic card till the shiny new stuff appears this winter. Why bother with a DX9 part with this (and vista) on the horizon if you've already got a decent card?

Time to get a new wallet busting graphics card and processor.

[yamangman]

DX10's only going to be available for XP

Vista*

That system is reserved for my work..
