Considering getting crysis

ViperZS · 16 Jan 2010 at 16:23

Morning Ladies

Im looking at getting crysis for my PC. I have no worries that my PC will play it, but what i want to know is:

If i just got the normal/first game, will i be missing anything than if i bought the 'maximum edition'? the main thing persuading me is the first edition is £9 and maximum about £25!

Cheers, Tom

Maximum edition has Crysis Warhead i think? So you will be missing out on the expansion.

Warhead is good compared to vanilla, get it.

Don't know how long it take before you receive it...as it says "Despatched: Within 1 to 2 Weeks"

I never order from Amazon. Play normally. Tesco is a go-er

its def worth it warheads pretty good imo

Your paltry 2gb memory and 8800GTX won't cut it at all though. You're better off getting a different game that you may be interested in.

Get 2Gb more ram and it'll be fine with a custom cfg.

Played Warhead great on my 8800GTS with 4Gb ram with a custom cfg (looked better than 'high' and ran better).

custom cfg mixture of medium/high settings you should be fine.

The 88800GTX will be fine, however another couple of gig of RAM would be a good idea.

I completed crysis when it was first released with only using a single 8800gtx and 4gb ram at 1920x1200

ViperZS · 17 Jan 2010 at 02:10

well im currently looking to upgrade my ram, just trying to find a good price

and i have no doubts of how my 8800GTX will perform

played all COD games fine all run on high. I know crysis will be more demanding, but i trust my PC

as soon as i get it, settings will be put to high and 1920x1200

widdyst · 17 Jan 2010 at 02:18

Dude i know your pc is a half decent spec but believe me it will not handle a maxed out crysis NO WAY !

ViperZS · 17 Jan 2010 at 02:21

fair enough

im still going to try it though

not because i don't believe you, I do.. just may as well see the limits of the system

Infam0us · 17 Jan 2010 at 02:25

No PC can handle Crysis on full settings ...

MoRT489 · 17 Jan 2010 at 04:30

It will run most/all settings on high provided u dont use AA. Adding 2GB ram would certainly help and OC the CPU to 3GHz+

A certain Jersey based etailer has Crysis: Maximum Edition In Stock at £24.99.

For me, I can run at 1920x1080 with full everything except Anti Aliasing, which anything over 2x just becomes a lagging nuisance. But I really didn't notice much of a difference between None and 2x especially considering the lovely motion blur, so I just run none because I get guaranteed 60fps all the time

I no belive that....

as even my SLI GTX 275 setup cannot run crysis with full detail settings anywhere near a guaranteed 60fps
