I no belive that....

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

AGREED. I can run crysis maxed out but only at around 25-30 fps. Its definitely smooth and playable at this but obviously 60 fps would be better

Its been shown on various t'internet tech site articles that having >2gb makes absolutely no difference to Crysis' frame rate what so ever.

My 8800GTX got 12 frames per second in Crysis.

Took GTX 280 SLI to play it properly

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

And my 'manhood' is bigger than Godzilla!

Looks like im in for an interesting experience when i get it! :rolleyes:

refuse to upgrade PC though, too much monies

My 8800 GTX wasn't enough for Crysis at 1680 x 1050. 4890 does the job but only on High (not Very High) I think, except maybe shaders.

OP IMHO your 8800 GTX will not play Crysis on High at 1920x1200. Crysis is FAR more graphically intensive than the COD games (even the latest). And yes we are talking about a 2007 game - this is why they still use crysis in many benckmark tests.

cheers

out of interest (nott rying to be clever, just intrigued) in what way will it 'not' play at full settings?

If you try and run at full settings on your machine it will not play in the sense it will only manage about 12 frame per second.

It's a very very demanding game.

If that I reckon. It will probably be a slide show

Crysis is very scalable in my opinion. On my old 7800GT + E6600 i got 4fps on High (DX9) 1680x1050 in the benchmarks and 70fps at 800x600 on Low settings (looks poor)
My 8800GT upped the DX9 High to about 27 average FPS @ 1680x1050 (not quiet playable)
My current setup (i7 4Ghz + GTX 295) can only just handle max settings at 1920x1080 with the odd sub 30 fps scene.

I don't tend to use AA as it very demanding for this game but one thing I did notice was that Crysis (Warhead) at 1920x1080 looks pretty good even on minimum where fps can go 100+

Main point is a half decent PC can run crysis well so just buy it and play it

Can always play again when you upgrade...

ahh fair enough. nothing wrong with playing a game powered by MS PowerPoint

and i'll be going to Tesco to see if they have it in stock when ive finished all my assignments. i should have bought it when it came out!

Leeum · 22 Jan 2010 at 15:23

awwww bloody tesco have put their price up again

Heretic1322 · 22 Jan 2010 at 15:50

I bought Crysis and Warhead from steam when they had a deal on for about £10

It is a good game, but there are many better ones
