Precisely. It's a well written game that ran fairly well on the hardware of the time, but only in sensible settings, not max.
I'd be amazed if anything less than 8800gtx SLI gives good performance on ultra high settings in Crysis, but time will tell.
Crytek have claimed that Crysis will be the best looking game for three years after release. They've said that there are elements to the engine that won't be accessible by hardware for a long time.
When asked what is the most necessary thing to run Crysis reasonably the developer immidiately replied with "2GB of memory". Due to the massive amount of space and things going on. He said that an E6600 will run it at very high settings very nicely, when paired with an 8800GTS.
I've read the PC Gamer article on Crysis and now I have an urge to spend £1,000 + on a new PC closer to the time of release..
Just out of interesst, would I be breaking the law if I scanned the article and posted it on here?
(It's really good, and has made me feel sick with excitement.)

Please bear in mind the "ultra settings" they will be talking about are the graphics otions with sliders and stuff. I'd imagine they mean with that spec you can put all the sliders to max and textures to very high etc and it'll play fine.
The whole it'll look better on machines in the future is when you start fiddling with the advanced graphics options, like setting the tree draw distances to max and things like that.
So yeah, i imgine their definition of ultra settings will be pressing the escape button mid game, going to the graphics options and turning everything on full. There'll still be stuff to enable to make it look a load better in the future.
hey guys i will be buying a new rig just for crysis, what i want to know is will crysis run faster on vista 64 than on vista 32?
i know many ppl choose v32 over v64 because of compatibility problems but if crysis runs faster on v64 by even 5-10fps then im going v64. does any1 know if it will run faster??

im looking at dual booting xp32bit and vista ultimate 64bit 
think i might buy a raptor but i fancy solid state.
question: if i DB as above, can i access xp's files on vista and vice versa, or should i use another hdd for mp3's and videos and perhaps games ?
IM not into all the raid malarky, but if i can share files around the hdd's then a 36gb solid state would be nice for vista

e6700 @ 3.2 8800GTX 4gb ram
if it doesn't run at 1680x1050 maxed out with shadows i'm going to be annoyed, i've built this computer to cope with crysis and beyond so it's a lot of money for something that doesent give me ALL the eye candy in dx10

Yeah, I'd be hoping for much of the same. Crytek have said that memory will be the main issue, and I think you'd be sorted in that area. They've also said that an E6600 will run Crysis at Ultra, again your sorted. They also recommended an 8800GTS, so again, you're sorted. I can understand being annoying about not being to run it at absolute max.
