Impossible to say as the games not finished yet, so no one can say how well it will run, everyones just guessing, all those saying yes it will run it fine maxed when its not even finished yet, please give me next weeks winning lottery numbers.

I hate to burst your bubble, but your graphics card is physically incapable of DX10. Its not a matter of performance. You should be able to run it reasonably high on DX9.
NOTHING will run Crysis maxed: Crytek have gone on record saying the game is designed to make a computer built 3 years from now sweat its cogs trying to run it maxed! The game is mainly a tech demo for their new graphics engine, and that graphics engine has been built with future technologies in mind as well.
That said, yours will run it better than mine!
yea, same as far cry really.
High is only a setting, think of it like this, whatever your rig plays it at, it will look a hell of a lot better than anything else you play right now, it might not be on high, but itll look better than any other games high..
Everyones speculating and confusing each others idea of "maxed". Some think maxed is all the sliders on full, where as others know the max is every single option in the configuration editor switched to its fullest graphical ability... which will slow down any current and shortly upcoming system. Same as enabling the max settings in far cry will slow down a rig of that spec at the minute.
However, i'd be highly confident in that rig running the game with all the sliders set to "high" or "ultra high", without having touched the configuration editor.
We may not even care how it runs if it doesn't turn out as good as we hoped....

^^ Doesn't bother me at all
Yeah, I remember them saying just how easy it was to bring an 'uber' system to it's knees with the new engine.
Don't bode well for me though, medium settings F T W!
Is this just a case of poor coding from Crytech though?
I mean something like Fear was crippling in places for many a PC but didn't look much better than Half Life 2.
Okay, this is Crysis and this is on DX10... ground breaking and all that... etc...etc...
But surely if they're developing this game engine on current hardware and it wont run... it's just shoddy coding.
Hell if I did that in my job and said to my boss "don't worry the code grinds the server to a halt... we just need to buy a new server or wait a year or two and it'll run smoothly..." I'd probably get smacked up side the head!

No, you are wrong.
Your example isnt applicable, Crysis wont grind a decent system to a halt, because you can change its settings.
It will be like Far Cry, in the sense that there wasnt really anything to run it with all the frills on for AGES after release.
Just because they CAN bring a system to its knees doesnt mean they will, it just means the game will be better looking as time goes on.. much like Far Cry did?
Its not shoddy coding, its good coding, in the sense that they have coded features in that only future hardware could support, or faster hardware than is currently available could run at an acceptable framerate.
Isnt that clever?

I accept that Far Cry was playable when it was released, and I was mearly going by the fact that many people presume Crysis will run like a dog.
However, I really can't see the point in making a game that wont be playable on its maximum settings for quite some time after its released.
When for all intensive purposes a game that is released next year could look nicer and play nicer than Crysis.
Why not spend an extra few months developing your game so that it looks beautiful and plays wonderfully on nearly all settings.
A good example of which would be Unreal Tournament. UT2004 still looks great today, and even when it was released you could comfortably play it on nearly any machine on very good settings!
I'm all for pushing boundaries and such, but it just seems silly to me to release a game that you can't play properly*
'Here's your game, but you can't play it with full details for 1 year.... At which point there will be newer games, probably graphically equal or superior that will play fine anyway.'
*by properly I mean max settings.
