Hey guys I finally got a copy of crysis and I cant stand how s***ty it looks on my old pc, so really I want to know what spec machine using XPsp3 could run it at full detail with at least 30fps.

Also Im already up to the core level where the guy goes "im heading into some kind of chamber, what is this place" and im stuck in there.. where the hell do I go?

oh i didnt know mutts that are ducks are pc's

you could probably spend as little as $700 for a machine to play crysis these days

$1000 buys you a nice dual core box with a few extras

dualcore 3g
decent mobo
2 gig of ram
1 x hd (although they are so cheap, buy two and raid them)
1 x 8800gt = cysis happy time

although if you want to play crysis, time to ditch xp so you can take advantage of directx 10

Ahah whatever. All those extra DX10 'features' can be turned on in DX9 anyway, it's been discussed to death in the past.

yeah plus you lose performance under DX10 as well...

Spend a tiny bit more and get a 9800GTX card. When I tried playing crysis on my old 8800GTS it ran like a two dollar hooker.

got any links with comparisons orbs?

i had a quick look around and couldnt find any (for cysis anyway)

bioshock there was no performance loss for directx 10

would it be worth while going SLI?

For Crysis, sure.

Honestly you're better off toning down the detail, play the game through and be done with it. It's a waste of money upgrading for such a s*** game. You'll be lucky to get 1 weeks worth of gaming out of it.

gotta agree with Step...

it looks great, but it's a pretty average play.


I wouldn't waste the money on sli

I enjoyed the 3 days or so I leisurely finished the single player in, but ya.

I'm still waiting for mechwarrior legends :/
