Hey, I was wondering if I would need a DX10 card to play Crysis on high settings, or if my 7800gtx (DX9) would be enough to play on high.
that poor card will be fucked like a 2 dollar whore trying to run crysis on all high.
Given what has been promised, and the demos I've seen to date, that card of your won't even come close to powering that game on high settings at any resolution considered reasonable.
My guess is also that this game is going to need an impressive CPU, given the massive amounts of physics and AI involved.

thats what i figured. would i be able to play it on high with 2 of them in sli?
or should i just upgrade to say, an 8800gts/gtx (DX10)

Most likely not..
In order to play in High your probably gonna need a Quad Core CPU and at least a single 8800

Can a single 8800 even run it on high?
and that is putting it nicely!!!Marlboroman82 wrote:

hmmm a quad core? how about an amd 6000+ X2 (939)
by the way, when does crysis come out?

You guys are just taking the worst scenario. Surely there will be a choice, whether if u want to run dx 9 or dx 10. Same like when u play COD2, there is twice choices, either dx7 or 9. I am sure your card will handle that game.
Knowone disputes that, but on high settings it just wont work (well).rabee2789b wrote:

I didnt know crysis utilised multi core? Even then I think a dualy would still suffice, and a single 8800GTX should be able to handle it at a good spec, but I am not so sure about ultra high like 8800 owners have been getting used to these past five odd months. Could always overclock it and see how it fares
But to answer the ques, the 7800 will run it ok, but not at these demos quality. Novelty of ultra high wears off anyway, I'm sure it will be a good game but how it looks goes out the window in the grand scheme of things.

You either didn't read his post closely and/or have never seen the Crysis game play videos. He said he wanted to run it on high, and his card won't even come close to that. Crysis also has extensive physics and AI that will burry your CPU.rabee2789b wrote:

Apparently these are the System Requirements..
System Requirements
Processor: Athlon 64 3000+/Intel 2.8ghz
RAM: 768Mb/1Gb on Windows Vista
Video Memory: Nvidia 6600/X800GTO (SM 2.0)
DVD Only?: 1
Hard Drive Space: 6GB
Operating System: Windows XP / Windows Vista
DirectX Version: DX9.0c / DX10
Recommended System Requirements
Processor: Dual-core CPU (Athlon X2/Pentium D)
RAM: 1.5GB
Video Memory: Nvidia 7800GTX/ATI X1800XT (SM 3.0) or DX10 equivalent
Hard Drive Space: 6GB
Minimum? Even if its reccomended, its never the run high requirements they release, I did read though to get it going high smoothly you need a machine capable of atleast 10k in 3dmark06LT.Victim wrote:

One of the best sounding things about Crysis is that it actually takes advantage of all the new fangled CPU tech to run efficiently. It supposedly runs 10-15% faster (per thread) in 64-bit Vista. It is also supposed to be well optimised for multi core CPUs.
As for the GPU side of things, Crytek claim a 7800GTX is fine (according to Crysis Art Director, Michael Khaimzon) at fairly high settings and that a 1900XT plays it very nicely in relatively high settings (Jack Mamais of Crytek).
Ultimately it's hard to say. We just have to trust them, they're the ones who know.

well they tested in on 2 x 8800GTX in Sli and a Quad Core and that only just managed highhate&discontent wrote:

thats with aa off and aff off also.
If that's the test that was put up on VR-Zone (which it sounds very much like), that's fake.Zero!. wrote:

Yay, I meet the minimum system specs (except for the ram of which i got more...)

You can play Crysis on a DX9 card and on XP
But no matter you have 2 of the best DX9 cards, the true awesome beauty is in the DX10.

15 more years! 15 more years!
I like the news about the 64 bit vista... but I heard that on all high with AA and AF cranked, a 8800GTX could hardly scrape by with 3 or 4 fps..Bertster7 wrote:

Lets all raid the factory, 8800s for all! In all seriousness though, this game is really going to show who has a good and who has a great system (and ofcourse bad, ala urs truly ). I am trying to spec a machine for a mate who wants this game on all high but I cant for the life of me keep to his budget, when are these dam price drops coming in!

You guys are over exagerating that game, just because you have seen the graphics and think you need a million dollar computer to run it.
Although a DX10 game, many high-end, non-DX10 computers can run it just fine.
Here are the requirements:
Minimum Requirements
CPU: Athlon 64 3000+/Intel 2.8ghz
Graphics: Nvidia 6600/X800GTO (SM 2.0)
RAM: 768Mb/1Gb on Windows Vista
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 256k+
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX9.0c with Windows XP
Recommended Requirements
CPU: Dual-core CPU (Athlon X2/Pentium D)
Graphics: Nvidia 7800GTX/ATI X1800XT (SM 3.0) or DX10 equivalent
RAM: 1.5Gb
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 512k+ (128k+ upstream)
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX10 with Windows Vista
See? Not that bad at all. Those may not be the true requirements, but a 7800 could porbably run the game on medium high.
Beta keys are being released soon, same with the demo, so try and get a key, and get your hands on the demo to see how your computer can handle it.

Ryan is exactly right,
It will take a newer computer to run it well but you guys are saying you need a computer that doesn't even exist yet to run it perfect? Hell no.
It will run okay on a 7800GTX just not cranked. Im sure any dual-core cpu with just one 8800 will run it almost maxed out. (Keep in mind, when they constructed "CryENGINE2" DX10 wasn't even close to ready!

Built along side of, and will take full advantage of, yes.
Well they did plan Crysis to be a DX10 game, so they made the engine around the DX10 theory.pirana6 wrote:
