Brace yourself: Crysis system requirements released photo

Actually, the system specs aren’t nearly as bad as I thought they’d be. On the other hand, it looks like I’ll barely be able to run Crysis at all, and many of you will probably fall into the same category. Take a look:

Minimum System Requirements:
OS - Windows XP or Windows Vista
Processor - 2.8GHz or faster (XP) or 3.2GHz or faster (Vista)
Memory - 1.0GB RAM (XP) or 1.5GB RAM (Vista)
Video Card - 256MB (NVidia GeForce 6800GT or greater; ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (Radeon X800 Pro for Vista) or greater)
Hard Drive - 12GB
Sound Card - DirectX 9.0c compatible
Recommended System Requirements:
OS - Windows XP/Vista
Processor - Intel Core 2 DUO @ 2.2GHz or AMD Athlon 64 X2 4400+
Memory - 2.0 GB RAM
GPU - NVidia GeForce 8800 GTS/640 or similar

Before anyone has a hissy fit, remember that Crytek’s mission was to create “the most stunning, immersive FPS experience ever.” I think that they’ve accomplished that goal quite nicely. But at what cost to the player?

Give us the dirt, can you run Crysis or not?

[Thanks, David!]

Aside from the same only having a gig of RAM problem I have with Bioshock, it looks like I can run it with the recommended specs.

Not a chance I can run that. Wow, that pretty much seals the deal for me to not even bother with Crysis. The multiplayer gameplay looked rather generic other than the graphics. Unless the single player ends up being absolutely amazing, I can't see myself bothering with this.

I wonder how badly the game will age when everyone is able to play it 10 years from now.

I'm slightly above minimum in all the categories except memory; I hit rec. there.

Strike that, I didn't see the 8800 GPU at first. I can still run it at minimum though.

Nope I cannot. Most likely my video card is outdated.
and my processor is merely 1.8GHz.(but then again, I could play the Enemy Territory: Quake Wars Demo.)

However, my parents are thinking of buying a new PC, so...I might get a chance to play Crysis.

I don't know about the processor, and I've only got the 320MB 8800GTS, but I'm sweet everywhere else: leaving... I dunno, RAM and Doritos. Think that's it.

I'm right on par with the recommended requirements....

Although, after playing the beta, this game left me with a bitter taste in my mouth...

I'm a sucker for FPSs though, so I'll probably pick it up sooner or later :)

I can run it without a sweat on my year and a 1/2 old laptop. Then again, it has a duo core processor, a 7900GS and 2gigs of ram. Probably not on high though.

I think their mission was to make "The amazing, immersive FPS that you'll never be able to play."

Lol @ Roxx1t.

I am able to play Crysis, so maybe I'll grab it when the pricce drops. For some reason I can't justify paying full price for PC games anymore unless it's something really good like Half Life Ep 2 etc.

I meet all the requirements aside from my graphics card, which is a 512MB 7950GTX Go. Damn laptops.

I meet the requirements with the exception of my graphics card as well, which is a couple steps under HURGHT's, I have a 7900 GS overclocked a bit. Ran the demo okay after all the shitty textures loaded completely.

All I want to do is smash a Korean guy's face in with a chicken, is that too much to ask?

Yup. I meet the reccomended specs, except i have a quad core 6600 instead of a dual. So yus, crysis will be sweet for me! Although, that was the plan when making the computer anyway lol.

I won't be able to run it, but that's not at all surprising. My computer is like four years old.

2.4ghz (64x2 4600+)
2gigs ram
8800 GTS 320mb super clocked

I should be fine not sure on maxed out though, I can do Bioshock maxed with no issues or drops at all. (1280x1024 res so the 320mb can do it)

looking at getting 3.0ghz core 2 duo or 2.4-2.6ghz quad core, not sure though.

I can run it on my year and a half old laptop at just under the recommended but when i replace the internals on my PC (I killed them over the summer) it should run on super high settings (Thank God for student loans)

yes but just barely on the minimum requirements so i'll wait for it to come out on the Xbox 360 or Ps3.

I never really understand System Requirement language. So I'll just take a safe bet that my computer can't run it.

I meet it all except for the video card, but since I have a laptop there's little chance that will be changing any time soon. Good thing I don't play PC games anyway.
