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!]

New computer within the next two weeks!:)
Hal-9000
so ... nope, not even close. guess its time to sell my house and buy a compoooter
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.
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 :)
well technically that's two words,but you get the deal...
...Shit.
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.
All I want to do is smash a Korean guy's face in with a chicken, is that too much to ask?
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.
Good luck with all that, have a nice life!
