Brace yourself: Crysis system requirements released photo

#Crysis #PC #PC Hardware

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!]

chuck the hijacker

No, but soon, yesss me's precious...sooon.....
New computer within the next two weeks!:)

Cerbus

Yes and at high settings.

Evil Cheese

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.

DJDuffy

nope...not a chance =P

Campbell

System Requirements:
Hal-9000

MaxVest

S-S-S-Slide show.

Niero

I would have to strap my laptop to a carburetor and stab it with steroids

so ... nope, not even close. guess its time to sell my house and buy a compoooter

Teta

Hell NAW

icarus

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.

Jordan Devore

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

Aerox

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

Evil Cheese

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

Kotua

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 Most likely my video card is outdated.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.

PrinceofCannedPeaches

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.

ConsFEARacy

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 :)

Fugue

Nope, processor is what's going to stop me.

DarkTravesty

can i play it no do i care for this game no!

ArrestedDeveloper

All I'm missing on recommended is the graphics card, mine is a 7600 GS, everthing else is fine. 4 gigs of memory ftw!

nmg82

heck yes i can run it. at the higer settings too! i can't wait to see how it looks on my machine...

warmonger

well no problems here. i had already plan on adding another 2 gig of ram to get a total of 4 gigs later this year

ZeroTolo

I think I'll just wait for the inevitable console port a few years from now.

Jerkbutt47

one word: HELLSNO!!!
well technically that's two words,but you get the deal...

Raidensolid

Please port it to ps3... *Clicks his heels three times* There no place like PS3

...Shit.

JLarkin

I can do it! On my new Thinkpad notebook, no less.

Hoygeit

Well- looks like I won't be playing this game for a long while.

xmetninjax

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.

R0xx1t

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

PetiePal

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.

HURGHT

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

Bryan-

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?

Jetsetlemming

Those system requirements are less than Bioshock and Jericho. Suck it up!

yahtwice

Nope, I don't meet the requirements. :(

Velt

I can run it, core2duo check, 2 gigs ram check, 8800gts 320mb (well, it says 640... will see).

Biltor

Thats a no for me.

GuitarAtomik

hell fuck naw

heroclixer87

Is this coming to the 360? No? Then hell naw I can' play it.

Andrex

Yep.. time to save up.. jesus.. 8800? fuck!

ajaxender

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.

Cheeburga

Sure can.

Googlyeyes

what? O-o me play this??? my computer can bearly play maplestory -.-"

Justin Villasenor

My comp slightly exceeds the recommended specs. Wheeeeeeeeeeeeee!

taumpytears

I can run that game on max settings, I lurves my computer.

UglyDuck

No trouble. I'm in the green for another few years to come.

Dexter345

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

mix

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.

bunnyrabbit2

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)

AgentMOO

@Crysis

Good luck with all that, have a nice life!

poonster

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

Clockwork

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

HarassmentPanda

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.
