only on certain criteria. It's awfully bitchy when it comes to your OS as it always prefers Vista. Also if you have a multi GPU video card it will only pick up on individual GPU power. I remember when I went there to see how well I was rated for crysis, I have a 9800GX2 which is a 1GB vid card (multi GPU) so it said I had 512 Vmemory instead of the full gig as the card has 2 GPU's, each 512. Overall it's not a bad site.Yooz said:
It is based on the specs given by the publisher which are, as always, highly underrated.Yooz said:
It will only lag alot after about 5 minutes after its loaded, then it's fineandyandy said:How well?Evil Scotsman said:actually i can run it on 1280x1024 and on Medium graphicsandyandy said:
well now that I've downloaded the CCC and the other thing 
You really should be able to run it on a lot higher than that, I was running it somewhere between High/very high with my rig, which is somewhat older than yours.TMAN10112 said:
The only point in the game where I had to go and turn things down were the final bossfight, but even on low settings I was getting 8-15 fps before that patch (through most of the game I was getting 30-45 fps).
2.4 GhZ core2duo (running at around 3.2GhZ)
2Gb ram
maybe 50gb hdd space
2x 1gb 2900XT
on topic:
Yeah, you'd be surprised how little you need to make it run, the minimum specs listed on the box are rarely the lowest rig you need to play it, back when I had my IBM R30 for gaming I managed to get lots of games that were, on paper, a long way out of reach (mb onboard graphics ftw). I'd recommend using some of the mods that optimize graphics as they really make a difference.
UPDATE : My processor just burned out after 3 hours of playing Crysis straight...It's getting repaired as we speak, and I am writing this on a laptop.
Maybe I shouldn't play games for that long

Crysis can be very CPU-intensive for single-core processors (not so much for multi-core ones). Sounds to me like your PC isn't so used to being under such stress and you likely did not have sufficient airflow in your case to keep the thing cool when under a high load. Any intensive program would likely have caused this to happen.Evil Scotsman said:UPDATE : My processor just burned out after 3 hours of playing Crysis straight...It's getting repaired as we speak, and I am writing this on a laptop.

Crysis does need to use your CPU and HDD a lot if you don't have the graphics memory/RAM to hold all of the levels data at once, especially the textures.
