Crysis

[Evil Scotsman]

So, i just bought this game today and i found something out : my computer can run this, even though it falls short of a couple of the minimum specs...im a bit confused actually, i thought it wouldnt run...althought if i put it on Medium settings, my computer restarts itself...its a bit weird...also im only putting in the Windows XP specs, since thats what i have

Minimum specs:
3.2GHz
1.0Gb RAM
12GB HDD space
Video Card - NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT or higher

My specs:
2.2GHz
1.5GB RAM
just enough hdd space
NVIDIA GeForce 7600

Out of curiosity, why did you buy a game you didn't think you could play?

because i didnt know what my specs were

Nice, most pcs can RUN crysis, but power = pretty, and btw. some good downloads are CCC tweaker and natural mod, makes crysis beautiful and blazing fast, + tone down the resolution to like 1280 or 1024

 

[Vash108]

You should have checked the Can You Run it site too and it should give you a vague idea of what you have.

 

[Jarc42]

Google the game's system requirements. If that doesn't help, go the Crysis help forum.

can you explain this more? im a bit confused

Yea.....I doubt crysis will run on your computer even on minimum settings.


My rig (just a few specs):
3.0ghz (without overclocking)
4gb RAM
around 300 HDD space
Radeon HD 4870 512mb


I can run it on just above medium setting.

You really should have done some research before you bought the game. People always lie about those things.

Sure

That is CCC tweaker bassically optimizes crysis for you, you probably want lowest or second lowest optimization ( level 1 / 2 )
You want autoex config ( or the one that isnt system.cfg) and not the TOD

-------------

Natural Mod

Changes the sun in crysis to give the effect of sunrays of awesomeness
You want the TOD and system.cfg

http://files.filefront.com/Natural+Mod+v202/;9619831;/fileinfo.html

----------------

In system settings make sure your resolution isnt too high like 1024X768 is fine, i have mine windowed aswell because my screen is bigger than 1024X768
-----------------

Hope that helps

If you can't run Crysis in high quality then you might as well buy a different game, because the graphics in Crysis are easily the most amazing part of it.

Thanks, my resolution the now is 1280x1024 is that too high? Should i put it down?

I played it on a 1,7 GHz processor with 1 GB ram and Nvidia GeForce 7600 without lagging (!!!)

I would still put it down to 1024X768 and put it in windowed mode, and you MUST have CCC tweaker at least to play the game with a Quality/perfomance compromise that is good,

Natural mod is optional but gives the very high setting effect =D

oh and ( i love this thread to bits as its my forte )

You will need an upgrade if you want to game alot in the near future, since i gather your in scotland and i think they ship to there, that would be the place to go ( I dont know how they make a profit mind you =p, btw. there completely trustworthy i get everything from there)

ps. the top PC will run crysis ( and will own it with CCC )

Right, I've managed to push it to High settings without much lag. Thanks for your help

I played it on my 2.8 GHz laptop with portable Graphics Cards, 1280x1024, without lagging. Why do people say it is so high specs?

They say it needs such high specs to put it on the Very High settings.
