Running Crysis

ChrisUlrich · 11-17-2007, 10:12 PM

Q6700 @ 2.66ghz
8800 Ultra
2gb of DDR3 1067mhz
On board sound card from the p5k3 deluxe wifi
700w Thermaltake

My friends PC btw.

He can't run Crysis on max settings @ 1280x1024.

Is that a bit odd? He was thinking maybe he needs more memory. I'm thinking that the game just requires a ton of gaming power?

I would think he should be able to max it. The 8800GT's can max it. Does he have the latest driver installed?

Yep thats normal.... I just bought crysis last night and at 1440x900 reso and everything on very high with no aa, it slows waaaay down during intense parts. Or big open areas. And no an 8800gt can't max it out and it run smoothly, u obviously havnt played it yet ....

If he did add ram, over 3.25GB, an 64bit o/s will be needed

I know right! so far I've seen some quad systems with high-end 8800 cards being crippled by Crysis! Im like what! Good luck my 7600GT gives me 35FPS in LOW! haha

Damn... so it's just the game?! Holy crap... that's insane. I didn't think that when I upgrade in Feb/Mar that it's just mandatory to play Crysis on very high. haha

9800 is coming soon... it'd be funny if it lags that too

Well they're saying that the 9800GTX will be damn near twice as powerful as the 8800GTX

But you really think the system just lacks the gaming power?
