You mean Crysis?

You need a fairly beefy computer to play it supposedly.

Yes, it does take a pretty fast/strong machine.  At work we get people whining that their video card will not play the game properly.  And they have high end cards.

Dual core, and Nvidia 7600 GT or ATI X1600 min for reasonable frame rates should let you play with some options turned off.  A good Dual Core chip and a 7800 GT or X1800 for most of the options on but Anti-Ailiasing at 1280X1024.  Unfortunately, Anti-Aliasing is what makes games like this go from good to great.

That's just a guestimate though.  I have an overclocked X2 3800 and a 7800 GT, and I can run Oblivion with no AA at that resolution, so I'm guessing something similar.

My old compy is around 5 years old. I have a WinFast A6600 GT video card, and a pentium 4 3.0Ghz hyperthreading processor. It runs Oblivion pretty nicely, with the aliasing at about 75% of max. You think, in your humble opinion, that is good enough for crysis?

at what Res?  That makes a difference too.

You can probably run the game, it just won't be pretty.

I run Oblivion at all settings maxed BUT the aliasing. (Which is usually 2x, 4x, 8x, or 16X, not %), and I'm sure I could run it, but would have to tune down the settings).

Also, the 6600 GT isn't even fully DX 9.0 fully compatable, so you might take a big performance/look it for that.

Ok, after reading Toms Hardware review of the game, it is graphicly fantastic, but to run it with all the eye candy on, you'll need a computer built 2 years from now (As in yes, there is not a computer today that can run it at the top settings).

This means that my computer might choke on it, and it's still a fairly high end computer.
