Author Topic: Computer To Run Crysis (Read 3678 times)

I was wondering how much I will have to shell out for a computer that will run Crysis on the highest Settings with good frame rates. I'm guessing around $1,200 for the computer and video card. Please post computer parts too if you want.

I paid about 1,450 for my PC, and it runs crysis fine at ultra high.

8800GT 512mb, 2gb ram, intel q6600 quad core.

I was talking dollars.

I talk dollars if they talk dollars.

I am actually going to build a lower high end computer.

That has 8800 GT 512 mb, 2gb DDR2 RAM, 3.0ghz AMD Athlon dual core 6000+, 250GB SATA-II 16MB Cache Hard drive powered by 580watts.

Price comes to �577.97 inc VAT which is: $1141.03

GG with that, but I think you'd be better with a Q6600.

Crytek was able to get Crysis to run on high settings with a computer worth only $900.

i normally call a 900dollar comp pretty crappy.
i recommend anyone to pay at lowest 1500 for a desktop, and even more for a laptop (of course)
its unfortunate, but with stupid moore, you have to think at least 2 years ahead. that 900 dollar computer now will run like crap in 2 years.

its unfortunate for people that want to be pc gamers, they either have to have the money, or stay a step behind and play games in low detail to get by.
i like to keep my computer 2 steps ahead if i can to enjoy new games at their peak time, rather then 2 years later when an average computer can.

but thats a terrible argument to use on the average computer user or gamer

IMPOSSIBLE, NO COMPUTER CAN RUN CRYSIS ON HIGH! :O

I'm going to assume that's sarcasm, but if it's not I have a
friend that can play on high.

Bisjac · April 11, 2008, 04:56:22 PM

many comps can lol, im sure hes joking.

theres more to "playing on high" then having all settings up and meeting 30fps
most computers cant get a true high settings play, theres more then ingame settings

i got all settings up, and even custom video settings of even higher AA then the game has options for.
and im playing on a 24 inch screen (1920x1200 /w 85refresh) instead of your standard gamer's 17 or 19
it can be harder to use high settings for many more reasons then just a video card, ram, and processor. that most people tend to consume their thoughts with
