Author Topic: Computer To Run Crysis  (Read 3658 times)

thats a pretty good comp for that price

Thanks. I swear I have been switching components and reading hundreds of reviews for the past 2-3 days. I even registered in about 3 forums for support.

Will be worth it though. :D

Later I will SLI the 9600GT for moar power.

Going to need a bigger Power supply to SLI those babies.

I'm running on high around 30 fps on Crysis.

AMD Athlon 64 3500+, 2.2GHz
1 GB RAM
1 NVidia GeForce 8600 GT (Underpowered, I don't have a 300W power supply :( I can only play on a little lower than medium.)

It used to run around 15 FPS on low with my GeForce 6800 XT. Once I get a new power supply, I'm thinking of maybe getting another 8600 GT and SLIing them.

I've seen a nVidia GeForce 8500GT 1GB DVI/HDTV PCI-Express Video Card for $100 on ebay. Are they any good?

I'd go with the 9600 for $40 more. I wouldn't trust any products sold on ebay...at least not electronics.

I found the 9600 GT but its only 512MB. What matters most in a video card? This 9600 GT has 256-bit & 512MB vs The 8500GT 1GB with 128-bit. Which one will be better? The Crysis game says 640MB recommended. And I want to enjoy it with the highest settings with no lag.

Psh the 9600 for sure.


I would be able to run Crysis on at least High with like one or two things set lower, but my graphics card is TERRIBLY underpowered.

AMD Athlon 64 3500+ 2.2GHz
1 GB RAM
150 GB hard drive+80 GB USB external hard drive
250V power supply
GeForce 8600 GT
Windows XP SP2

My brother's superlaptop can run Crysis at just about highest quality.

Intel 2 Duo Core Extreme Edition
4 GB RAM
350 GB hard drive +500 GB external hard drive
unknown power supply
2x GeForce 8800 GTs
Windows Vista Home Premium (Yes, DirectX 10.)


I hate you all.
Trust me, my bro's old computer was worse. GeForce 5500 GT or something. 512 MB RAM. Intel Pentium 4.

You forgot a case, power supply, processor and heatsink for the processor.
