New computer Spec help for crysis

[Sana204]

I had just bought myself a new computer and graphics card. Right now it's getting somethings installed like the Graphics card, Power supply, and a pci adapter for my sata cables because the 8800 gts card is one fat mother fucker. Anyways, i was just wondering how well the game " Crysis" Or "Crysis - Warhead" would be able to run on this. I hope it's goes well, I've spent over $1100 on it already =]

Processor : Intel 2 Quad core q6600 @2.4ghz
Memory/ ram : 3GB DDR2
Hard drive :640GB 7200RPM
Graphics : BFG NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS OC 512MB PCIe 2.0

$1100? i guess there is one born every minute lol

 

[Mr.Lucifer]

I have a very similar system, with Q6600 overclocked to 3,5 GHz. I run on 1920x1200 all on Gamer but texture which is on Enthusiaist.

Check at Crymod.com for custom configs. With those it looks even better with less framerate loss.

 

[nzrock]

you'll lag on cutscenes with that spec.

Yes, themasher is correct, you got ripped. The total cost of all that is about $600 (if that) so i hope you have a case and PSU worth $500.

Crysis warhead works fine on an e6600 o/c'd with 2gb RAM and an 8800GT. No AA obviously but it works. Crysis requires more.

 

[nzrock]

would be even less then 600 bucks if you buy in taiwan lol...(like around 350)

 

[zingmars]

yup - it costs about 400-500 $. (p.s - of course that is told when we look at settings you posted... we don't know about your case motherboard etc...)
EDIT: it costs even less ^^
Processor: 190$
RAM: ~ 70$ (~)
Video Card: ~ 120$
Total: 380$ =]
P.s - i used TigerDirect to get the prices...

[Sana204]

hmmm, you people know your stuff i guess. I'm not asking for the highest settings i just wanted to know how well this runs. You say i got ripped? Maybe i did, doesn't matter. I can put some more bucks into it another time. I just need something to keep me occupied you know?

 

[frozenrat]

Yeah, it'll run nicely, maybe you should post the mobo?

Also consider getting another 8800GTS to run in SLI.

 

[zingmars]

mmm... frozenrat - i don't know but it seems that newegg is more expensive... but i forgot HDD... i admit that ^^... also about RAM - it was only a guess... but Video card... well still... well yeah but what about other ~500$ ? Case? Power thingy? ... it costs max 400$... well... every have it's way to select new PC... and yeah - we don't know what motherboard he have (probably this is where that big money was gone^^)... you can go SLI only if you have Nvidia Motherboard (i heard that newest Intel motherboards had support for SLI, but I'm not sure... I know that AMD and ATI are together... lol )

The thread is not about the cost of the system, he has already stated that, so drop it.

Dude don't stress it.

I could run Crysis on Medium Settings on:

1GB RAM
Pentium D Processor
nVidia 8500 GT 512MG

Once I upgraded to 3GB Ram I could play it on High. Some aspects lagged/jumped.

Not on the highest res btw.

I now play it on Medium with the specs above ^ with 3Gb.

edit: Funny that I could play it High on XP - then lagged on Vista. Vista is a freaken laggy OS, especially with the Aero.

And Crysis - Warhead is meant to be amazing, I'm getting it when Ive completed the campaign on Crysis.

 

[Ramuthra]

its probably that vista wanted to run in dx10..

1. Never get 3gb of RAM, either get 2gb or 4gb.

2. No that will hardly make a difference at all, your GFX card is poop. THAT needs to be changed.

who cares about card? as long as everything runs (even on min) everything is ok...

 

[frozenrat]

Uhh, no, it's not, if everything was okay with a game running on min, there'd be no use in developers putting so much time and effort into making a game look so good.

Some people want a great visual experience with a game, and you can hardly achieve that with all low settings on any game..

Frozen has a point, My computer can never run Crysis. Its from 2001 im lucky its still working. Intel Celeron 2.1 GHz, 256 MB of RAM, and I don't know what my graphics card is but it can't run Halo:Combat Evolved.

 

[zingmars]

guess what... my PC is from 2002 or 2003 and it can easly run Halo: Combat evolved (Nvidia 6200; 2.4GHZ celeron (single core); 1.25GB ram; 240GB HDD...)and i can play almost all games i can play Portal, TF2 (even it laggs in middle of battle, NFS:C )min graphics - NO lag), SCBW (^^), MU, WoW, CC3, W3 (On max settings lol ^^) and so on... i don't care about graphics that much... as long as i can recognize everything on screen and it runs fine i'm ok... (okay... i'm collecting money for new PC but still)
