"How will i do with this rig, Amd Athlon x2 64 5000+ 2.6ghz 2 gb ddr2 radeon 4850 oc'ed gonna play at 1280x1024 on vista"
You'll be fine. You can play it at very high settings at that resolution at 30fps.
Just make sure you use DX9 while playing... some video cards have framerate loss when using DX10.
Some settings don't change the visual quality all that much, but still they slow down the game abit. the water quality should be placed at medium settings, because there's no difference at all from the medium to very high settings. Texture quality? From those screenshots, it changes almost nothing... best to place it at medium/low if you got a lowend/mediocre pc like me with a mediocre GPU. Shadow quality... Medium settings again. Preset quality settings... High/medium settings. Object quality settings. Low quality for sure. No difference at all and it will most likely reduce framerate if you max it up(even if it just reduces like... 1-4 frames.. it's still worth it considering how this game runs at 30fps in most pc's). Shader Quality looks alot better in very high, but medium and high don't look much worse... just... different.
gunitman12345, whats the memory in your system? cause its probably a mixture of your memory and processor if the memory is lower than 2GB and gtcheto, the problem there is probably the crossfire configuration is a bit crap, sometimes it can be worse to have two cards and really bad to have quad SLI. Its like that with crossfire and SLI systems, best SLI configuration is the 9600GT's or 9800GT's s, another thing that could be the prob is your Power Supply, how many watts are powering it?
i dont know about warhead (dont have it yet), but crysis is one heck of a game (graphic mostly) i run it just fine( everything on high AA disabled this is where my pc will run with a bit of lag now and then), my graphic card is most likely the bottle neck of my pc. specs: core 2 quad q6700 @2,67 oc'ed to 2,85 4 gb ocz reaperX ram. nvidea 9600 GT xxx(factory oc'ed) 512 mb. i want to buy the gtx 280, but ill be waiting for an year or so, just to have the price dropped, i dont really mind having a bit lower graphics now (they are still very good). my monitor is a samsung 2032mw which gives 1600x1050 which is more then enough.
Crysis:Warhead is supposed to be able to cater to lower end pc's and yet also introduce some new graphical features. The requirements are quite high but you can always go with medium settings like me.
On my old rig ...(don't laugh)A 2yr Old Dell XPS with a Pentium D Dual-Core 3.2ghz and (upgraded to) 4gb OCZ pc6200 RAM, with an 8800gtx running XP...this game was AWESOME. But alas, I finally built my first custom computer: Q9550 2.8ghz with a light OC up to 3.0ghz EVGA 790i Mobo 4 gb mushkin RAM at 1600mhz (soon to be 8gb) GTX 280 (soon to be dual GTX 280's) This game is MINDBLOWING. So I would have to say that its all relative, if your pc runs it at a quality that is acceptable to you...having the nicer parts is really just "bonus." Besides, who cares if its the prettiest thing ever? I had way more fun playing Bioshock than I every did playing Crysis...and I'm the biggest graphics whore there is.
isolation, that's exactly what I have, and while it won't look like the photos in this feature, it'll be decent, playable and very enjoyable (Medium specs across the board, decent resolution)
Why does everyone want to say I have GTX 280 can I run Crysis at High setting even when they know they run at very high setting.There are many people believe me many people who are running Crysis with 8600GT and happy with that.I have a 3850 and run with mixed settings of medium and very high setting and I get around 25 to 30 FPS and I am very happy with that.I know you all are proud of your systems and you should but please don't make many of us look bad really.
@supergamer911, it wont run at all, i used to have that card,and it literally raped my computer, plus stick with nvidia, runs better with mostly all games. ( check for the nvidia sign on the back of game boxes)
@kagemonsta, it will work dude, i promise you that. im running an ati radeon hd 3650, and its at medium high settings. so you will have a fun time playing it man. enjoy
In some areas, only the foliage and lighting is improved, but surfaces like the ground or rocks look very similar or identical in different quality settings..
e8400 850w coolermaster psu 6400 xms 4bg corsair 4870 sapphire gigabyte x48 ds4 mobo vista 64bit, dx10 i swear i laugh at anyone going at this game with anyhting less than ati 4800 series or nvidia g200 series and rejoicing and showing off that they can just barely play it, i mean yes you can play at medium settings but the experience is just so different when settings are maxed out. i say max out crysis or play something else like call of duty"
Um no? lol mate Q9550 - swapped it for my e8400 4GB of Corsair DDR2 pc8500 twinx P5K Premium Black Pearl Edition Still on my 8800GTX clocked to Ultra speeds.
And i get the same frame rate as you, if not higher at 1680x1050!
surely you should know that ATI does not scale well on crysis.
I love ATI as a company, and at the moment they are destroying Nvidia with the 4800 range, but its down to crysis being badly optimised! crytec are promising a better optimised engine for "crysis warhead" im holding off on my video card upgrade until i actually need to upgrade
I have an intel core 2 quad q6600 @2.4ghz, 2gb corsair xms2 ddr2 800mhz ram, asus p5n e sli mobo, xfx nvidia geforce 8800 gs 384mb, 500gb 7200rpm samsung hard drive, silent knight 600watt psu on windows xp 32-bit and i can run crysis on high with the resolution at 1152x864 and i get on average 37fps.

i have a dell dimension 4700 with an ati radeon card (dont know what model) and a single-core pentium 4 processer and i can run it at mostly high, with as good a framerate as it would be with the lowest settings if my 6 year old computer can run it that good, then i dont see why some peoples are running so bad
i play full very high settings at 1280 X 960 res and get 25-31 fps i'm gonna overclock ram and cpu when i get the chance so i can fkn own this game

I have a ATI HD 2600 Pro, and in order to play with "OK" frame rate i have to go 1280x1024. (on medium). But i put physics on very high, im a Half Life fan
Ok I have an 8800 GT, which should be 512MB, correct? Well, after performing a dxdiag run, it says my video ram is a whopping 2.2gb.
I don't understand how this works. At system requirments lab, the recommended video card is the 8800GTS 640MB. But again, it says mine is better, and the bar is maxed out.
Besides, my actual performance on Crysis isn't amazing or anything. I still seem to have less than smooth frame rate on medium with not that amazing resolution.
What's up with that? o.O
Oh yeah and i got 4gigs of ram and a quad core amd, so the CPU part seems to be sufficient enough.
_ramtin1001 you could run crysis with those specs. I might suggest changing you're RAM timings. I don't know how much cooling you got in your system, but that might help. Mine are at 4-4-4-15, but my motherboard did it for me and I OC'd my q6600 to 3.2GHz. I get 43 FPS with those settings and a GX2 on high..to me it's not high enough.
never mind i used crysis demo to try it myself. with everything on medium its ......."ok" with around 20-25 fps most of the times and with shader quality on high its jus not playable even if run it on dx9.... guess im out of luck... (
hey everyone i jus wanted to know if i can run it with shader quality on high and everything else on medium.... this is my system: inter core 2 duo 2.2GHz 3 GB RAM Radeon HD 2600 xt thnx.....
Hey guys, what do you think, with what settings can i run crysis? My specs: cpu: p4 3.0 Ghz 1mb cache gpu: ati 2600xt 256mb agp 8x ram: 2GB (4x512 ddr 400Mhz) Thanks in advance
