Crysis 3 PC specs revealed

@Heinpienaar123 i was intially oing with the 660ti but than i did a lil more reading and the 256bit gaming is what got me.. :) lol  and i have an AMD FX6120 (hex core running at 3.5ghz) and gots 10gig of ram.. so i believe iam golden off pure processing power and memory.. but my main issue was the graphical aspect of it... but i am very sure i am going to upgrade than.....  thanks again :)

@Gamefisher86I think go for it. You won't be disappointed with the 660TI though runs BF3 maxed out at 120 - 140 fps on a 1600 X 1280. With the extra $ the  670 will do. Make sure you also have the right cpu and enough ram. The i7 3770 should be more than enough.

@iCruze @metgear2000 these released specs are exaggerated in order to hype up the game and sell more computer parts. Crysis 3 will be running on the same engine as crysis 2 so if you can run cry2 then there is your answer.

@CommandoVD @metgear2000 It's not that your RIG can't handle the game, I believe the engine is unoptimized at the moment. I didn't see much diff between high and medium but it ran much worse on high...unplayable in MP, but would be ok in SP. The 680 will kill Crysis but I believe they are purposely holding the game back so sell hardware. For goodness sake they are giving the game away if you buy AMD GPU's. What does THAT tell ya. Normally I'd say you are fine...but it's up to the game engine to decide. Either way...any card past the 570 should run this game. Really...ANY medium/high end card should be perfect. Maybe not super high frame rates but playable...you don't really want to dip past 30 solid frames...although you should technically never dip below 45 fps in any situation for it to be a great gaming experience.

@metgear2000 just being pragmatic,ok maybe i was too much.

@metgear2000  Yeah I thought that was low for the specs, hex-core, quad channel memory, i should get 60fps. Thanks metgear2000 for the second opinion

I don't have a lot of available space, and my computer is a 32-bit box.  Doing any serious gameplaying on Win7/Win8 will require far more than just 2 GB of RAM.  And like I said, this is going to be a pure XP box (until they come out with a 100% WinXP emulator...yeah right).  I appreciate your input, though, and maybe it will be of use to others in similar difficulties.

 @VarietyMage well there are some programs out there like partition magic, that enable you to create a new partition onto your harddrive without having to re-formatt your harddrive to create 2 partitions on your harddrive, but in the end its just up to you... I use partition Magic a lot, helps so much!! also using programs like Arconis True Imagine backup and backup your entire windows and keeps it as an iso backup file to you dont have to get reformating as well, also helps the process but for that particular program you do need a 2nd harddrive but thats just an example but you should be able to create a 2nd partition on your drive without formatting it so long as you have enough allocated space on your harddrive that is.

When you try to put two OS's on the same hard drive, you need to create separate partitions for each OS, so they don't overwrite each other.  However, to create such a partition, I would have to re-partition my WinXP partition, which takes up the entire hard drive, and would thus require formatting of the hard drive into two new partitions, and the requisite re-loading of all my software (which took about 14 hours last time I had to do it, and I've loaded many new games since that instance, which would up that estimate greatly).  And I would never get a "Home Edition" of any OS.  I want full network control, which MS leaves out of Home Editions.  The only alternative would be to buy a new hard drive ($150 - $200), plus the Ultimate Edition of Win8 (~$300), to keep the longest use of the new OS before it becomes obsolete (as my funds will be extremely limited for at least the next 2 years - thank you stupid crappy job market), plus the game itself and applicable tax on everything...around $600.  Not worth it.  I'll stick with other DX9 PC games for the near future (and PS3 games too...but never FPS's on PS3 - joysticks suck compared to mouse and keyboard).

 @VarietyMage windows 8 you dont need to have, I personally am not even going to bother with windows 8 because I personally, dont like the fact that its built from the ground up to work with touch screen monitors and such... and Windows 7 home premium, costs around 60-80$ on newegg... not hundreds.... and you dont have to constantly switch bio to do that either, with a dual boot config it finds 2 OS's automaticly... and as far as a format, i believe you dont even need to format either, otherwise how else would you get 2 OS's onto a drive if you just had to keep formatting? you couldn't... its all in the setup when you put the windows 7 disc in... but it was just an idea for you... upto you if you dont want to, i can understand that sure... but i think you might have been mislead if you thought it cost 100s of dollors though... unless your machine is quite old of course, thats a different story then alltogether man....

@Toysoldier34 @IJONOI Lol!!!
