I haven't played a PC game in years(own a playstation,and a Xbox 360). But with the system in my sig. would I have any problem playing Crysis? The game looks good and our local Wal-mart has it on sale.
 
yes I can play it on my rig on medium and stay above 30fps.Just tinker with the setting sand you'll find what you can and can;t use

Like I said, been years. What do you mean by medium settings, no AA, and how do I set the fps? Got to admit, this card has more settings and crap than I've ever seen before.
But Damn, the down loadable Nvidia demos look nice:D.

Is there info somewhere that tells me what all these settings do and accomplish?

Thanks for the help.
 
I am able to play crysis (at very, very minimal settings) on my prescott, 3ghz p4 system with an 8800gts. You should definitely be able to play the game.
 
Depends on the resolution you are comfortable with, at 1680 you'll be setting everything to Medium, MAYBE shaders on high

At 1280 definitely shaders on high and a few others at high

Personally, I recommend playing with shaders on high if you can
 
If you don't play PC games then why do you have such a nice gaming system?
 
Not a bad mod, did my own comparison SS's. JPG though so bad quality :)

I actually played through Crysis on my good old 3ghz P4, 1gb ram and Radeon 9800xt. Best graphics card I've ever bought.
 
I've used this mod and the lighting and shadows are darker. It does give good visuals for and the performance cost isn't as high as very high. I went back to standard very high as its just a bit dark for me.

When you upgrade you need to go back and play it all maxed out. It really is a visual treat cranked up.:)
 
Hey there. I have a similar setup to yours and i can play Crysis on very high.


Asus maximux formula
Intel Q6600 GO @ 3.6ghz
Gainward golden sample 8800GT (740/1115 OC on air)


Running at 1680x1050 lowest fps was 17.
 
Your set up is quite a bit nicer than mine. (I have a 3800+ dual/ 2gbs DDR/8600gt) and I can run everything on medium w/ a few highs @ 1680x1050.

You should be fine, have fun playing!

8600GT at 1680x1050 all medium some highs? No, sorry, not going to happen. Maybe an 8800 GT. Maybe.
 
Crytek has been crying over piracy and their refusal to patch the game anymore, but sounds like Crysis Warhead will probably optimize the game engine sufficiently that it should play smoother and look better at the same time. Will be interesting.

Try using Cubans Custom Crysis Config to make Crysis look better and/or run smoother.

I'm using Level 3 on a 4.1GHz E8400, 20% overclocked 8800GT (same card as yours) at 1920x1080 (1080p) res.
You may be able to use the Level 4 config if using a lesser resolution.

Wow!!! Thanks. That mod made Crysis look like 10x better and run at a smooth 45FPS avg. (level 4) @ 1360 x 768 on my sig rig. Friggin' awesome!

Now I'm going to play through it again on hard. I swear, its not even the same game!

BULLSHIT. I have a slightly stronger setup than you with an 8600gt at 667/1700 and a 5000+ and theres no way in hell its playable at 1680 with a mix of med/high settings. I benched it on just all medium settings at just 1280 I can get right at 22 fps in the benchmark. :rolleyes:

Thank you, :) I didn't build it to be a gaming system. I built it to be a muli-tasking system.
I just figured with the components in it, I should be able to game on it too, and Crysis just looked so sweet.
 
I believe his signature indicates he has an 8800 GT. I can play crysis with everything on high no aa and get good fps, no noticeable lag yet.
 
OP there are plenty of other, better games to play. I would recommend trying out CoD4 for PC, TF2, Portal, and STALKER.
