BF2S Forums [Crysis] on what system do you play Crysis?

Intel Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz
2 GB DDR2 RAM
Gigabyte GeForce 7800GS

I've only played the demo, I play it fine on low at a good average framerate. I don't want to buy Crysis though because it's not worth spending money upgrading my system. Sure I could play it on low settings but fuck that Crysis' only quality was it's super-impressive graphics and if I can't have that then fuck the whole thing. There are other games out with better storylines anyway.

I'm not blaming Crysis for my system being outdated Mr. I-use-two-top-of-the-line-graphics-cards-and-have-more-high-end-computers-then-Ty-would-know-what-to-do-with, I was pointing out that I won't be upgrading because Crysis is only really worth playing if you can experience the full power of the graphics. Since I can't have the graphics with my limited hardware and finances I say screw the whole thing until the year 2020 when hopefully I will once again have money.

Well you

Well, that kinda frame rate does seem pretty high for your specs.  Pretty much everyone else, review sites included, don't see those framerates on considerably more powerful hardware.  Of course if you're playing at a lower resolution, that could give you good framerates, but even at that, with everything set to high I wouldn't think your hardware would do it.

For reference, googling lead to a review with a quad core + 768mb 8800GTX, and the only time it hits that kind of frame rate is at 1024*768, low settings, and no AA: http://www.tomsgames.com/us/2007/11/16/ … o_vs_full/

Intel C2D E6550 2.33 oced to 2.8
Asus P5NE SLI

Evga 8800gt KO 512mb
OCZ 600w SLI PSU
Vista Ultimate 64

I can play the game all on high 1440x900 (not very high) with my FPS anywhere from 30-50.  I will post some screenshots later.

(all speeds are stock)
C2D E6400
X1900XT 512mb
2GB Geil
74GB Raptor

1440 x 900, no AA, everything on medium except for shadows which are on low, 30fps.
It gets to around 20fps in the REALLY intense firefights, like the carrier being attacked by the aliens, but gets to 40 when I'm just walking/driving along.

And Ty, I don't agree when you say that the game is only worth playing on high settings. I played the whole game in one sitting (stayed up until about 5:30am). It wasn't because I was staring at the pretty pictures, but rather because I was having so much fun, jagged-edge slideshow or not. Check it out, you might be surprised.

None havent tried to yet and afraid to because of all the problems I have been hearing.  I also have to play the game in dx9 because of the menu crash.
