The Crysis “challenge”

Tuesday, Nov. 13 2007 | Author: Mel

With the imminent arrival of Crysis, PC gamers all over the world gearing up for some high quality FPS goodness by uninstalling old games, defragging drives, double checking connections, and stocking up on caffeine and sugar treats for a couple (or more) 24 hour days to frag it up.

Of course, Crysis is also being hotly anticipated because of its kick ass graphics that will surely set a new bar for developers and gamers alike. Crysis will surely be a true test for gaming systems. I myself am not sure if my PC has the muscle to handle Crysis. I have an AMD X2 3800+, 2 gigabytes of DDR2 RAM, and an HD2600XT graphics card. A few of my friends told me that it will be enough but having seen the screnshots of Crysis I am not going to get my hopes up. Crysis looks like it’s going to eat up my computer. It’s that gorgeous.

I’ll keep you guys posted if my PC lives up to the Crysis challenge.

I KNOW THE FEELING. I AM RUNNING AN ATHLON XP X64 4800+, WITH A RADEON X1600 512MB AND 2GB RAM, AND CRYSIS CHEWS MY MACHINE UP AND SPITS IT OUT. VERY HIGH SETTINGS TURN IT INTO A SLIDESHOW. BUT IT RUNS SMOOTHLY, WITH VERY FEW ISSUES AT LOW SETTINGS (1024X768 @70 HZ WITH MOST SETTINGS ON MEDIUM). SO TIME TO BEEF UP THE HARDWARE.. WHEN I AM NOT BROKE.. LOL

I hear ya. This is going to be a challenge. Do I pick up PS3 and an HD TV, or do I spend my dough on my PC upgrade and Crysis and CoD 4?
