Crysis Rapes my machine

The problem with saying you have like 20-30 frames on the first half of the game almost means nothing cuz when you hit the later stages, don't want to say where as it may spoil, it just eats up your pc with the increase in action.
 
I don't think I'm even going to try installing it. Will just depress me.

Running with:
AMD 3.5+ HT (so old :o)
2GB RAM
7800GTX
 
How much of a difference is there between the demo and the full game?

I could play the demo on "Very High" at about 30fps, could see a noticible different in performance with the Lighting taken down to "High"

Ive got :

amd x2 6000+ dualcore
2gb of ddr2 ram
8800GTS 320 (latest gfx card drivers)
'***' MOBO tho - sum winfast piece of rubbish
xp sp2

Dude! Go for it!!!!
I still have an AMD 3400+ (Socket 754!!!) 2GB RAM (DDR400!!!) And the Gainwards 7800GTS 512MB!!!

Crysis runs OK on my PC, but with a 22" LCD, I need to run it at MAX!!!!!!!

Had my PC for around 5 years now! (Got the GPU last year to try squeeze a bit more out of it!!!)

Now busy looking at a new machine! AMD X2 6400+ Black, 2GB DDR2-800, couple of 500GB SATA's in RAID... and 8800GTX 640MB (only 1 for now!)
But I might just hold out till the new AMD Quad's and the new nVidia cards come out!!!!

Oh well... BTW! I run all other games at max! COD4, Bioshock, NFS Pro Street...

everything "Very High"
Q6600, 8800GT, 2GB RAM

There is however a little bit of a drop in framerate here and there in the beginning
 
6800gs - slightly overclocked
3.2Ghz Pentium D overclocked to 3.75Ghz

Everything set to low - 1280 by 1024 res
Runs fine :)

Ok this is kindof disturbing...

When I originally published this article and looked at the graph of the processor performance capture my first impression was that Crysis was utilizing all four cores - which is true. Crysis is passing instructions to all four cores but not maximizing their ability to handle instructions concurrently. All four cores look busy in the graph but the reality of it is that they are basically operating as a single-core and taking turns. In it's current state Crysis does not take full advantage of multi-core processing.

A lot of people have been going Quad on the assumption that Crysis supports it.

There's also the unfortunate conclusion many have reached regarding the game's performance on Vista, which is to say Crysis performs much better on XP than the newest version of Windows.

Yeah but so do all other games. ;)

I have a 32 core processor, not gone help much though :(
 
crysis runs quite lekker on my pc. but i just wanted to say that this is possibly the best FPS game i have ever ever ever played. Took me 40 hours of gameplay to eventually beat it... and its incredible; the story doesnt leave you clueless you feel like you are always there; the visuals are another story... you dont get better simple as that and the gameplay rocks. If peoples pc can run it i suggest HIGHLY you get this game :)

ok...so what the hell do you need to run this thing full tilt then??

Full tilt you'll need:

Top-end SLI mobo
Dual core processor exceeding 2.8gHz
4 gigs of DDR2 ram
2x 8800GTS cards in SLI
600-900w PSU

Estimated cost for Crysis-raping machine: R15000
