Ickalanda said: You will run any game just fine trust me. I run Crysis with a single core 1.8 GHz processor (yes that is under minimum), 1 GB of RAM, and a GeForce 7600 GT. And I run the game at 1024x768 resolution with most things on low but some on medium and even high and I run the game at a solid framerate.

 

But with that PC the game looks like an original xbox game, i don't think thats the way Crysis is meant to be played.

There's no real benefit to having more RAM than around 3 GB...your video is near bleeding edge, and quad cores aren't even used in games yet...your PC is fine.

I bet you paid $1800 for it though.

Can we get a price?

Depends on how much you paid for it.  It is common knowledge that PC games only run on $3000 computers.  If you paid less than that, it will probably not run very well.  Sorry.

You need at least an 8800GTS to play modern games at a decent resolution and frame rate. an 8400 is slower than a 7600GT (slow). 4GB RAM is pretty much needed for smooth no hitch gameplay also. You can get away with 2GB on XP but NOT Vista, and even then, whats the point? You can pick up 4GB for less than £60 these days.   FTR Crysis will still run shit on his setup, and its not THAT good is it...9800GT is slower than an 8800GTX.

 

 i can run gears of war on an 8400 with 2gb of ram just fine, i dont know about crysis though. but his gaming setup is insane!

 1200

For a prebuilt computer?  I'm pretty sure your PC would cost about $1000 to build, so $1200 seems a little low for a prebuilt...did you get a special deal?  Where did you buy it from?

I guess I just don't believe you.

 

I agree with the earlier person about what he said about Crysis...

It will look like an Xbox 1 game, probably worse. I've played the game on my rig (Athlon 64 x2 4200+ 2GB Ram, WinXP, X1900XT 512mb)..

and it still doesn't look like it should. Directx 10 does give good quality lighting & shadows something which isn't as good in Directx 9.0c Check the jungle sections in the game.  I heard having two graphic cards helped?

The original post, you should be fine. I would question the graphics card too. Don't always assume the highest number is the best graphics card. 6GB of Ram is overkill, Vista only uses about 3.3GB. XP max probably 3.1GB... but optimised for 2GB Ram. Quad Cores are not really in-use yet.. Dual Core should be sufficient for Xbox 360 games. Your processor is for future gaming, when they decide to use quads more often. I heard the new Alan Wake uses 3 cores for the PC.
