so you ran it on the same hardware that was around when crysis 1 came out or are you just making an estimate.

I have both games installed right now and did some benchmarks...

I am getting 20-30 frames per second on Crysis 1 enthusiast, everything maxed out with a single GTX470 (1920x1080), and 40-50 on Crysis 2 on hardcore.

Crysis 1 has a shitload more options to play with but I am only looking at maxed out values for both games.

sounds like they took the high requirement criticism from crysis 1  on board ,do you think developing engine(s) tailored for consoles helped in them making the engine optimization better for PC , still i would love to see it run on a 3 year old PC.

Here are the recommended system requirements(not Minimum):

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz, AMD Athlon 64 x2 2.66Ghz or better
GPU: NVidia GTX280 1GB, ATI 4870 1GB or better
RAM: 3GB
DX: 9
Shader: 3.0
OS: Windows XP
Frame Rate Target: 30fps@1650x1080

All those components are 3 years old or older
