8300 GT questions...

1.) is it DX10? i belive it is.

2.) will it run crysis maxed out?

perhaps medium-high on 12x10? that's a guestimation.jfelisario

it really is a difficult question two-fold, first, the game's not out, second, the card's not out.jfelisario

Correct answer although it's safe to assume it won't run the game very good at all. Low-end cards from any generation perform terribly at games that are released around the same time.

A 8300GT is going to be much worse than a 8800, just like a 7300GT is 4 or 5 times slower as 7800 card. It won't be able to cope with directx 10 effects.

You guys are way over doing this crysis thing. This is confirmed information.

Crysis will run on both DX9 & DX10 as well as Windows XP and Windows Vista.

A graphics card that supports Shader Model 2 or higher is required.

CryEngine2 is estimated to scale back 2 years, and scale ahead 1.5 years.

A single 7800GTX will run the game quite well on fairly high settings according to Crysis Art Director, Michael Khaimzon.

Jack Mamais of Crytek said in an exclusive Crysis-Online interview that his X1900XT runs the game very well at reasonably high settings ( still unoptmized ).

Crysis will dynamically utilize all processing threads available. Meaning quad-core processors will be supported

Minimum Requirements
CPU: Athlon 64 3000+/Intel 2.8ghz
Graphics: Nvidia 6200 or ATI X1300 - Shader Model 2.0
RAM: 768MB on Windows XP or 1GB on Windows Vista
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 256k+
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX9.0c with Windows XP 

Recommended Requirements
CPU: Dual-core CPU (Athlon X2/Pentium D)
Graphics: Nvidia 7600 or ATI X1600 Pro (SM 3.0) or DX10 equivalent
RAM: 1.5GB+
HDD: 6GB
Internet: 512k+ (128k+ upstream)
Optical Drive: DVD
Software: DX9.0c with Windows XP

The 8800 will get cheaper, or as a matter of fact you could get the 8600 ULTRA, that is going to be a hit.SoberWarock
