crysis 2 full system requirements..no guts.. no glory!

we know what the crysis 2 minimums are.. time for the recommendeds and maximums

and heres thosre minimums again made a little more clear:

cpu: athalon 64 x2/core 2 duo 2.0ghz or better

2gb ram

nvidia gf 8800gt/ ati hd 3850

windows xp or better running directx 9.0c

this is for stable play (+30 fps) on medium at 1024 x 768

to play crysis 2 on high one needs (at 1680 x 1050) :

recommended:

intel: core 2 duo 2.66ghz or better

amd: athalon 64 x2 2.66ghz or better

3gb ram

amd: ati radeon hd 4870

nvidia: nvidia geforce gtx 280

windows xp or greater running directx 9.0c

now for the more adventurous type out there here is what crytek recommended for maxing the game out at 1920 x 1200

intel: core i7 3.0ghz or better

amd phenom II x6 3.0ghz or better

4gb ram

amd: ati radeon hd 4870x2

nvidia: geforce gtx 560ti

windows 7/server 2008 environment running directx 11.0

resolution of 1920 x 1200

those all ensure stable play with 30+ fps

tada color coded

i should be able to handle it, i just hope it's not TERRIBLE :)

I'm so glad I'm building another rig to run that maxed out...

I can do 1680 x 1050 most likely with my current rig.

Yay, I can run it maxed out. Sounds like it'll probably run better than metro 2033 too.

My ram, video card and everything meets the requirement but my pc has the Intel i7 860 at 2.80 ghz. Hopefully I can still run the game at max though I doubt it :(

So, a 460 should be able to max 1440x900, right?

no.. highest maybe but aa and af are definetely out of the question.

This list was published and retracted by a site a couple of days ago.

Until Crytek comes out and announces the requirements there's no point in discussing anything. Especially when the "highly recommended" section doesn't make any sense (why did you cut the GPU memory parts lol?)

your right the 4870x2 doesnt fit in there but we may cough it up to error or google translate just sucking at its job.

also considering your are from the beta their just as bad.. the bet has absolutely no ahrdware support or directx support.. its a shell of crysis 2

Hopefully that article is wrong and Crytek does give out the real maximun settings where my cpu is able to run the gameat max.

Meh, on the beta i can do constant 40+ FPS so i should be good

Eh? at 1440x900... a 460 (considering OC) is gonna destroy say a 560 TI at 1920x1080...

1,296,000 pixels vs 2,073,600 vs a Video card 10-15% slower then a 560ti. Yeah.. a gtx 460 (considering Oc) will easily be able to max if rest of hardware is very nice considering the system recommendations.

The 4870x2 doesn't support DX 11 so i'm not sure whats going on there

other than that they seem really reasonable, assuming those are accurate. I'm in between the recommended for high and max. It looks like it will be optimized for Core 2 Duos which is nice.

Looks like ill be pretty close to maxing it, might need to OC my CPU just a little bit.

an 8800GT minumum? I thought they said Crysis 2 would be less demanding...SF_KiLLaMaN

DX10 cards are around since 2006. The 8800GT really is low-end now.

[QUOTE="the_ChEeSe_mAn2"][QUOTE="SF_KiLLaMaN"] Oh, when they said less demanding I thought that they actually meant less demanding....Elann2008

Although I agree TOTALLY with your post... there have been cases where a sequel looked and performed better than the original.... it's about updating/optimizing the engine too.

[QUOTE="Elann2008"]

[QUOTE="the_ChEeSe_mAn2"] IMO it would be naive to expect lower requirements (even more minimum requirements) for a sequel that is supposed to look better than the predecessor. SF_KiLLaMaN

Lol at the 3.0 ghz I7. Is this game really that cpu dependent?

hah! so my decision is sealed. i'm not getting this day one. i'll buy it when i get myself to upgrade to gtx 560.

I should be good.

holy crap, I can max a power-hog of a game on release

this...this is the first time it has happened to me before!!!

Honestly therecomended doesn't sound too far off on what Crysis 1 required.

amd: ati radeon hd 4870

nvidia: nvidia geforce gtx 280

ionusX

Is this supposed to be better optimized for ATI or something? GTX 260 should compare to the 4870, not the 280.

mrbojangles25

Same here. It feels so....good. lol

I'm still excited that I can run Crysis 1 and Warhead at max. It still amazes me every time I play. I guess that's what happens when you come from a 6800gs and a single core AMD Athlon 64.

haha ditto

when oblivion came out, I had a pentium 4, 6600GT, and 1GB memory...blargh

when Crysis came out, I had a core 2 duo, 7600GT, and 2GB memory...blargh

now...now I have an AMD X4, ATI 6870, and 4GB memory...REJOICE!

So much for a low-graphic console port....FelipeInside
