Is Crysis capable of running maxed with this system?

Vista Ultimate 64

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz (4 CPUs)

4GB RAM

NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS 512MB

I read somewhere that an 8800 is required, but would the other parts of my computer compensate? I would only want to play it if I can experience the "full hype"! :) Or should I not even bother with it?

Maxing out Crysis is impossible at higher rezes. but if your monitor is small enough, maybe, just maybe. But not with that video card, not a chance.

Nope, it wouldn't. I doubt it's designed to render 3D games.

no an 8600 cannot run crysis maxed out... you would need 2 8800 gtx cards in sli to do that...even better.. get 2 9800 gx2 cards in sli to run the game at ultra high with good fps...

If you want to run the game smoothly at 1680x1050 with highest settings, it's possible with an 8800GT or better. With my 9800GTX, I can do 1680x1050 with 2x AA. Good enough for me.

It can be maxed out with acceptable framerates at a resolution of 1680X1050 only wIth 9800 GX2 Quad SLI.Check out this video:- http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=QGqEp9irDuE

Two issues with your comment:

1) He is running it in true DX10. I'm only running it with the tweaked DX9 "Very High" settings. I do have Vista and the minimal visual differences don't warrant the 10-30 FPS drop. They look just about the same.

2) "Acceptable framerates" being 80+ FPS? Are you kidding? Anyways, I ran the same timedemo and got a 42 FPS average. I think I'll live.

An 8800GT is more than capable of running Crysis at 1680x1050 with high/very high settings, just not in DX10. Ask anyone with an 8800GT and a fast processor.

WHy are people so obsessed of maxing the game out? The game looks incrediable on high/very high settings iwth a modest resolution.. My friend for instance built his new computer witht eh EVGA 9800 GTX SSC version, the ame blows anything out of the water.. And no he isn't maxing anything out..

the question is : is THIS SYSTEM capable of running CRYSIS on MAX ?

because Crysis can be maxed , but you'll get bad FPS (unless you have a GOD-PC ) .

LMAO 4CPU's... priceless.

Nah... medium at high(1280x1024) resolutions or high at low(1024x768) resolutions and it will still struggle in an intense situation.

And to me the game isnt worth any upgrade so just play it the best you can... seriously overrated (IMO).

Yhea at 320x240. No u cant run crysis max with that video card. Crysis requires an 88xx series or 98xx series vga to run max and that at resolutions not higher than 1280x1024 and that without antialising or anisotropic filtering

You need to replace that vid card.

My rig can "max out" Crysis and besides the vid card all your specs are better then mine. I got E4500 OC 2.61GHz, 2GB ram and Geforce 8800GT OC x2.

Runs great on vista with DX10 (Everything on highest) but on 1024x768 :) I got 17' screen so any higher resolution is to small for my taste

Why would you go all out and get the quad core and 4 gigs and get a relatively weak card like that.

The answer is get an 8800GT or GTS 512, and it'll run better.

This guy can't even max out crysis with his specs

http://youtube.com/watch?v=chCa0XrmKaU

you would need like Oct-SLI or CF GPU's, with Oct-core with 4gigs+ of ram to completely max out Crysis on Ultra at 1600x res.

you'd be better off waiting till 2010 or 2011......

I dont really see the idea of having a quad core if your just going to bottleneck it with your 8600 GTS. You need a card from the 8800 series just to run it on high settings and thats not even near maxing it.

With this system, this ia an answer of "very no". NASA custom made a computer to run it at max everything and it crashed in 10 minutes.

If you are on a tight budget the 9600GT would be right up your ally for an upgrade.. Its just preform a tiny bit worse then the more expensive 8800GT (512mb)

LOL you are saying that you get 42FPS with a 9800GTX in the GPU benchmark in DX9 very high at 16x10 with 2xAA??:roll:

Dont even try to argue this.Benchmarks dont lie and you ARE lying.Just accept that your 9800GTX cannot max out crysis,not even close.You CANNOT even get 42FPS in high at 16x10 with 2xAA let alone very high.

I don't see why I'd lie. I guess I'm flattered though - considering I apparently got some "super" version of a 9800GTX. Oh, wait, no I didn't. Really though, I don't know what to say. Thanks?

I run crysis on very high except for shadows and get a constant 25-30 fps which is smooth playable framerates. Some missions like the tank though kill the fps.

I'm running 2 8800 gts 512 in sli with oc'd q6600 and 4 gb ram. I'd suggest going with evga and when the 9900 series comes out do their step up program

Get a better grpahics card and you should be set man. It wont be totally maxing the game out, but it should look very good and run pretty decent with your system, just as long as you get a new card.

I run it nearly flawless on my system, with the AA turned up aswell, great game btw.

Ok I just ran the crysis GPU benchmark on a friends PC with an 8800GT(stock) and E4600(overclocked).I ran at 16x10 with 2xAA,vsync off,no AF and all DX9 very high settings and he got 14FPS.LOL sure you are getting 42FPS ROFL!

You maybe running a cheap version of very high and not the real one.But forget it you cant even get that performance in high unless ofcourse youi show a benchmark prooving your point?Surely there has to be one in so many?:roll:

EDIT: Oh and this is under XP.
