PC Game Requirements - Ask 'Can my PC run this game?' questions here

Can I run Crysis smoothly on my PC on a 1280x1024?

intel core 2 duo 1.86ghz

3 GB 667mhz

ati radeon HD 3870

I purchased crysis recently and I was hoping that I would be able to play it at max settings on my systembut itturned out to be an even bigger system hog than Ipredicted :o. Keeping my experience in mind, I would say that the system requirements posted on the first page of this thread should be upgraded.

And I also want to know what current games there are that support Anti-Aliasing besides CoD4 at x4? And if u know how much (x2,x4,x8,x16,x24)?monsterman7893

If you want helping out you might want to stop typing like a retard...Turn off caps, stop typing like a special boy, and most people on here will be glad to help you out. Until then don't expect anything more than people telling you how much of a dick you sound.

That cheap video card will rob your system of decent game performance. Why you people persist at being stingy about the most important part of the PC when you want to play games is beyond me ! Kiwi_1

ok, i'm on a budget so i can't afford a better card than that. but i can afford another one to put in the available pcie slot. if i put 2 of them in there, will that improve performance in any way?

If a mainboard had twinned PCI-e video slots, and you have two of the same GPU / VPU (no, I won't bother looking up your previous message, so I don't know what cheap and slow part you chose), an nVIDIA Chipset will allow you to run two of theirs in "SLI" mode. The AMD/ ATI chipset has "Crossfire" that works about the same way, allowing the two to share the graphics chores, which adds about the same additional performance as would be available from the next full step up the GPU performance ladder; thus, a SLI'd pair of 8600 GS cards would have equalled an 8800 GS (if there had been one).

I didn't name twinned 8400 cards because those are so bad that SLI hardly affects the results. I forget whether the HD 2400 is as horrible as the Geforce 8400, but in the prior generation, two Crossfired X1300s (no, I haven't looked them up to find out if there was any Crossfire option for that VPU) potentially could match a single X1600.

There is no matchup along these lines using any AGP video bus, and none (in current production) using any plain PCI (the white slots).

I know this may sound a lil' odd... but the fact is that's actually my doubt... it's not a hands-up or even recent, but I'd like to know if my sigle-core P4 3.06GHz with DDR333 769MHz RAM anda FX5600ultra 128MB from MSI would be able to run The Elder Scrolls IV - Oblivion... according to minimum requirements it can, and so does according to PC requirement labs and orther sites that evaluate PC and tell if it can or can't run a game, yet, I'm doubtful about my GPU... the FX series is not very hardcore graphics at all, and Oblivion is kinda pushed... I just wanted to be positive sure... I do not mind running it at 800*600 if needed with all attributes set to medium or even low, as long as it doesn't gasp a LOT (it stays playable so to speak)...

I loved previous chapters of The Elder Scrolls saga... and I'd like that one to

Thanks in advance :)

Sorry, not out of the box. There's a ridiculously long story that goes with this, but Bethesda performed no compatibility tests, and just printed whatever NVIDIA lies they received as requirements, then compounded that by screwing up the true lists that ATI had offered. So the requirements are nothing but crap.

The true practical minimum card from nVIDIA is the Geforce 6800 GT, while the practical minimum ATI card is the Radeon X800 Pro.

Later, after the perfidy of nVIDIA's sabotage came to light, Bethsoft added an extra, Ultra-Low (unbelieveably ugly looking) graphics setting that works for high-number FXes like 5900s, and for the Geforce 6200/ 6600. For an FX 5600, you get both really ugly as sin, plus slower than snails crawling upwind in a hurricane.

There's a work-around, which swaps Dx8 textures in, and isn't anything like as ugly as the patch's Ultra Low, but for the FX 5600, will still end up relatively slow in the cities, in the woods, during mob scenes, and around any of the Gates. It's called OldBlivion.

My setup is a Pentium D 3.0 Ghz, 2 gigs ram, 2 x nvidia 7800 gtx, windows xp and it runs Cysis terribly. The specs below are the recommended for Crysis. Are they talking about the 512mb versions or the 256mb for the cards? Mine are the 256mb. Can someone explain why Crysis runs bad even on medium settings on my pc?

• CPU: Dual-core CPU (Athlon X2/Pentium D)
• Graphics: Nvidia 7800GTX/ATI X1800XT (SM 3.0) or DX10 equivalent
• RAM: 1.5Gb
• HDD: 6GB
• Internet: 512k+ (128k+ upstream)
• Optical Drive: DVD
• Software: DX10 with Windows Vista

It appears to me that Crysis left that slower Pentium D of yours in the dust. Visit the CPU charts at Toms Hardware to find out how poorly it ranks compared to more current processors (no, I don't care if you bought three year old technology more recently than that; before the C2Ds, the A64s had been killing all P4s for 2-3 years already). Crytek is being overly optimistic (IMO) to tell gamers with P4 Ds any slower than 3.3 GHz that they would do any better than "Low-Medium" (Recommended is essentially supposed to be the middle of Medium in my book).

Regarding video RAM, basic performance isn't affected by having 512 MBs for high resolutions. If you were running at 1920 by 1200 pixels, then the larger RAM allows texture blocks to swap in and out.

cheers for this info. i'm upgrading to a core 2 quad q6600 for around $300. anything better than that and i'm going into the extreme series which are over $1000. no thanks.

Hi, can I run Gears of War on my p. Is an old compaq pc presario 2100 with AMD athlon XP-mobile with windows xp and service pack 2.darth_carlos_90

Sorry, I make it a policy NOT to do your work for you. I don't know what a Compaq Presario 2100 is, and really don't care. Other responders may let you get by with being lazy.

Thanks a lot on the explanation.. and well, it's too bad, mainly hence I do not own a Xbox360 but heyz, I can always upgrade this old machine... Once again, thanks... (OldBlivion.. ROFL... even the name of it makes me not want to try it)

1. There is no such Central Processing Unit. The 800 MHz Intel CPUs were Pentium 3s, and the early s370 Celerons. nVIDIA never made chipsets for those.

2. Most recent games require a separate, discrete video card, and the general rule about those is that a "600" performance level is where a beginner / part- time gamer starts his card shopping.

3. You don't have a real separate video circuit board, so I didn't look up Team Fortress for you, but it's not as if the specs aren't widely available all around the 'Net. You should already have known that the answer had to be NO.

For "run", consider "CRAWL" to be the appropriate match, naturally, as totally clear throughout the however many pages of this lengthy thread. Kiwi_1

So wiuld I be able to play crysis on my computer?

Technically yyes, but at the lowest possible settings with an extremely low framerate. Whcih makes it not even worth bothering with.

Time to upgrade.

just go here... Requirement LabvVvDreamervVv

I was wondering would i be able to play crysis on this system with any sort of decent graphics and fps,
