Should my PC run Crysis VERY Well?

I can run Crysis on Very High and full resolution, hower it is choppy, playable, but more choppy than smooth. My setup is a Intel quad core 2.66 ghz, 4 gb of patriot RAM, 1TB WD HD, GIGABYTE Utra Durable 3 motherboard, Nvidia GTS250 1GB video card.

Should this setup be running Crysis maxed out smoothly?

-Thanks

Nope.

Nope.

Nope, sadly not.

i dont think there is anything out yet that can max crysis with framerates in the 60s. you can probably come close now but it will probably be another year or two before average priced stuff can come close.

which is actually pretty awesome i think. i know most people complain how horribly optimized the game is but i think it is cool that a year from now crysis will still likely be the best looking game available.

You can run the game maxed out and average about 30 FPS if you are at low resolutions and have no AA or AF enabled.

Otherwise, expect frame rates in the 20s, possibly teens.

The GTS 250 is your downfall in this case. It isn't even top-of-the-line.

GTX285 gives 20-30 fps maxed at 1920*1080, 2 AA. (Well, not maxed.. CCC 2.21 level 5).

That's very playable btw.

Not at a very high or "full resolution" as he puts it.

I can play it on really good graphics... with no lag... thats good enough for me

I don't know how everyone else is set up but my specs for my fossil are:

ASUSA8N32-SLI Deluxe - motherboard- ATX - nForce4 SLI X16 - Socket 939

AMD 4800x2

3GB DDR

EVGA GTX 260

Samsung 24'' Monitor (1920x1200)

and I am running Crysis on XP (SP 2) at 1920x1200 (everything turned on to max that is allowed in XP)with no problems whatsoever. If I remember I can post a screenshot later on tonight if anyone does not believe it. So to answer the originial poster's question, yes I do believe you should be able to run this game without problems. Don't believe the hype!

how can i get my pc to run crysis at my computer's fullest potential. I have a core two duo, geforce Gt 260, a PCQ5 motherboard and vista ultimate as the OS. what can i do to make it run at its fullest?

Edit: oh and 4GB of cosair ram

Not with that pc but these days its not hard to run really. I got a 2.66ghz c2d, 2gig ram and a 4890 and im getting 28-45 fps with all very high, 1280x1024 and 8x AA. The AA is a real kicker but the game looks so much better with it. Without AA i can get 35-50fps. Im even getting 30fps on the ice levels with the AA on.

nope

with my rig i cant play max with my monitor resolution. otherwise my fps will be around 15-25. i have mine set to everything high and i get 30-40 fps

Nope.

Replace S in GTS to X, and there you go.

I can't even run Crysis with everything Maxxed, with an enjoyable framerate.

for FPS I like to have an avg of 60 fps. I couldn't stand to play with 30 fps, because even at 30, it seems laggy to me, and then when you get into some huge action it will dip down to 20 or below. I can't play like that, however some people don't mind.

Thanks, I just wanted to check. I can play it all maxed out fine, it is just not as smooth as on low settings.

Okay, go to the AlienWare website and max out the most expensive desktop. I've done it. It ends up at about $11,000. It makes me wish I wasn't a teenager.

Alienware is incredibly overpriced and not a good indication of what it would cost to build a top-of-the-line PC gaming machine, even with the absolute best gear. If you buy your own stuff and build your own computer, you can do so much better than what Alienware provides . .

it really depends on the games. fps anything lower than 30 is annoying. but i reckon 40 should be the min to play fps games.
as for other games like rts. 30 fps is enough to play

I personally think many PC gamers get too hung up on running games at max or near max settings. I enjoyed Crysis and thought it looked great without having every setting at or near max. I doubt it would have been that much better an experience at max settings.

.....and that is my point! I have ancient parts, but I can still enjoy Crysis with amazing quality! This is what I was trying to get accross to the original poster. Everyone is telling him/her that they cannot run Crysis (with reasonable enjoyment)with those specs and that is simply not true. I am on a serious budget with a wife, mortage, and 1.5 kids but I know how to make this work.

2yrs ago when this game came out I had the exact same set up, but instead I had 2GB and a 7900GTO (512MB) video card. The game ran very very slow. For example, during the opening cenimatic, when the plane is flying over the island. My machine would crawl...., but after adding another GB of ram and upgrade of my video card (thanks FRYs for the sale!) I no longer have any issues. I may be two years behind the majority of people who played this game, but I am satisfied none the less. The upgrade only cost me $130 after rebates and coupons! Not only can I run Crysis comfortably, I went and picked up FC2 and will soon get Fallout 3 plus some others I have missed out on in the last two years.

For those people who have the money to upgrade when new parts come out, I think that is great for them. But for the rest of us who may not be as fortunate due to other priorities, we make the best of what we have!

[QUOTE="skrillalover"] precisely. Sorry, Tobberman, but the GTS 250 is actually pretty much just a repackaged 9800 gtx, which is just a repackaged 8800 GTX, which is still a good card, and will pump decent frames out of today's games, but not Crysis. You could play it on High settings and a half-assed res, but not much more.IMaBIOHAZARD
