I'm buying a new PC, and having played Crysis reccently at my local Gaming Internet Cafe/Venue I desperatly want it.. so I have a Graphics card already (2600ATi Radeon Graphics card) and I'm looking for a PC at £400-ish (thats about $800) For one will my GCard work on Crysis, and will this PC I have a list of the Crysis Specs, but as I'm resonably hopeless at PC Hardware I thought I may ask you. Crysis Specs

Thanks, I hope it does work, if its something to do with the PC then please recomend a PC, or if its the Graphics Card please recomend a PC with a better G Card that is under £420 (about $840)

I have that Dell Inspiron 530, but I have the 8600GT. I have that, and I run crysis about an average of 60 FPS on 1024x768 on medium settings, and with a mix of low, medium, and high I get an average of about 35 FPS on 1440x900. The rest of my specs are in my sig.

Of what? The game? I have the demo and that's what I get. Also, when I take a screenshot from xfire for some reason fraps doesn't appear. I'll do it later using the print screen button.

that's a pretty tight budget for a computer that should be able to run crysis at formal settings.

what VGA slots does your motherboard have? AGP? PCI-E? if so you could probably just buy a new videocard, and with that maybe a new processor if your sockets will allow you to.

you would be honestly better off assembling your own computer, dell prices their components WAY too high. is there any hardware webshop you could be using? i could probably find some hardware that'll snug into together nicely.

I've got the HD 2600 in my laptop overclocked to 600/450 from 500/400 stock (which makes it very similar to the desktop 2600 pro with DDR2). I made up a custom game config file for good performance throughout the game at 1024x768. Basically, I have everything on low, but medium sound, water, volumetric effects and physics. The config file modifies the low shader settings so that the trees and grass look like medium shaders (so they move and have more realistic shading), but also I have shading on surfaces like metal, glass and terrain on high. I still have occasional dips below 25fps in some areas (like the zero-gravity area), but generally the framerate is around 30 or more. So, yes, the HD 2600 is just about good enough for Crysis, but I consider it the bare minimum (I wouldn't want to go lower than 1024x768 ).

Here is what's in my config file

e_sky_type=1,
q_renderer=1,
q_shadervegetation=1,
q_shadermetal=2,
q_shaderfx=0,
q_shaderglass=2,
e_vegetation_use_terrain_color=1,
sys_flash_edgeaa=1,
q_shaderterrain=1,

To get a config file, I copied the one from here: My Documents > My Games > Crysis > game.cfg , cleared everything in it, entered my settings and renamed it "System" and placed it in the main crysis folder (program files, not the one in my docs).

Note: For some reason, the address of the config file I specified won't post with backslashes, so I have used > .

Well, it's more of an average of about 55 fps. In firefights it usually goes down to 40, explosions to like 35, and super big explosions (like the ones in my xfire screenshots page) down to 20. When I'm walking it goes as high as 80 and if I look up 110 or so. Walking usually is around 60-70.

2 GB of DDR2 system memory

500 GB hard drive, 7200 rpm

2048 MB RAM

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium Edition

NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE (came installed with the processor)

Thanks for the help

There's no way you can play crysis with that GPU u got there. I suggest u get HD4670 cost around £50 and it requires low power to run. On 1024x768 high setting you would get like 40fps average.

I can average those figures too @ 1400x900 / high settings / 4xoversampling / dx9 though :)

Youre pushing for to lowest settings for crysis.f-a-d-3

Not at all, with my rig in my sig, I get about about 30-35 fps with all settings on high at 1280x1024. And I paid under $400 for all of it.
