Crysis 2 minimum system specs revealed

[QUOTE="RK-Mara"]Are they kidding me? I played Crysis on medium/high settings and now my rig barely cuts it? The game looks worse than the original.GulliversTravel

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"][QUOTE="GulliversTravel"]More importantly the levels are a lot smaller.:?dakan45

I think no single gpu will be enough to max out this game even at 1680x1050.

Hakkai007

I highly doubt that since it's also being developed for consoles.

Well, Im glad Ive got my PS3 :)

Errr no i dont think you could ever prove me wrong , like the time when you said the 7 series of cards could still hold its own with most console games :lol:

And no doom 3 looked about identical to low settings the only thing they did was cut some of the levels out , but hey at least it was playable on a Gforce 2 it woudlnt come anywhere near 30 fps.

Ironically enough though i thought RE4 on the Gamecube was probably the best looking game last gen when it came to console titles.

TheSterls

How would you know it wouldn't run on a Geforce 2?

How would you know what frame rate it would get?

Prove it to me.

And yes a 7 series card can handle games at console settings and sometimes higher res.

TheSterls

So is metro2033, gta 4and current gpus are not so good at dx11.

Alienware_fan

A single GTX 580 could easily max Metro 2033 at 1680x1050 the same can be said for GTA IV.

Because my friend had it and got an average of 15fps at 640x480 res:|

You know as good as i do it would take forever to find those benchmarks

And no a 7 series card may run those games at higher res but it wont do it at even a playable framerate not any game thats come out in the past 2 years anyways.

Your friend probably didn't know how to take care of his computer.

And a 7 series card would work fine in mulitplats even up to today at console settings unless it is horribly unoptimized which very few are.

Yea thats about as valid as a source as I will get from you .

And no they wont even well optmized games like DMC4 and RE5 get rocked when using the 7 series and there not horrilby unoptmized because they run great on the 8 and beyond.

If an 8600gt can handle Devil May Cry 4 at higher settings than consoles and 8xAA at 1024x768 then a stronger 7800gt could do better.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UWSpOTUm9es

Also the weaker 8600gt can handle Resident Evil 5 on everything max with 1024x768 res.

The 8600gt is barely stronger than a 7600gt. The 7800gt should handle it fine on console settings.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6z6llp9Xdo

Crytek said these are not the official specs. And there's no indication that these aren't the recommended specs (way more likely than minimum). These specs could probably run the game at moderately high settings, I seriously doubt the game is so unoptimized that a decent PC like that could only run it at LOW settings.

Given that a 8800gt will max most console games (mass effect 2 for example), listing it as a minimum is a obvious exageration.

i might be able to run it on medium settings

If I'm getting it,it will be for 360.
No way my pc's running that.

Perhaps that is the point. People who know hardware will know those specs are exagerated, but others will get scared off.

What is your Current Pc specs?

Because if you have a dual core cpu 2gb of memory and a geforce 8 you will be able to play the game at much higher settings then the xbox ever could. It's like metro 2033lowest settings on Pc was higher graphical quality then the console versions

I want to play it above medium settings with a steady fps.Won't happen on my rig.Lto_thaG

Judging your specs, I don't think you were considering the PC version in the first place. PS3 has a better GPU.

[QUOTE="Lto_thaG"]

[QUOTE="AnnoyedDragon"] Won't happen on consoles either, given they are supposed to be around medium. Those specs easily did a mix of med/high in Crysis one, so aren't likely minimum like they claim.

I'm upgrading my rig now, even though I go beyond the minimum:P, I need a better cpu though.

Yeah,hence why I game on consoles.Lto_thaG

The first Crysis is an inefficient mess that looks great, but took far too many resources. Let's see if Crysis 2 uses the resources far more efficiently.hiphops_savior

Crysis was fairly well optimized for me and looked great for what it could be ran on.

the good thing about consoles you won't have to worry about these any more (a former PC gamer)Wings_008

No, instead console gamers spend their time arguing over visual differences, because they cannot simply scale the game to their preferred settings.

As usual neither of you posted any proof or facts of anything. You posted a video of DMC4 with no benchmkarks whatsoever running at a resolution LOWER THEN THE CONSOELS. Its not running it at higher settings as there were no higher settings on DMC4. The conosole version is max settings at 720p with 60fps. It does not show anywhere what the framerate was and unless you can prove a 8600gt running those games at 60fps then you proved nothing . Its funny because whenever I asked you to post the benchmarks with the framerates you fail to do so, Why? Because they dont exist a 7600gt wont run any game as good as a PS3 or 360 not even close and the fact you cant show me one game within the last 3 years with a framerate kind of proves this .

Also you just shot yourself in the foot with the RE5 comparison as digital foundry said the 360 version was equivlent to the pc version at very high settings, he is only running it on high settings and hes running it lower then 720p. I pretty much rest my case. Good day.

While RE5 does look better on PC (although admittedly its only because of higher resolution and AA), and this is without mods. DMC4 however looks way better on PC and needs nothing to run. had a friend playing it max settings 1440x900 with a gt240 with 60+ FPS. Then there is also this mode which consoles dont have.

whith this system you can play crysis 2.but probably it will look like amiga 64(I played the first one on low grfix and it did look like s**t).

[QUOTE="TheSterls"]

[QUOTE="04dcarraher"] Ok... he likes to keep on going and going just like the Energizer Bunny not knowing the truth and or ignoring it. Alot of the xbox games ran at 320x240 and some ran at 640x480, which back in 2001 was still considered low resolutions. Also RE5 and DMC 4 were well done console ports and only needed a geforce 6 to run and a geforce 7600+ to run those games equal to greater graphics then the console versions. Also I know where sterls is getting that bad info.... There is a video on youtube he's used in the past showing RE5 running poorly on a Pc with FRAPS and the specs of that Pc was a pentium 4 and a geforce 7600. And he thinks that is proof that the game runs horrible and that its proof that a gefoece 7 cant run RE5.... But he ingores the fact that between the use of FRAPS and the that Pc's processor is below the min system requirements. Really Im surprized it ran as good as it did because of those two facts, showing that RE5 is a well done port. Iantheone

DMC4 doesnt look better on pc other then higher res and AA. It does have an extra mode but regardless the Gforce 7 series does not give you equal settings to a console at 60fps.

Not bad at all. Definitely be buying it on PC.
