Farcry 2 PC Requirements

man makes me sad my pc dosent even meet the mim and even if it did i bet the game would still run like crapGen007

How old is your PC? A 6800 was high-end in 2004...

That's crazy. That's why I'll be getting the XBox 360 version instead.

Crazy? That's barely mid-range. You could build a PC that meets the recommended requirements for next to nothing.

I only have a 8400 gt, but I want to try to get a 8800 gt. I don't know I would go about removing it and such, though.

I guess I'll just miss out.

Don't waste your money, the Radeon 4850 is a far better investment at this point - $150 ~ $170 for the new midrange champion.

[QUOTE="Memoryitis"]Arent these req the same as Crysis? I cant find the req on my box...Teufelhuhn

Nope, Crysis's system requirements are significantly higher.

Assassin's Creed also has higher system requirements than Crysis, but ask anybody what game is more demanding.

Also, the recommended requirements for Crysis require at least an 8800 series card while Far Cry 2's requirements require an 8600GTS. Although Far Cry 2 requires the better CPU, it's not by a wide margin. The video cards are much more varied in performance, however.

Thats a bunch of crap. The recommenced is never what you need to run the game maxed out. Sure you'll be able to run it decently but now what you expect. Anyone remember the requirement for crysis and yet the only play to truell7 play it maxed out is with tri-SLI 280GTXs.

Hey but if there close to that then I reward ubisoft for good optimizing.

DAZZER7

Well the 360 wont be matching the recommended requirements lol. and you dont need tri-sli GTX 280s to max crysis. My friend does it with a single GTX260 at 1440x900...stop talking rubbish pls.

A GTX 260 would start to suffer on resolutions above 1680 x 1050, though.

Yeah it would, not disputing that mate :)

My 9800GX2 can play Crysis at 1680x1050 on 'High' settings (DX10, no AA), and it runs fairly smooth. I don't see how this game will be any different.

Although my friend has not tested it, I presume his GTX 260 would struggle at resolutions above 1440x900, with very high settings and AA. I get away with playing on high settings dx9/xp on my 8800 GTS at 1280x1024 with no AA akthough i do admit I get slow downs below 30fps here and there.

If you have a 8800GT there are worse things you could have spent your money on, you could have done better but it is not the end of the world.

It still is a damn good card, the only game I have that stresses it is Crysis..

Well that depends greatly on when you bought the 8800gt and how much you paid for it.

thats not crazy the recommended is pretty low end if you ask me...by todays standards, last year it would have been a middle-end PCzomgwtfbbqlol1

The problem is that these people buy a Dell and expect it to be able to play games for a decade. "This is a top of the line computer!" - when it was never top-of-the-line, and it has been years since they bought an upgrade. They blame Crysis, or they blame Photoshop when it won't run on something a decade old the way it will on a new machine - yet the fact is they're expecting this old machine to be capable of things that were impossible when it was created.

Your P4 machine wasn't built for Crysis graphics - your P4 machine wasn't built for decoding 1080p video - your P4 machine wasn't built for having eight YouTube tabs open while running Vista - and that's just a fact. These "things" (Crysis, 1080p video, multi-tabbed video browsing) aren't evil - they're fun and exciting, it's just you need to spend the $500 and get a new machine every once in a while to do all the cutting-edge stuff.

I wish they would publish these clarifying what resolution the recommended specs are for.

Nowadays you're not going to find a decent-sized computer monitor that natively goes below 1440 x 900, but I've found hooking up my outdated machines to a 720p television really allows for maxed out gameplay on just about everything, including Crysis. Steady FPS on very high with a low-end X2 and 8800 gt.

Well my system easily exceeds those; so if I decide to pick the game up performance won't be a problem.

As a side note isn't it funny how some driver work can turn a GPU that was widely considering crap into a cross platform recommendation? When the 8600s first came out they struggled against their last gen counterparts, console users sometimes make fun of the fact that PC has to deal with drivers; but there are advantages to post release performance tweaking.

AnnoyedDragon

Truth, the 8600GTS got fairly impressive once the newer drivers came out, and it dropped in price a little. That being said, thats not horrible at all for recommended specs...given the scope of this game.

Sry but medium, and 10-25fps with average of 20fps and less, thats unplayble, please uppgrade to the PS4 to get average 30fps.
