I'm buying the PC game Crysis for my brother, a little help?

Question

I know we have a graphics card in our PC b/c my brother plays lots of video games, but is that enough? What else would I need to get him so he can play the game at its best?

I'm no computer genius, so if you could give me answers in simple english, that would be great.

thanks!

Answer 2

Well let me put it this way:

Crysis is the most graphically intensive game out right now for the computer.

Have you bought your computer within the last 2 years? Have you upgraded it alot?

If not, I'd recommend not getting him the game. It's more annoying to buy a game and attempt to play it on it's worst settings and not even be able to do that than not get the game at all.

Answer 3

what other games does he play on his pc, i dont know much about pc's but i do know that Crysis needs a top of the line pc to run it.  If you look at Crysis' box it should tell you the minimum requirements to run the game.
