Will This System Run Crysis On High at 1280x1024 with no AA or AF?

Question

Evga 9800gtx+ or PNY 9800gtx (what do you reccomend?)

Intel Core 2 Quad at 2.4ghz will overclock to 3.0 in future.

Evga 680i Motherboard, Tri-Sli support.

Ultra Aluminum Case

Ultra x3 1000 watt Power Supply

500gig Hard Drive

3-4 gigs of dual channel ram

Vista 32 Bit

Some Lightscribe drive

Yeah that's what i plan on buying. Will it run Crysis on High at 1280x1024 with no AA or AF ?

Only respond if you have an awnser unlike the guy who just wrote a question mark on my other post.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Dude that computer looks sweet but I don't recommend the Vista because that might cause it not to work.  Vista requires more juice compared to Windows XP to load anything thus I think go with XP.  I built a computer that can play Crysis and my cousin built almost the same thing if not better but his could not play Crysis because he had Vista and I have XP 32 bit edition.

Answer 2

If you wanna game forget about a Q6600 and use an E8400 and up Core 2 Duo instead. Games aren't quad pumped. Gonna run on 2 cores at 2.4Ghz with a 1066FSB with the slower 65nm architecture with the quad while running, for example, 3.16 Ghz on both cores at a 1333FSB and with the faster 45nm on an E8500. I run an E8500 on my Vista gaming rig at 3.8 (9.5X400=1600FSB) 24/7 and it goes over 4 easy. Crysis is the most cpu intensive game I've ever played. Bump the cpu up 20% and the frame rates go up 10%. Vista is the way to go for gaming--DX10---XP and DX9 are yesterdays news in extreme gaming. If someone has to run XP because Vista bogs their rig down too much the reality is that they have a weak rig. I run Vista in one of my gaming rigs and there's nothing slow about it. Maxs Crysis out at all very high even with 2XAA but I'm running 2 Raptors in Raid0, Corsair Dominator ram and 2 4870s in Crossfire on an Asus X48 board.

If youre gonna run an Nvidia card make sure you put the latest Nivida drivers in off their website-dont even bother with the ones on the CD. Also put the Crysis 1.2 patch in. Avoid the 1.1 patch--it has bugs.  Should be able to run Crysis at high. If Nomad isn't running as fast as he should then you can always go in and tweak the graphics settings. Dont have to run all 12 at the same settings. Main ones you want to run on high are the shaders.

Answer 3

It should, but don't expect a miracle. using no AA or AF will definitely help it.

Crysis was written to torture video cards. Had the coders optimized it, it would run much better on lower hardware... but they didn't.

Answer 4

h**l yeah! I have the same configuration only i have 8800GTX.

Crysis

minimum for XP:

2.8Ghz CPU,

1Gb Ram,

12Gb free space,

256MB video (ATI 9800pro or greater)

DirectX 9.0c

for Vista:

3.2Ghz CPU

1.5Gb Ram

256MB video (radeon X800 or greather)

DirectX 9.0c

Laptop versions of these may work but are not supported.

HAVE FUN!!!
