I am wanting to buy Crysis soon and I want to be able to play it with decent quality. My specs are:

Core 2 Duo 3.0 Ghz E8400
4GB Corsair C5D @ 1066 Mhz
Thermaltake 750W Power Supply
XFX 9600 GT Alpha Dog Edition 512 MB
EVGA 780i Motherboard
Windows Vista Ultimate

Skip Crysis and go straight for Warhead; it runs a lot better, and your PC should be able to handle it on medium/high depending on your monitor resolution.

Those specs aren't bad, but Crysis is a memory hog and you'll need for than 512 MB on your GPU to play the game at max resolution with High/Very High Settings. Still, that should be enough to run the game well enough at medium settings with AA off.

And I'll echo Heyyou -- Crysis Warhead will run better on those specs and it has a better multiplayer, too.

Can I still play the original Crysis campaign and everything with Crysis Warhead?
